3-Day Amazon Tour starting the same day you arrive
This page is for travelers who land in Leticia the same day and want to start the route immediately. In the morning, before leaving for Puerto Narino, we also do a visit to Tabatinga in Brazil. If your flight arrives earlier, we can leave Leticia at 12:00 PM. Otherwise the standard same-day departure is 2:00 PM. About two hours later you reach Puerto Narino and begin jungle trekking to the nature reserve for lotus flowers and Pirarucu.
Arrival window: Your flight should land in Leticia before 12:00 pm. Earlier arrivals can leave at 12:00 pm and later morning arrivals use the 2:00 pm departure.
One consistent itinerary all year
Unlike the 7:00 AM next-day departure, this same-day 3-day route keeps one stable schedule through the year. The landscape changes naturally with the water level, but day 1 always includes jungle trekking to the nature reserve for lotus flowers and Pirarucu.
Full 3-day itinerary - same-day start
This version is built for travelers arriving the same day in Leticia. It keeps the route efficient while still giving you a morning visit to Brazil and a meaningful first afternoon in the Amazon.
1
Arrival, Brazil visit, Puerto Narino and jungle trekking
-
Before 12:00 pm Airport meet and greet in Leticia
You arrive in Leticia, meet the team, organize your bags and get ready to start the route the same day without losing a night in town.
-
Late morning Visit to Tabatinga, Brazil
Before boarding the boat, we cross the border for a short visit to Tabatinga in Brazil so travelers begin the trip with a real cross-border Amazon experience on the very first day.
-
12:00 pm or 2:00 pm Same-day boat departure toward Puerto Narino
After the visit to Brazil, if your flight arrives earlier, we can leave Leticia at 12:00 pm. Otherwise the standard departure is 2:00 pm. This keeps the route flexible without wasting the first day.
-
About 2 hours later Arrival and check-in in Puerto Narino
You arrive in Puerto Narino, leave your bags and settle into your private room before starting the first real forest activity of the route.
-
Afternoon activity Jungle trekking to the nature reserve for lotus flowers and Pirarucu
Day 1 already includes a real activity on foot. You do jungle trekking into the nature reserve to spot lotus flowers and look for Pirarucu fish, so travelers clearly experience the forest on the same day they arrive.
-
Night Jungle walk and tarantula-focused night route
After the reserve walk, day 1 closes with a nocturnal jungle route focused on tarantulas and other night-active creatures in primary forest.
2
Peru route, sloths and Tikuna community
-
Morning Boat route toward Peru
The second day opens the cultural and wildlife core of the expedition with more river movement and more direct local contact.
-
Mid-morning Sloth spotting and forest route
The Peru section focuses on sloth observation, jungle reading, sounds and canopy attention rather than fast movement through the forest.

Lunch Traditional meal with the community
The route pauses for a local meal and cultural exchange before turning back toward the Colombian side.
-
Afternoon Villa Paraiso Tikuna community
The day keeps one of the strongest cultural moments of the expedition with Tikuna community contact and a slower view of Loretoyacu life.

-
Morning activity Pink and grey dolphin watching
The final wildlife morning uses river and lake systems with strong chances of sightings and a calmer closing rhythm.
-
Late morning Piranha fishing on the lake routes
Before lunch, the route adds traditional piranha fishing to keep the final day active and hands-on in the Amazon waterways.
-
Midday Final lunch and route wrap-up
A final meal closes the route before the return toward Leticia and onward travel plans.
