During our trip to the Colombian Amazon, we stayed at Casa Gregorio<\/strong>. A hotel located in the remote indigenous village of San Martin de Amacayacu<\/strong>, within the Tikuna community<\/strong> in the middle of the rainforest<\/strong>. An unforgettable adventure<\/strong>, where we learned about the culture and way of life of the Tikuna and from where we discovered the Amazon in Colombia. A perfect place to experience life in the Amazon<\/strong> for a few days. In this article you will read all about the indigenous community of Tikuna, why Casa Gregorio is such a special place to stay, how to arrange your trip, what the costs are and much more.<\/p>\n

Casa Gregorio | A native Amazon fairy tale<\/h2>\n
\n

There was once a Dutch biologist, Heike, who ended up in the indigenous community of Tikuna, 17 years ago, for her scientific research. In the middle of the Colombian Amazon rainforest<\/strong><\/a>. She fell in love with Jose, a boy from the Tikuna tribe. The love turned out to be mutual. Now they have lived happily together for a long time in San Martin de Amacayacu.<\/p>\n

The end of the world<\/h3>\n

When we finally arrived in the village after a long journey, I seriously wondered why Floortje Dessing has not been here yet for the program “Floortje to the end of the world”. Heike has lived in the Amazon for about 15 years.<\/strong> Admirable I think. Now, of course, I live in Colombia myself, but Sop\u00f3<\/strong><\/a> and Bogot\u00e1 are quite different from a village in the middle of the jungle<\/strong>. Just doing some shopping is out of the question from San Martin de Amacayacu. Not to mention the electricity, what is only available between 5PM and 10PM. And then Internet, what is practically absent. Lovely to be in such a beautiful place for 5 days, away from the busy world.<\/p>\n

A hotel in the middle of the Amazon<\/h3>\n

Casa Gregorio is a hotel deep in the Colombian Amazon. For adventurous travelers<\/strong>, people who want to stay close to nature, and those who want to discover the real Colombia. If you like that thought, this is your place. Jose and Heike are not only a beautiful couple, but also incredibly nice people who want to pass on to you the culture and way of life of the Tikuna tribe, and the beauty of the Amazon. An extraordinary experience<\/strong> I can tell you, so far from life as we know it.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
