Calanoa Amazonas

Safari and Wildlife Lodge
Colombian Amazon, Colombia

Calanoa Amazonas is located in the heart of the Colombian jungle bordering both Peru and Brazil, 30 minutes by boat from Leticia.

Each cabin is a two storey A-frame structure. Downstairs has a netted double bed with its own private bathroom and the loft space in each cabin can also sleep up to six people, so a great option for families. A boardwalk connects the cabins with the social areas and doubles as an excellent platform for watching birds and monkeys.

Why we like Calanoa Amazonas

A stay a Calanoa is to explore the Colombian Amazon, visit local communities and take boat trips to national parks and to Tarapoto Lake where it may even be possible to see the extraordinary pink river dolphins.
