Casa Gregorio

Top choice in Amazon Basin


This small, rustic and friendly Ticuna-Dutch-run hotel in the Ticuna indigenous community of San Martin de Amacayacu is surrounded by majestic rivers and impressive rainforest, and is one of your best opportunities to visit a truly remote settlement in the Amazon Basin. Rates include full board, rubber boots, rain gear, drinking water and all activities, workshops and river trips.

With just two double rooms in the main house and a separate cabin that sleeps five, Casa Gregorio is fully integrated into the community rather than feeling enclosed or apart. Prices range from COP$180,000 to COP$280,000 per person per day, depending on activities and the number of travelers (maximum four per group). You'll need to book ahead to stay here, as you have to be picked up by the Casa Gregorio staff on arrival at the Bocana Amacayacu dock on the Amazon (COP$30,000 per person).
