Itinerary

Day 1
Huitoto Indigenous Community - Traditional Murui-Cocama Maloca
1 stop
1
Reception at the airport, hotel, or other location. Transportation to the Huitoto community located 7.7 km away. The first activity begins with a guided jungle walk led by a host. During this first tour, the objective is to learn about the different malocas (huts) along the way and talk about their importance and why they were built. This entrance trail will take us approximately 2 hours to reach the main house of the family where we will spend the day and night. Upon arrival, we will participate in many activities such as: swimming in the Takana River, visiting the chagra, crafts and painting workshops; but above all, we will witness the unique medicine that is prepared in this culture to the point of being invited to try it (mambe, ambil, and rape). The day ends with a nighttime exploration in search of animals “that the jungle surprises us with.” We will spend the first night in a private cabin with a private bathroom.
