Tourists will be able to visit the most impressive malocas in the Colombian Amazon, learn why for the Tayuyo people these constructions are the center of the universe and speak with the “knower” to learn about their rituals and participate in community activities.

For this experience, it is recommended to wear comfortable and cool clothing: long-sleeved t-shirt, light walking shoes (two pairs, preferably), socks, sun visor and sunglasses. As it is a jungle area, it is necessary to bring: repellent and sunscreen, yellow fever vaccine and Covid-19 vaccine. 

The destination is reached by air, by the Bogotá-Mitú commercial flight of the Satena Airline. In Mitú, travel is done by land and/or by river.
