Jungle Tours in Leticia Amazonas starting at 1:30 pm
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 p.m. Otherwise the standard same-day departure is 2:00 p.m.
Arrival, Brazil visit, Puerto Narino and jungle trekking
The first day uses your arrival day well and still gives you a real Amazon activity on foot.
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.
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.
Same-day boat departure toward Puerto Narino
After the visit to Brazil, if your flight arrives earlier, we can leave Leticia at 12:00 p.m. Otherwise the standard departure is 2:00 p.m. This keeps the route flexible without wasting the first day.
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.
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.
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.
Day 2
Peru route, sloths and Tikuna community
A cross-border day with wildlife, forest reading and local culture.
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.
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.
Traditional meal with the community
The route pauses for a local meal and cultural exchange before turning back toward the Colombian side.
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.
Day 3
Dolphins, piranha fishing and return to Leticia
A strong wildlife morning and a hands-on closing on the water.
Pink and grey dolphin watching
The final wildlife morning uses river and lake systems with strong chances of sightings and a calmer closing rhythm.
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.
Final lunch and route wrap-up
A final meal closes the route before the return toward Leticia and onward travel plans.
River return toward Leticia
The final transfer brings the expedition back toward Leticia with standard later-afternoon arrival and transfer support.

FAQ
Questions before booking this tour
Can I really start this tour the same day I arrive in Leticia?
Yes. This version is built for same-day arrivals. Your flight should land before 12:00 p.m. In the morning, before leaving for Puerto Narino, we also include a visit to Tabatinga in Brazil. If your flight lands earlier, we can leave at 12:00 p.m. Otherwise the standard departure is 2:00 p.m.
What happens on day 1 of the same-day version?
Day 1 includes airport meet and greet, a morning visit to Tabatinga in Brazil, the flexible same-day boat departure at 12:00 p.m. or 2:00 p.m., arrival in Puerto Narino, jungle trekking to the nature reserve for lotus flowers and Pirarucu, and a night jungle route focused on tarantulas and nocturnal wildlife.
Is this route different in high water and low water seasons?
The schedule stays the same year-round on this same-day version. The landscape changes naturally with the water level, but the day-by-day structure remains stable.
What is the main difference between this same-day version and the 7:00 a.m. 3-day tour?
This same-day version is built for travelers arriving the same day, while the 7:00 a.m. version is for travelers who arrived the day before and can leave early the next morning. Day 1 is therefore different between the two versions, but both include meaningful jungle activity.
