About this package
Ancestrally, the Amazon was home to many peoples, including the Tikuna, Murui, Cocama, Yagua and Bora, each with defined territories and a commitment to protecting the ecosystem. This program brings you closer to their knowledge today in the Amazon Trapezium.
In Leticia you visit an ancestral maloca, where a taita (elder) shares his cosmogony. In Mocagua you taste Amazonian flavors and support the conservation of the woolly monkey. In San Martín de Amacayacu you learn about medicinal plants and the art of Tikuna ceramics.
In Puerto Nariño you see the work of the Natütama Foundation and visit the Tarapoto Lakes to watch pink dolphins. You finish with a hands-on woodcarving workshop.

Is this plan about culture or nature?
Both. Most of the days are spent with indigenous communities and conservation projects, inside one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth.
