Amacayacu National Natural Park

Amacayacu is a national park in the Colombian Amazon. You can get there by boat, sailing up the Amazon River from Leticia, the department’s capital.

I traveled with my family, we arrived to Leticia by airplane and then we took a boat to the hotel. There you can find “The Malocas” these are like rooms with many beds and after 10:00 pm, there isn’t electricity. It’s a very different experience but it’s great. Before the trip, the travel agent told us to wear old clothes.

In Amacayacú we did many activities. One day we went to a tree called "jungle canopy", there we climbed using harnesses to the top. However, my parents climbed by a ladder. Aloft, you can see the tops of the trees, and then you must descend by rappelling.

Another activity we did was go swimming with pink dolphins. It was exciting; we went to a lagoon which flows into the Amazon River.

We also went to Puerto Nariño, a small town located two hours by boat from Leticia.

In Leticia I ate a worm called "Mojojoy", I had always wanted to do it. And I met Kapax "King of the Amazon" in the Decameron Hotel, where we were the last night.

Why this blog?

I write this blog because I want that people know a little all the wonders and beauty that has the Colombian Amazon. Although the Amazon is a part of the country to which the national government ignores and it gives them limited economic resources is one of the regions with the greatest diversity of wildlife in the world. Also, this has a variety of tourist plans that meet the tastes of each person.

I like to spend time with my beautiful girlfriend and my friends watching movies and occasionally we go out and have a couple of drinks. I love Colombian cuisine, but I also like Chinese and Japanese cuisine. Normally I don´t pay much attention to the clothes that I wear, but still I don´t like to be poorly presented. I generally use my medical uniform or casual clothes. When I travel, I prefer to go by airplane, it’s more comfortable and it doesn’t take much time to get to my destination. I like adventure trips and visiting places where I can practice extreme sports.
