Ich bin ehrlich gesagt, nicht besonders begeistert von der Unterkunft. Zum einen wird man nicht informiert, dass man in den Wald hineinmuss und das ohne Guide gar nicht möglich ist. Zudem empfand ich die Preise für eine Zwei-/Eintagestour unverschämt. Ich hätte nur zwei Attraktiinen sehen wollen und trotzdem 350€ bezahlt. Touristen werden anscheinend nur mehr als laufende Geldautomaten gesehen. Wenn man, wie ein Mensch behandelt werden will, sollte man hier nicht herkommen.

Translated to English

I'm honestly not very excited about the accommodation. firstly you are not informed that you have to go into the forest and that is not possible without a guide. moreover I felt the Prices for a Two-/One-Day Tour shameless. I would have only wanted to see two attractions and still paid 350€. tourists are apparently seen as more than running ATMs. if you want to be treated like a human being, you shouldn't come here.

We were in contact via WhatsApp and James agreed to pick us up from the airport. He never show up and we could not reach him anymore. After 2 days (!) He wrote us a message with the info were his accommodation is approximately situated and that we can come there by our own.

Solo, female traveler: I met with the owner, to arrange a multi-day Amazon tour. After the meeting, he asked me for drinks and dancing in Leticia/Tabatinga. After I said no, he stopped responding to my messages. Something to be aware of

Au debut on me demandait 600 000 Pesos de Colombie. Je ne savais comment me rendre et j’avais écrit un message . Je n’ai jamais eu de reponse. On m’a dit qu’il y avait des problèmes d’internet. Pourtant tout les autres clients ont reçu un service d’accomplissement. Les excursions sont beaucoup troo cher...

There was no one at the airport when I arrived I had no indication of how to get there. I was forced to pay 140.00 Canadian dollars. At the debut they asked me for 600,000 Colombian Pesos. I didn't know how to get there and I had written a message . I never got a response. They said there were internet problems. Yet all the other clients received a fulfillment service. The excursions are very expensive. Especially the dolphins.

The hostel itself is great. It’s very quiet and you’re in the jungle, hearing all the noises and sounds. It was some of the most relaxing and intimate days I’ve had on my trip. HOWEVER the activities and tours are not good. You will have better and less expensive experiences looking in Leticia with a company. I’d recommend this place for relaxing and communing with nature but not for adventures or experiences in the jungle. 2/3 tours I did felt lazily and poorly done.

Personal muy ameno y servicial. Espacio muy agradable, alejado del centro de la ciudad de Leticia y en medio de la selva amazónica.

Very pleasant space, away from the city center of Leticia and in the middle of the Amazon rainforest.

Ein sehr schöner Ort um den Jungle zu erkunden. Das Resort hat eine Einmalige Lage. Die Guides sind sehr tolle Menschen und sehr hilfsbereit wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit mit ihnen. Danke Estevan und Elder. Die Küche ist auch hervorragend. Das einzige ist der Preis. Wenn man etwas erleben will muss man ordentlich in die Tasche greifen leider war es nur möglich bar zu zahlen was mit den abhebegebühren in Leticia ein teurer Spaß wurde. Das hat unseren Aufenthalt leider bisschen gestört.

Translated to English

A very beautiful place to explore the jungle. The resort has a unique location. The guides are very nice people and very helpful we had a wonderful time with them. Danke Estevan and Elder. The kitchen is also excellent. The only thing is the price. If you want to experience something you have to grab your pocket properly unfortunately it was only possible to pay for the bar which became a more expensive fun with the abbey fees in Leticia. This unfortunately disturbed our stay a bit.

I had a great time in tucuchira. Saoul organized all the activities for me that she wanted to do, which was very nice. it's an experience where you really get back to nature. the guides are very knowledgeable and the lodge is beautiful. Just know that you should book in advance or try to reach the hostel and inform them on your arrival. The hostel is remote and you will need help finding the place, so someone should pick you up.

I stayed for 4 nights and absolutely loved my time there. The hosts are incredibly friendly and welcoming, the food is homecooked and is a little different every day, the tours and the guides are really interesting and fun. I am so happy I chose this place and would 100% choose it again. Can only recommend!

