Where to stay in Puerto Nariño? You won’t find luxury accommodations with air conditioning and high-speed Internet in Puerto Nariño, but there are a number of simple but comfortable hotels and hostels.
The location
You can choose between accommodation in the village, or accommodation within walking distance -or short boat trip- from the village.

Tours and activities
The owners of the accommodations, generally have a good knowledge of the nature and culture of Puerto Nariño and sometimes act as guides themselves for tours and activities. If they do not provide tours themselves, they have contacts with people who do.
In this guide you will find everything you need to know to stay in Puerto Nariño, our tips for staying in the village or just in the middle of nature. And our bonus tips if you prefer to stay outside the village with a local Indian community, for a very authentic experience.

For wildlife
Cabañas Alto del Aguila
Highly recommended if you like to stay in nature, among all kinds of wildlife. For example, there are parrots here and 4 different species of monkeys, which are used to people. The cabañas are basic and prices start at 20 dollars per night. The Cabañas Alto del Aguila are a 20-minute walk from Puerto Nariño, a 5-minute boat ride away. Through the owners, you can book tours and borrow a kayak to cruise the river during sunset or spot dolphins. This is one of the few hostels with wifi (in the common area)
Tip #2 For chilling in the pool after a jungle trip
Eware Refugio Amazónico
One of the few hotels with a pool to relax after an active day in the Amazon.From Eware Refugio Amazónico, you can hike through the jungle to the village and spot monkeys and parrots along the way.
Tip #3
For a comfortable hotel in a central location
Waira Selva hotel is near the boarding point for the boat to Leticia. From the terrace there is a nice view of the river.

For an authentic experience at an Indian community
Further out of the village, you can also stay overnight at an Indian community, such as la Ceiba in Mocagua and San Martín de Amacayacu. Here you can learn all about the culture and traditions of the indigenous community, with the residents themselves acting as guides for the various activities and excursions.
