About

eserva Natural Tucuchira

Experience the Colombian Amazon from the heart of the rainforest.

Reserva Natural Tucuchira is a family-run nature reserve managed by members of the Tikuna Indigenous community, offering authentic and sustainable experiences in one of the most biodiverse places on Earth.

Located a few minutes from the Indigenous community of Santa Sofía, deep in the Colombian Amazon, Tucuchira is a place to disconnect from everyday life and reconnect with nature. With no electricity or Wi-Fi, you'll enjoy candlelit evenings, incredible star-filled skies, and the unforgettable sounds of the rainforest.

Our experiences are designed for small groups, allowing for a more personal connection with the Amazon while minimizing environmental impact. During your stay, you can enjoy:

Night jungle walks to observe insects, amphibians, and reptiles.
Guided rainforest hikes to discover sacred ceiba trees, medicinal plants, and Amazonian biodiversity.
Day and night canoeing through the rainforest.
Pink and grey river dolphin watching.
Sloth and wildlife spotting.
Cultural visits with Indigenous communities, including traditional dances, handicrafts, painting, and weaving.
Overnight jungle camping experiences.

We offer private double rooms and shared accommodation, providing a comfortable stay surrounded by nature. Whether you're looking for adventure, wildlife, cultural exchange, or simply a place to disconnect, Tucuchira offers a truly authentic Amazon experience.

Increíble experiencia en medio de la selva. Conexión total con el lugar y su gente. Lo mejor es el equipo (Norvey, Edgar, Jessica, James, Omí y demás) que hacen de tu estadía lo más auténtica y cómoda posible en un lugar que puede ser muy difícil. RECOMENDADÍSIMO, vale cada peso.

The hostel itself is great. It’s very quiet and you’re in the jungle, hearing all the noises and sounds. It was some of the most relaxing and intimate days I’ve had on my trip. HOWEVER the activities and tours are not good. You will have better and less expensive experiences looking in Leticia with a company. I’d recommend this place for relaxing and communing with nature but not for adventures or experiences in the jungle. 2/3 tours I did felt lazily and poorly done.

This is a beautiful Homestay deeply secluded in the Jungle. The family here are amazing and make you feel so welcomed. Thank you Rosita for the food, James and Norbe for all your knowledge and Luis our guide through the jungle was 10/10 as well. And Manolo the toucan of course! Hosts only speak Spanish, there is no power, wifi or anything of the sort and you must bring mosquito repellent.