Increíble experiencia en medio de la selva. Conexión total con el lugar y su gente. Lo mejor es el equipo (Norvey, Edgar, Jessica, James, Omí y demás) que hacen de tu estadía lo más auténtica y cómoda posible en un lugar que puede ser muy difícil. RECOMENDADÍSIMO, vale cada peso.

Es war ein traumhafter Aufenthalt mitten im Dschungel des Amazonas. Man muss wissen, worauf man sich einlasst: Wenn man für ein paar Tage ohne Internet und Empfang auskommen kann und einfache Dusch- und Toilettenfacilities (sehr gepflegt) verkraftet, ist das der perfekte Ort den Amzonas zu genießen und ihn richtig authentisch zu erfahren. Die Betreiber sind super nett und passen das Programm individuell an.

Translated to English

It was a traumatic stay in the middle of the Amazon jungle. you have to know what to get into: if you can get by without internet and reception for a few days and handle simple shower and toilet facilities (very well maintained), this is the perfect place to enjoy the Amazon and experience it really authentically. the operators are super nice and adapt the program individually.

This is a beautiful Homestay deeply secluded in the Jungle. The family here are amazing and make you feel so welcomed. Thank you Rosita for the food, James and Norbe for all your knowledge and Luis our guide through the jungle was 10/10 as well. And Manolo the toucan of course! Hosts only speak Spanish, there is no power, wifi or anything of the sort and you must bring mosquito repellent.

I loved the stay in Reserva Tucuchira, these days in the Amazon jungle are one of my highlights of my trip. One of the owner, James, already helped me a lot before the trip and showed me around Leticia and explained everything. Thank you so much James and also many thanks to all the other great people making this place so wonderful. I felt warmly welcomed and like at home :) Would definitely love to come back! Wish you all the best for the future.

Once in a lifetime experience! My partner and I had an amazing trip! Thank you James & Rosa, and especially thank you to our amazing guide Esteban. Also thank you Edgar & Rosa the cook. I highly recommend staying here and doing tours. To arrive at Reserva Tucuchira, you must take a big boat from Leticia to Santa Sofia. If the river is low, you hike 30 minutes to the property. If the river is high, you get a small boat and go up small rivers then a short hike. They have mud boots to borrow.

A once in a lifetime trip. This was the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. This is your chance to fully disconnect from society. No phone service, no electricity, outdoor cold showers, outdoor bathrooms (clean and flushable toilets). Very clean. the staff is beyond incredible. They have a ton of tours to choose from ranging from 70,000-250,000. Everything is cash only so make sure you bring more than enough pesos. Contact the host on WhatsApp and they’ll set everything up for you. Thank you!!!...

Die Unterkunft ist mit viel Liebe und Detail, sowie sehr gutem Essen ausgestattet. Die Dusche und Toiletten sind außerhalb der Schlafräume. Nachts etwas Dunkel aber die Mitarbeiter stellen Kerzen auf. Es macht Sinn eine Kopflampe und eine Powerbank mitzunehmen, da es nicht immer Strom gibt. Mobilfunk so gut wie garnicht, was aber nicht schlimm ist, da der Dschungel viel interessanter ist. Die Familie hat sich immer um unser Wohl gekümmert, was einem das Gefühl von Sicherheit gab

The accommodation is equipped with a lot of love and detail, as well as very good food. The showers and toilets are outside the bedrooms. It's a little dark at night but the staff set up candles. It makes sense to take a headlamp and a power bank with you, as there is not always electricity. Mobile phone as good as garnicht, but not bad, as the jungle is much more interesting. The family has always taken care of our well-being, which gave us a sense of security.

We had amazing 5 days in Reserva Natural Tucuchira! If you search for an authentic Amazonas experience far away from mass tourism, this is your place. Norvey and his team welcomed us so warm, making sure we had all we need, offering us tours (no external tour operators, all organized from them) and we loved the interesting talks with him (in Spanish). The food that is made by Rosa is delicious and fresh! Good vibes all over the place. Muchisimas gracias for an experience we will never forget

Wow what a place! The team who run this place really make you feel at home in one of the most beautiful spots i’ve ever found myself in. Lots of great activities/tours to choose from with guides who are from local communities and really know and understand the surrounding jungle. A huge thank you to Andres, Saul, Luis and Rosa!
