For such a small village, Puerto Nariño has an amazing amount of things to do and see. It is a good base for getting to know the jungle and indigenous villages—and more economical than Leticia. In the hamlet are several museums to teach you about the human and natural history of the Amazon. There are senderos (paths) to learn about the medicinal and agricultural uses of the jungle and miradores (lookout towers) from which to watch the rivers flow. Near-by are indigenous villages you can visit. The biggest attraction, however, is Lago Tarapoto where you can observe pink dolphins and the majestic Victoria Regia water lily. Don’t forget that just a half-hour downriver is Parque Nacional Natural Amacayacu.
