PUERTO NARIÑO · COLOMBIAN AMAZON
Follow the river. Listen to the forest. Discover a different rhythm of life, deep in the Amazon.
Find your experience
Where the forest sets the pace.
WELCOME TO OUR CORNER OF THE WORLD
The hush of a canoe slipping through the forest. A bird call you have never heard. A story shared beside the river.
We are Amaru Amazon Experiences, based in Puerto Nariño, Colombia. We bring together river adventures, rainforest walks and cultural encounters for travellers who want to connect with the place they visit.
Choose a single experience or let us shape a few days around what moves you. This is your invitation to slow down and look closer.
A journey that feels like youGO A LITTLE DEEPER
On the water, under the canopy or through local stories. There is more than one way to meet the Amazon.
8 experiences to explore
01Follow the waterways in search of river dolphins and the quiet beauty of the lakes.
A daytime river outing around Lake Tarapoto. Explore the landscape and look for river wildlife with your guide. Sightings and activities depend on conditions.
02Slow down on the water. A daylight kayaking experience, shaped by the river.
Kaya is a daytime activity. Discover the river surroundings by natural light. We confirm the route, equipment and suitability for your group before booking.
03An early start, a quieter forest. Listen, look closer and follow the calls.
A dedicated birdwatching tour, separate from the cacao experience. Take time to listen and observe, with the route and departure arranged for your visit.
04Discover a different side of the Amazon through the story of cacao.
A standalone cacao tour focused on its cultivation and local context, independently of birdwatching. The host visit and activities are confirmed when we plan your trip.
05A torchlight walk into a world of tiny creatures and extraordinary sounds.
A guided night walk for discovering the rainforest after sunset. Move slowly and look for frogs, insects and other nocturnal life. This activity is separate from daytime Kaya.
06Stay for the sounds, the stories and the feeling of waking up somewhere different.
Spend a night in the forest as part of a tailored itinerary. Discuss walking distances, sleeping arrangements, meals and equipment with us to match your expectations.
07Meet the region through craft, everyday life and the stories of its people.
Cultural encounters arranged with local hosts. Visits depend on the community’s availability and wishes. Ask permission for photographs and follow your hosts’ guidance.
08Look up, slow your steps and discover the life between the leaves.
Explore the world of trees, plants and wildlife. We plan the route according to your interests and conditions. Observe animals from a distance, without touching or feeding them.
Every outing follows the river, the weather and the season. Wildlife sightings are a possibility, never a promise.
MAKE ROOM FOR THE UNEXPECTED
A starting point for your adventure, shaped together around your dates, interests and comfort.
Days of discovery with a hotel base. An example to personalise together.
More time under the canopy, with forest nights arranged around your comfort.
Combine a forest stay with hotel nights. We balance immersion and rest together.
Suggested routes, not fixed departures. We confirm the itinerary, accommodation, inclusions and full price with you before booking.
A GUEST IN THE FOREST
Observe from a respectful distance. No chasing, feeding or handling wild animals.
Ask before taking portraits, follow your hosts’ guidance and respect the stories they choose to share.
Bring a refillable bottle, take your litter back and follow the guide’s instructions on every outing.

The river changes throughout the year. Higher water can open routes through flooded forest; lower water offers different walking routes and river landscapes. Tell us your dates and we will explain what is possible at that time. Rain is part of the experience.
