Amazon Region Experience the rainforests and indigenous wildlife

Article - July 29, 2011
Covering around 33% of the country but only 1% of its population, the region consists mostly of traditional indigenous tribes and is a gem for those with a spirit of adventure
THE AMAZON REGION BOASTS AN AMAZING BIODIVERSITY THAT ENABLES VISITORS TO SEE ALLIGATORS, BOA CONSTRICTORS AND JAGUARS
Although the Amazon occupies a third of Colombia, it is the the country’s most secluded and least populous area. It forms a part of the great South American region of the Amazon rainforest, which Colombia shares with Bolivia, Suriname, Guyana, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil and Venezuela. To the west, the Amazon region of Colombia is surrounded by the Andes Mountains, which are known as the Amazonic ‘piedemonte’.

The Colombian Amazon is home to various ethnic groups, many of which are Indians who work hard to preserve their customs and regions in which they live. The Amazon region also boasts a unique and incredible biodiversity. While boating or trekking, you can spot alligators, boa constrictors, jaguars, and caymans. Visit the Laguna de Tarapoto, the area of the Pink Amazonian River Dolphins or experience piranha fishing, an activity which has become increasingly popular among visitors to the Amazon.
THE ETHNICAL AND BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY OF THE AMAZON REGION OFFERS A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE

During a stay in the Amazon, many choose to visit Letizia, the capital of Colombia’s Amazon region. The small jungle town on the border of Brazil and Peru is the gateway to Colombia’s Amazon rainforest and is a good place to start rainforest tours. There are many tour operators in Letizia and good hotels there, such as Hotel Anaconda.

Colombian travel agency Aviatur has also built houseboats so tourists can enjoy the Amazon’s beauty in tranquility. These luxurious houseboats give visitors the option to move the boat to different locations of their choice.
For those who choose to venture out in the jungle a little more, Letizia is only a two hour boatride away from Puerto Narinho. The small village is a good base for visitors to Amacayacu National Park, as well as for backpackers, kayakers, and pink dolphin watchers. Casa Selva Hotel is a popular and comfortable choice of hotel in Puerto Narinho.
