Travel the heart of the Amazon, where Colombia, Brazil and Peru come together. Visit indigenous communities. Enjoy their cuisine, browse their beautiful crafts, hike with them in the forest, observe the plentiful and unequaled flora and fauna: mammals, birds, dolphins, caimans, monkeys...

Your guide is Valdivino Candido Faia (011-57-312-551-07-84), of Leticia, Colombia, a knowledgeable naturalist, licensed to take tourists into the immense Amazon River system of Colombia, Brazil and Peru, its tributaries, parks, and to the countless indigenous communities who are waiting for you. Trips are tailored to your needs and timing: adventures of anywhere from 3 to 15 days. Return to an air conditioned room each night at the beautiful Takana Hotel, or relax over night with the Indios in their home; the forest at night is like nothing you will ever experience, and the food is excellent. It is truly heartbreaking to leave and you will surely begin planning your return.

A growing number of people have discovered Valdivino through word of mouth. He is not associated with a tour company.  If you want to accompany Valdivino on a tour, email or call his cell phone or the local indigenous museum.  You save substantial money by arranging your own flight to Leticia, your room (we recommend the Takana Hotel because we have stayed there and love it), and your reservations with Valdivino.

The rest, more than there will be time for, is easily discovered.  Valdivino and the wonderful hosts at the hotel will direct you to countless museums, shopping, parks, and other sites in Leticia and Tabatinga.

Valdivino is a private guide who does what he loves in the most beautiful place on earth. Your tour will be filled with beauty for the wealth of life that is Amazonas and respect for the equally beautiful Indios de Amazonas.
