Key Facts

Puerto Nariño is a municipality located in the Amazonas Department of southeastern Colombia, situated on the banks of the Loretoyacu River near its confluence with the Amazon River. This remote settlement lies approximately 87 kilometers (54 miles) upriver from Leticia, the departmental capital, and is positioned close to Colombia's borders with both Peru and Brazil. With an area of approximately 1,876 square kilometers, Puerto Nariño serves as the second-largest urban center in Amazonas Department after Leticia, though it maintains a relatively small population of around 12,000 residents, primarily composed of indigenous communities including Ticuna, Yagua, and Cocama peoples. The municipality is divided into several distinct barrios or neighborhoods that reflect its organized urban planning and community structure. Known as Colombia's first 'eco-municipality,' Puerto Nariño has gained recognition for its environmental conservation efforts and sustainable development practices, including restrictions on motorized vehicles and a strong emphasis on waste management and ecological preservation. The town serves as an important gateway to the surrounding Amazon rainforest and protected natural areas, making it a significant destination for ecotourism and scientific research.
