Season: The best season to travel to the Amazon in Colombia depends on your preferences and what you want to experience. The climate in the Amazon region is generally hot and humid throughout the year, but there are two main seasons: the rainy season from December to June and the dry season from July to November. During the rainy season, the weather conditions are more favorable, which makes it easier to carry out outdoor activities such as transfers to nearby indigenous communities, facilitating the sighting of natural species.
Accommodation: The accommodation is located in Leticia, and its infrastructure and spaces are inspired by the culture and nature of the Amazon. Its rooms are equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable rest. Being a sustainable hotel, it does not have air conditioning, it has a ceiling and floor fan, a private bathroom and shower, a swimming pool, a restaurant and a bar. Pool maintenance is carried out on Mondays or, if it is a holiday, the following business day, in the morning hours. After two in the afternoon, travelers can use it. The restaurant is only available for breakfast and dinner. There is no lunch service.
Food: The Amazonian diet is influenced by the region's abundant natural ingredients, such as fresh river fish, exotic fruits, among others. Typical dishes include fish casserole, corn tamales, and patacones with whey. Local ingredients such as tucupí, a yellow cassava sauce, add a distinctive touch to the cuisine. The diversity of flavors and textures reflects the cultural and natural richness of the Amazon region. This diet is a fusion of tradition, culture, and nature, highlighting the importance of local ingredients and traditional preparation techniques. Additionally, vegetarian and vegan options adapted to local food are available, which is important to mention when booking.
Transportation: In Amazonas, given its predominantly Amazonian jungle geography and extensive river network, the main means of transportation for tours is by river. Vessels such as speedboats are used to travel along the rivers and tributaries that connect the different communities and sites of interest in the region.
Activities: In case the destination is experiencing drought or if the river is not in optimal condition to carry out the three borders tour, this activity will be replaced by one of the following options: Full day plan in the jungle - Indigenous experience day, Extreme canopy activity - Night ecological trail, Night ecological trail, Full day Amazonian plan or Bird watching. The choice of these activities will be made at the destination, in collaboration with the host, considering the minimum capacity and availability of each one.

Sustainability: Amazonas is home to diverse indigenous communities with unique cultures and traditions. Respect their way of life, beliefs, and territory. Always ask permission before taking photos and be aware that some areas may be sacred or restricted access. Prioritize the purchase of products and services offered by local communities, such as crafts, food, and accommodation, which directly contributes to the economic well-being of the people living in the region. Consume consciously and avoid wasting water and energy. Opt for reusable products instead of disposable ones and carry a refillable water bottle and a reusable bag to minimize waste generation. Learn about local ecosystems, biodiversity, and the threats they face. Share your knowledge with other travelers and promote sustainable practices among your fellow travelers.

Other travel tips: It is advisable to opt for a carry-on suitcase rather than a wheeled one, as it takes up less space and is more comfortable during tours. For health safety reasons, it is necessary to have the yellow fever vaccination and to carry the vaccination card in case it is requested, as some airlines require it. If you take specific medications, make sure to take them with you, and it never hurts to carry a personal first aid kit. It is also advisable to carry an additional bag in case of rain to protect your luggage. Mobile signal can be patchy or even non-existent in some areas due to the remote location and mountainous geography, which can affect the availability of mobile coverage.
Traveling with children: Traveling to the Amazon is not recommended for children under 2 years old due to the attractions visited and the activities carried out, as there are walks in the middle of the jungle that can be exhausting for them.
Traveling with pets: Traveling to the Amazon with pets can be complicated and potentially dangerous for both your pet and the local ecosystem. There are risks of disease, encounters with wild animals, and disruption to the natural environment. It is important to consider safer and more environmentally friendly alternatives for both your pet and the environment.
