Bespoke 14 Day Amazon, Andes, And Caribbean- Luxury Active C

Dan, Go Wild's owner, and our local trip guide will meet you at El Dorado International Airport for private transfer to your hotel for dinner and rest.

After breakfast, take a quick flight to Leticia, the capital of the Amazon department of Colombia. The Amazon produces 20% of the world's oxygen and holds 30% of the world's species. New species of plants or animals are discovered every 3 days. Upon arrival, we travel to Mundo Amazónico, a bio reserve and the best introduction to the Amazon. Take a guided walk through the reserve to learn about the immense diversity of the Amazon, different medicinal plants, and local indigenous cultures.  After lunch, it's off to Tanimboca Nature Reserve, an eco-tourism reserve known for its cabins in the trees. Walk wooden pathways through the jungle to your treehouse, and relax amid the sounds of the jungle. Evening brings locally sourced dinner and, for the brave, a 30 minute nocturnal walk.

Today's activities were developed exclusively for Go Wild guests. After breakfast (and fresh Colombian coffee), we start the morning with a 1 to 2 hour easy hike through the jungle to the Tacana river. Jump in a kayak and descend the meandering Rio Tacana for ~4 hours until we reach a Maloka, a indigenous communal house belonging to our guide. At the Maloka, we dine on a traditional foraged lunch and spend our afternoon getting to know the people who live here and experiencing the sacred process of making Mambe, a ritualistic substance made from the leaves of the most sacred jungle plant, Coca.  Today is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to connect with people who lead lives far removed and far different from what we know in the US. The shared knowledge goes far beyond that of sacred plants as we experience a completely new way of life within the Yucuna community. Depending on your preference, spend the night sleeping in hammocks hung in the Maloka or return to Leticia for a hotel stay.
