After our tour was over, we returned to the relative civilization of Leticia, and the following day, ventured just outside the town to visit a traditional indigenous village. These villages are now more individual family dwellings than villages, (especially the ones closer to major urban centres like Leticia) inhabited by those who choose to carry on the old ways, deeper in the jungle you will find actual villages with the more extreme traditional living, complete with more hostile residents who want nothing to to do with the developed world. Macuna and his wife were not these type of people, more on him in a minute.

Amazonian Adventura Part 1: Trekking the World's Longest River and Largest Jungle - Family Style!2/1/2018 When we first knew we were moving to Colombia I must confess I knew little about the place beyond cocaine, cartels, coffee, and Cartagena. The latter I knew only as a port you could sack in the Amiga 500 classic Pirates! It remains one of the places I would most like to see in Colombia. The Amazon frankly did not factor on our places to visit list while in Colombia, assuming we would one day get there instead while visiting Brazil. The Amazon is a big place though, the largest tropical rainforest in the world, and in fact exists in Colombia in the southernmost department: Amazonas. Once learning this it immediately became travel destination numero uno.
