Your Amazon adventure begins at the Leticia airport where your guide meets you and takes you to the Tanimboca Natural Reserve. The reserve is home to huge trees and is teeming with animals — especially at night. You do an initial exploration of the rainforest while the sun is up but the real action happens when it gets dark. On your nocturnal hike you'll see many animals that hide during the day — don't worry, all of them are small.

You spend the night in a treehouse at the forest canopy, 12 meters (39 feet) above the ground.

Today you hike about two hours through the rainforest to a Huitoto village. The Huitoto (also spelled Witoto) are an indigenous people of the Amazon and are known for their artistic handcrafts and sustainable way of life. In the village you visit a Maloka, a traditional Amazonian dwelling. There you speak with the village elder and learn about his people's culture and traditions. If you are lucky the villagers will be making mambe on the day of your visit. Mambe is a green powder made out of toasted coca leaves that people in the Colombian Amazon chew. If it is mambe making day then you'll see how the Huitoto make it and you can try chewing the powder yourself – it is perfectly legal.

You also visit the chagras where the villagers grow their crops, and a nearby river where they catch fish. There you can try your hand at fishing and take a dip. In the afternoon you'll hike back to the Tanimboca reserve and spend the night in a forest cabin.

After breakfast you get on a boat and travel on the Amazon River and cross an invisible border to get to Marasha, a natural reserve in Peruvian territory. From the main channel of the Amazon River you either hike or canoe (depending on the water level) deep into the rainforest to get to the Marasha lodge. The lodge is fronted by a lake full of exotic fish such as arowana, pirarucu, and yes, piranha. You can go kayaking and fishing in the lake, and even take a dip to disprove piranha myths. Many wild animals visit the lodge regularly, including toucans and capybaras.

At night you go on a hike to look for caimans before retiring to the Marasha lodge.
