Maloka Napu is a unique retreat located in Puerto Nariño, the “Natural Manger of Colombia,” a magical, car-free destination where the lush jungle intertwines with indigenous culture. Our name comes from the Tikuna language and means “house on a sacred hill or mound,” the place where, according to legend, the gods gave birth to mythical beings and imparted knowledge of the three worlds: the spiritual, the earthly, and the underworld.
We offer an authentic, fully immersive experience in the Amazon, with spaces inspired by traditional worldviews that allow you to connect with the ancestral wisdom of local communities. Every detail is designed with the traveler’s well-being in mind and with absolute respect for the land, enabling you to discover the essence of the jungle and its vast biodiversity.
