Accommodations in Macedonia

The location is just pretty nice, right in front of the Amazonas River

Este viaje superó mis expectativas. Desde la llegada, el trato de las personas, el servicio, la comida, los detalles, el ambiente, el lugar, fue el viaje de mis sueños. No es el típico viaje donde vas a un hotel a descansar. Es el viaje donde llenas tu vida, conectas contigo, conoces las raíces del amazonas, tomas un respiro del caos de la ciudad, conoces diferentes culturas, fauna, flora, haces actividades nunca antes vistas. La verdad muy agradecida con cada una de las personas que te ayudan a lograr este viaje

I loved this rustic camp in the rainforest, a modest but lovingly built family eco-tourism venture run by Jhon and his family. If you are looking for a truly off-grid experience, this is it. There is no electricity, and at night the candles flickering in open-air cooking and dining space, something like a traditional Maloka, are absolutely magical. Jhon's mother prepared me simple delicious food and freshly ground 100% cacao produced on the property, an overgrown cacao plantation. This place is completely surrounded by the sounds of the forest: it's about a 45 minute walk from the tiny village of Mocagua, including a short river crossing of the Quebrada Matamatá by dugout canoe. It can be muddy; the family provided me with rubber boots to use while I was there. A great place to completely unplug.

Amazing views, helpful and kind staff who assisted with wonderful activities for me and my son. Enjoyed sharing meals with other travelers

We had an excellent time staying with German, Sara and Calet. The location is great, as it allows you to explore the Amazon (both the river and the jungle) with the tours offered with ease. Before we arrived Calet was very helpful by providing us information about the tours possible and advising us on what we need to bring. Botas impermeables were provided, meaning we did not have to pack and bring them ourselves. The property is very clean and comfortable, and there is electricity and Wi-Fi at the property from about mid morning to 12pm. Sara cooked delicious local food for us for all three meals which were excellent value for money. There was a lot of flexibility with the activities we wanted to do, and we were able to do everything we wanted, including seeing the pink dolphins. It was also nice to stay somewhere where it is clear your money is going directly to support both a family, and the surrounding community. We had an amazing time staying here and would recommend it to anyone.

Amazing place, people, and food

Juan and his family made us feel very welcome in Macedonia. We were immersed in the Ticuna culture and did many fun activities at an affordable cost such as hiking to a Ceiba tree, learning about native plants, canoeing across the Amazon River, and fishing for piranha. The meals were amazing too! We can't wait to come back.

It's an amazing community set in beautiful nature with an experience of how modernization goes along with the local communities. Gustavo received me with much excitement and showed me around places, took me on a hike in the jungle, taught me many things and his hospitality is just 10/10! This place is not for every tourist, but for travelers seeking an authentic experience of the Amazonas and it's people over comfort in one of the most amazing and beautiful natural setting. Some tips to make your experience better - 1. Bring your own water. Resources are hard to get to the community and it's good to respect that. 2. Be ready to adjust around a few things depending on the situation - eg: no electricity at night, makeshift showers etc. Treat the whole stay as an experience rather than a stay and these things become secondary. 3. If you just sit by the river for a while (with your repellent on of course) - you'll see a lot of dolphins! 4. As with any other nature place, always check your shoes, bed, toilet seat etc before using :) 5. Ask Gustavo for your own custom tours and experiences around and he'll happily make it happen at a great price, with his more than 15 years of experience as a guide!
