Trip to the heart of The Amazon

Trip to the Amazon, explore the mysteries of the Colombian rainforest

In the heart of South America, the Amazon region of Colombia remains largely unknown… and that is what makes it so charming. At Magelia Colombia, a local Franco-Colombian travel agency, we offer you a tailor-made trip to the Amazon, off the beaten track. Discover exuberant nature, unique biodiversity and fascinating indigenous cultures, all while immersing yourself completely in the experience.

Trips to the Amazon, a complete adventure in the Colombian jungle

Sail down the Amazon River, listen to the mysterious sounds of the rainforest at sunrise, meet indigenous communities, discover cave paintings dating back more than 8,000 years, observe exotic animals in their natural habitat… This is what you will experience on an unforgettable trip to the Amazon. Our tours take you to Leticia, the capital of the Colombian Amazon located on the borders of Brazil and Peru, as well as to San José del Guaviare, the gateway to the jungle from the north of the country.

From there, explorations are carried out by canoe, on foot or by 4×4, always guided by passionate local experts. You will immerse yourself in a unique ecosystem: dense forests, pink dolphins leaping out of the water, howler monkeys echoing through the treetops, authentic encounters with indigenous peoples… Every moment of this trip to the Colombian Amazon is a total immersion in a world that is still unspoilt, rich in biodiversity and ancient traditions.

Discover exceptional biodiversity

The Colombian Amazon rainforest is home to an incredible wealth of flora and fauna. During your trip, you will be able to observe toucans, monkeys, caimans, colourful frogs, sloths, fluorescent mushrooms, and, of course, the famous pink Amazon dolphins.

Our itineraries are designed to maximise your chances of encountering wildlife while respecting the ecosystems. Day and night, the excursions are opportunities to learn more about this biodiversity, which is unique in the world.

Extend your adventure to the Pacific Ocean

What if your trip to the Amazon marked the beginning of a broader immersion into the heart of Colombian nature? For travellers seeking adventure and spectacular landscapes, we suggest combining your tour of the Amazon jungle with a getaway to the Pacific coast. Still wild and unspoilt, this region offers a fascinating contrast between dense tropical forest and pristine beaches bordered by the ocean.

From July to October, it is the scene of an exceptional natural spectacle: the observation of humpback whales that come to give birth in the warm waters of the Pacific. You can also swim in crystal-clear waterfalls, explore the coastal jungle or simply relax to the rhythm of nature. An ideal extension to your trip to the Colombian Amazon, to discover another facet of this country rich in biodiversity.

Meet indigenous peoples

A trip to the Amazon is also a unique human adventure. Many indigenous communities still live in this unspoilt region of Colombia, in close harmony with the nature that surrounds them. While some still wear their traditional clothing, others have adopted Western attire. However, their traditions, culture and rituals remain deeply rooted, passed down from generation to generation.

At Magelia Colombia, we work with these communities to create experiences that offer you authentic moments of sharing: traditional craft workshops, shamanic ceremonies, guided walks in the jungle, discovery of medicinal plants and tasting of local specialities. This respectful relationship with indigenous peoples is at the heart of our vision of trip in the Amazon: responsible, sustainable and deeply human.

Journey to the Colombian Amazon: discovering the cave paintings of Cerro Azul

If you dream of a trip to the Amazon that is exotic, cultural and steeped in mystery, head to Colombia, and more specifically Cerro Azul, in the Guaviare region. A few hours’ drive from San José del Guaviare, in the heart of the Serranía de La Lindosa, this exceptional site is home to hundreds of pre-Columbian cave paintings, nestled on the rocky walls of imposing tepuis. These thousand-year-old frescoes, with their still-vibrant ochre pigments, depict scenes of hunting, ceremonies, animals, human figures and enigmatic symbols. Some are interpreted as representations of megafauna dating back to the last ice age, others as shamanic visions. Cerro Azul is considered the ‘Lascaux of the Colombian Amazon’ and is a must-see for lovers of history, archaeology and off-the-beaten-track experiences.

A trip to the Amazon is not just about exploring the lush jungle: it is also an intimate encounter with an ancient and little-known culture. Walking around the Tepuy, you will discover several panels of paintings, each different in style, symbolism and composition. The climb to the mirador offers a spectacular view of the vast green expanse of the Amazon, a sea of foliage stretching as far as the eye can see. This unique place, still untouched by mass tourism, invites contemplation and reflection. What do these paintings really mean? Who created them? Why here? So many unanswered questions that add to the richness and magic of this largely unexplored archaeological site. A real treasure to discover on your next trip to the Amazon.
