Luxury Travel to the Colombian Amazon made for you

It may cover around one third of the entire country, but the Colombian Amazon is one of its best kept secrets. Sitting on the border with Brazil and Peru, this is an area that remains relatively underexplored, promising a deeply grounding and wonderfully off-grid experience. On a luxury Colombian Amazon tour with Jacada, our expert guides and handpicked lodges and excursions will ensure a truly immersive and authentic trip.

Inaccessible by road, the gateway to the rainforest is the town of Leticia, just a two-hour flight from Bogotá. Sitting at the southernmost tip of Colombia, on the border with Peru and Brazil, the city is an eclectic mix of cultures, including a strong Indigenous influence. One of the main Indigenous communities here is the Tikuna. At their invitation, journey into the jungle with a Tikuna guide to learn more about their way of life and how they are sustained by the Amazon river and rainforest.

Here, the mighty Amazon snakes its way through dense, green jungle which teems with life. Deer and puma stalk through the forest, sloths and monkeys climb from tree to tree, and hundreds of species of birds rise up through the canopy and flit through the skies. Head out with your private local guide on a birdwatching tour to spot vividly coloured species such as the purple-breasted cotinga or blue-crowned trogon. On a guided night walk, you can see how the jungle comes alive after dark, as your guide points out species you’d never have noticed during the day.

Beyond hiking, during which you can observe endemic plants and the smaller creatures that inhabit this region, one of the best ways to explore the area is by Amazon river cruise. Navigate the vast network of waterways, home to pink dolphins and dotted with Victoria Regia water lilies, the largest in the world.
