What to expect
Immerse yourself in the magic of Putumayo, a region where the Amazon rainforest meets the Andes Mountain range, offering breathtaking landscapes, sacred waterfalls, and vibrant cultures. This journey is an invitation to rediscover your connection with nature, to listen to the ancestral wisdom of the local communities, and to savor the richness of a land that pulses through every dish, every woven fabric, and every smile.
DÍA 1: Arrival in Puerto Asís – Finca La Fortuna
Reception by the local guide at Tres de Mayo Airport in Puerto Asís. It is important for passengers to arrive early in the morning to ensure the smooth running of activities.
We begin at Finca La Fortuna, a place that showcases the transformation of rural life: a canoe tour, the preparation of a traditional fiambre, a visit to the coca museum, and the story of how the community replaced illicit crops with sustainable alternatives. We will also have the opportunity to purchase processed Amazonian products such as sweets and chocolates made from local fruits. An experience to learn, taste Amazonian fruits, and feel the resilience of the region.
In the afternoon, we will travel to Mocoa (2 hours). Arrival and check-in at Sumawasi, an accommodation that blends urban and rural styles. Dinner and overnight stay.
DAY 2: El Fin del Mundo Waterfall
Breakfast. We’ll set off for the End of the World, a natural treasure where the Andean and Amazonian ecosystems converge, creating breathtaking landscapes and captivating natural pools. We’ll hike up forest trails, accompanied by primates and local birds, and stop to taste sugarcane juice and learn about the area’s fascinating history.
Then, we’ll cross the Dantayaco River and arrive at a natural overlook to gaze upon the majestic waterfall, over 70 meters high, with the option of canyoning for the more adventurous. Finally, we’ll relax in crystal-clear pools before enjoying lunch in a cave with a spectacular view, and then begin our descent. In the afternoon, we’ll receive a spiritual healing session led by an indigenous Taita, and in the evening, a signature dinner featuring Amazonian ingredients will delight your palate.
At the agreed-upon time, we’ll return to the Sumawasi Hotel in town.
DAY 3: Puerto Limón: Living Culture
Breakfast. The day begins with an exploration of the vibrant local market in Mocoa, where you’ll find handicrafts, exotic fruits, and handmade textiles that capture the essence of Putumayo. Then, we’ll head to Puerto Limón, a town where Afro, Indigenous, and settler cultures converge. We’ll kick off the adventure with a boat ride to two sacred waterfalls, where you can enjoy a refreshing swim, then continue our adventure by tubing down the river while taking in the stunning scenery.
Upon returning to the town, we’ll enjoy a traditional Afro-Colombian lunch with Doña Rafaela and tour the town to explore its colonial history. We’ll conclude by connecting with Indigenous culture alongside the grandmothers, sharing dances and ancestral customs. In the late afternoon, we’ll rest at a lodge located in a nature reserve in Villagarzón and run by a local family, where we’ll also go out on a night safari in search of reptiles and amphibians, discovering the secret life of the jungle. Dinner and lodging.
Breakfast. Departure for the Donde se Oculta el Sol Nature Reserve, a biodiversity sanctuary in the Andean-Amazonian corridor. We’ll hike along trails beneath lush trees, then take a dip in the Mohano waterfall to recharge our energy. (The duration of the activity will depend on the time available.) Lunch. At the agreed-upon time, departure for the airport in Villagarzón or Puerto Asís.
End of the experience, beginning of the memories.
