Mundo Amazónico
Parque Ecológico Mundo Amazónico
A rainforest botanical garden and eco-education park on the city outskirts, where you can learn about Amazonian medicinal plants, fish and Indigenous knowledge.
The Mundo Amazónico Ecological Park lies about 8 km north of Leticia, beside the road. Covering roughly 30 hectares, it combines a botanical garden, an aquarium and Indigenous culture into one educational park. Following a guide along rainforest trails, you'll learn about hundreds of Amazonian plants, including medicinal and edible species. You can also see freshwater fish ponds with arapaimas, an ethnobotanical garden and a traditional Indigenous longhouse. It suits visitors who don't plan to venture deep into the rainforest, or who are travelling with children. Visits must be guided. Admission is about 40,000–60,000 pesos, and the park is closed on Mondays.
Opening hours
Tuesday–Sunday about 8:00 am–3:00 pm (guided visits)
