Location

20 minutes away by car from Mocoa city center, located in the Kamëntšá indigenous reserve

Mocoa is the capital of the Putumayo region in southern Colombia, nestled between the Andes Mountains and the Amazon Rainforest. Known for its lush landscapes, powerful rivers, waterfalls, and rich biodiversity, it is a place where nature feels alive and deeply restorative.

Mocoa is home to several Indigenous communities and serves as a cultural and spiritual bridge between mountain and jungle traditions. Its vibrant natural energy makes it an ideal setting for healing, introspection, and reconnection with nature.
