Audio Guide of Tanimboca Reserve Lookout

The reserve generally operates from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. for day visits, although it offers 24-hour reception for guests. It is located at kilometer 11 on the road to Tarapacá; you can get there easily by taking a taxi or a tuk-tuk from downtown Leticia in a journey of about 30 minutes.

There is no single general admission fee, since visitors pay for specific activities (such as canopy tours, night hikes, or the serpentarium) or for accommodation packages in the tree houses. It is recommended to bring cash and check updated prices directly with local agencies in Leticia before going.

To enjoy the full experience, including the canopy tour and an ecological hike, 3 to 4 hours are recommended. However, the ideal option is to spend a night in the tree cabins to experience the sounds of the jungle at night.

This place is a benchmark in conservation and environmental education, famous for its sustainable accommodations built 12 meters above the ground among oak trees. It is a key site for understanding the upper Amazon ecosystem and observing biodiversity without causing negative impact.

The early morning hours (8:00 a.m.) are ideal for observing birds and active wildlife before the temperature rises. Although it can be visited year-round, the low-water season (July to October) makes hiking easier, while the high-water season allows for more boating.

Due to the jungle terrain, uneven trails, and the nature of the activities (such as climbing tree platforms using ropes or ladders), access is very limited for wheelchair users or people with severe mobility impairments.

A few kilometers away is the Mundo Amazónico Ecological Park, a must-see place to learn about medicinal plants and native fruit trees. You are also close enough to return to Leticia to explore the waterfront promenade and cross into Tabatinga, Brazil.

It is essential to bring lightweight long-sleeved clothing, comfortable walking pants, strong insect repellent, and trekking shoes. Do not forget your yellow fever vaccination certificate and stay hydrated during walks because of the area's humidity.
