Arriving in Leticia alone as an American speaking little Spanish I was initially frightened, and doubted my trip. But my fears were quickly allayed once I met Kike, and he assured me he would look after me - he did not let me down. He's a gracious host, and helped me to organize exactly the tours and jungle trips I... More

OMshanty - and Kiki.. is without shadow of a doubt THE place to stay when you visit Leticia. For the peace, tranquillity, the comfort, the helpfulness, the connection with the local community and for the type of people that visit there.

Most importantly, I owe it all to the wonderful services provided by my new friends at... More

Our first reaction was - breathtaking! The lodge is 11 km away from Leticia in the middle of the small jungle. You wake up from the squeaking of parrots. It is so beautiful! What a perfect option! Then a disaster struck! I woke up after our first night with lots of mosquito bites on the side of my body. Hm,... More
