Amazon s Gold Travel Ventures : An Amazon Jungle Jaunt
Paradise in the Amazon (An Amazon Venture!)

For anyone looking to experience the Amazon rainforest without waking up in the middle of the night covered
in leeches, southern Colombia s Amacayacu National Park offers the perfect mix of adventure and comfort.
Any jaunt to this southern Colombian jungle park will start in Leticia, the lazily paced capital of the Amazonas
department.
The streets are lined with palm trees, shops and cafes, where you can shop for pure cocoa
chocolates and handicrafts, or while a way an afternoon sipping caipirinhas.
The park is 65 kms to the south of the city, and can be reached by a manic one-and-a-half hour speed-boat
ride down the Amacayacu River.
Situated in a large chunk of virgin rainforest, Amacayacu is brimming with
wildlife and features plants that could kill you and others to bring you back.
