From the moment we were greeted at the riverside by our host upon arrival, until the moment we left, we have been treated with kindness and warmth by our host, his family and the wider community. You see that the community is keen to have tourists stay in Macedonia such that they can then use the funds to progress their community projects. For this reason alone I’d recommend this as a base from which to explore the Amazon rather than staying in Leticia. Sure you could get on a group tour from Leticia which herds you quickly through the various communities on the river but you’d be missing out on so much and only a small portion of your funds would be directly helping this community. Lie back in a hammock, listen to the forest and escape the bustle of everyday life. Highly recommend the tours they run. No agencies are involved, our host just gets the locals with the relevant expertise to conduct the tour / activity. There were only ever the 2 of us on any given tour / activity and we did many of them including night walk, animal sanctuaries, fishing, visit to see the sloths, way of life experience etc so you really are getting the personal touch. Our host provided boots for the muddier walks, good binoculars when needed and flashlights. If you are here on a weekend make sure you are around one of the afternoons to watch the community football and volleyball - Great fun. The heat and mosquitos were no way near as bad as we were expecting but we did take the standard recommended precautions (hats, long sleeves, mosi repellant etc). The meals are expertly prepared and delicious. Recommend to bring good earplugs, roosters wake up early! Muchas Gracias!!!!

I loved the location in the middle of the Amazon jungle, the perfect place to go to the tours, to disconnect, to connect with nature, comfortable rooms, and the excellent guides. Definitely an incredible experience!

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.

Modern nice ad clean in a good location close to the watch tower.

We had a lovely time, our host was very kind and helpful, the location is perfect!

Everything! The food was delicious and Charlie organised a few tours for us while we were there. The family was really nice and made us feel very welcome. The fan in the room was especially great for the heat in the amazon. The shower was great as well!

Great place on the edge of the village where monkeys 🐒 come to visit. Nice hammock space, fans, and comfortable beds with mosquito nets. Lovely family. I highly recommend staying here. We truly felt like family by the end of our stay.

Cozy, clean and nice please in the heart of jungle! Host helped us also with tours! The best place in Puerto Nariño! <3

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.

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!
