Your Well-being
Our Priority
Exploring the Amazon is an incredible adventure. We provide the guidance and infrastructure to ensure your trip is as safe as it is unforgettable.
Vaccines & Health
The Yellow Fever vaccine is highly recommended and should be administered at least 10 days before arrival. While Leticia is not a high-risk malaria area, using repellent is the best prevention for any mosquito-borne illness.
Jungle Safety
Our cabins at Km 18 are located in a peaceful sector. For any trek, you will always be accompanied by a local guide who knows the terrain, the wildlife, and the safest paths through the reserve.
Water & Food
At Îkü, we prioritize hygiene. We provide treated or bottled water for drinking. We recommend guests avoid drinking tap water in the city of Leticia to prevent stomach issues.
Personal Security
Leticia is one of the safest cities in Colombia. The Triple Frontier (Brazil, Colombia, Peru) is a peaceful area where locals and tourists move freely. Our reserve is a private, secure sanctuary.
Emergency Note: Always carry your ID and insurance information. Leticia is safe, but being prepared for the jungle environment is key to a stress-free experience.
