Our trip to the Amazon was incredible. The best stay of our Colombian trip, we cannot recommend it enough. The food was local and they adapted to our preferences (my partner is vegetarian), the cabins were comfortable, cozy and we felt at home. Is a one in a lifetime experience to fall asleep inside to the jungle and still feel safe. Thanks to Martin, Gabi, Fran and the entire team!

Staying at this hostal with a local family was an unforgettable experience! It offered an authentic glimpse into the daily life of the Macedonia community. We had incredible adventures, including a night walk through the jungle, a canoe ride on the river, and an amazing trip to a neighboring community in Peru. The chance to observe the stunning nature up close was truly special. The food was delicious, and the comfort exceeded our expectations. If only we could have stayed longer!

I've had a great time staying with Crisanto and Diana! The hospedaje is a lovely house located at the edge of the rainforest. There's lots of insects, birds, exotic trees and plants near the house, and even some tiny monkeys! Diana's food was amazing (she catered to my dietary restrictions too), and Crisanto was a great guide, taking me to the forest both during the day and at night. I also spent some time cooking with Diana, and got some traditional painting done. I really felt like a part of their family, and highly recommend the hospedaje!

All the activities offered were pretty entertaining and fun. I particularly enjoyed trekking in the jungle and being able to see so close so many animals. The staff was very friendly as well and the natural vibes of the place are perfect for an amazon trip.

I was impressed with my room, it offered a sizeable double bed and the accomodation itself overlooked the Amazon river. where you can admire the sunrise and sunset. The staff were super helpful & friendly. The Maloka in the center of the accommodation offered the perfect space to browse the handmade artesanias, as well as enjoy a meal and meet local people and travellers alike. I would go back in a heartbeat.

This is an absolutely amazing place to stay and Andres and his family are the nicest people ever! They welcome you with fresh juice after your jungle walks and always ofger some cold water to refill your bottle. I booked one night, ended up extending my stay and I really want to go back there soon! The room is simple but really comfortable. Mosquito net is well tucked under the mattress so you don’t need to worry about any bugs. Food is absolutely delicious and portions are big (I don’t eat meat and the variety of plates was amazing). There is a really good wifi (in the morning from 7 am until mid-day I think, and in the evening from 5 pm until 10 pm - electricity runs at the same schedule). I LOVED the day jungle walk with Carlos and all the conversations with Andres’s dad. I also did a night walk and basket weaving workshop - both of them were really interesting. Staying with a local family is such a nice way to visit Amazonas and explore the jungle! You can learn a lot and above all - you are getting your info from people who have grown up in the forest and know everything about it. It’s also nice to know that your money stays directly in the community. To get there you can either take a boat from Puerto Nariño to Bocas de Amacayacu (25 000 cop) or take a boat from Leticia and get off at Bocas. Then Andres can pick you up in his boat and take you up the river to San Martin community (35 000 cop one way). Don’t stress about the return trip - they will help you making a reservation for a Leticia bound boat. Everything is cash only and all the walks and workshops are 60-80 000 cop each. You can also rent rubber boots here (I paid 10 000 cop for my entire stay). You need to pay 10 000 cop for entering the community. There is a little shop just in front of the hostel.

Its was an amazing experience! Getting to know the town and its people was lovely, everyone was very welcoming and kind. Gustavo was really really kind, explained me a bit the community a but of history, I learned about their customs, their current situation as a community and how they are envisioning their town to make it better. With Gustavo you can go to explore the jungle, he also can bring you to tours in his boat. The place where a slept was good for resting after long hours of walking. The kitchen was perfect, super well equipped.

Excelente atencion, el personal impecable y amable

La Ceiba is a magical place run by warm, smiling, and helpful people. Staying there is not just about accommodation – it’s a true experience that lets you embrace the spirit of the Amazon. The hotel also offers tours, giving you the chance to fully explore the wonders of the jungle and the Amazon River. I rarely give a 10/10 rating, but this place absolutely deserves it. We spent 4 unforgettable days there, and I am certain I will return. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a unique and authentic experience.

You'll live in the middle of a national park, with the local indigenous Mocagua community 40 minutes away by foot as the next village. You'll be fully immersed in the life in the jungle, with John and his family taking excellent care of you. The activities are great as well - we focused on hikes and boat tours. The price of activities might seem high, but they are organised just for you.
