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!

We had an absolutely fantastic time at the hostel! The food was delicious, the tours were incredible, and the price-performance ratio was definitely on point. A very special thank you to Carlos – he is the best tour guide! His knowledge and passion for nature made the experience unforgettable. Thank you for this amazing time surrounded by nature – we loved every single moment!

Probably the best hostel in the entire Amazon! Not only are the owners and their entire family extremely kind and helpful, the food is also amazing and they are the only place in Macedonia (the village) with uninterrupted electricity and high speed internet thanks to solar panels and Starlink (satellite internet). I got quite a bit of work done during my stay and was also able to relax. The hostel is located at the edge of the village (about 5 min walking from where you arrive by boat), which means that it's very quiet and peaceful.

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!

The perfect place for some rainforest relaxation. Jhon coordinated everything prior to our arrival, including boat to/from Mocagua and tours. On arrival we were met by Nelson and transported to the location by boat and 15 min walk (high water season). We did several activities, most within walking distance of the accommodation. Standout was the Cocoa Route, harvesting and processing chocolate from their own trees. The place is owned by a local family and they were lovely (even with our poor Spanish).

Excellent location for disconnect from everything Great food Beautiful scenery The location is perfect Plenty of activities to be organized Very kind personnel, the owners are very gentile We recommend this place 100%

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.

The staff was AMAZING! Super nice and they create trips everyday according to our requests. The place is beautiful set in an idyllic location. We couldn’t dream for a better holiday!
