The Ama Magdalena is a 70-metre-long river expedition vessel specially built for navigating the Magdalena River. It has 30 generously sized cabins, evenly distributed on the first and second decks and accommodating a maximum of 60 passengers. Each cabin has twin beds (that can be converted into a double bed), air conditioning, outward-facing panoramic windows with a French balcony, as well as an outside balcony and sitting area. A restaurant on the middle deck serves international and regionally inspired cuisine (wine, beer, and soft drinks are included during lunch and dinner) and the sun deck has a lounge, bar, and small pool. Other facilities include a gym, massage room and a nail and hair salon.

What our clients say

  • Zip lining and trek in Iquaque, Cartagena.

    OKNS, Sep 2017
  • The whole trip was really enjoyable, the amount of wildlife (turtles, crocodiles, armadillo, anteater, monkeys etc etc!) and scenery we saw met all expectations. All well organised and minor problems…

    HT, Cardiff Aug 2019
  • Our two weeks in Colombia were extraordinarily stimulating on every level, from the warmth and friendliness of the Colombian people to the fertility of the countryside and its fascinating geology…

    JM, London May 2014
  • Very hard to say which was the most memorable: flour and shaving cream fights in San Agustin on New Year's Eve; stunning views of the Magdalena, both in the South…

    WR, London Jan 2017
  • It was a superb trip, I don’t think our feedback really conveyed how much we enjoyed Colombia particularly. It really exceeded our expectations. Los Llanos was super superb.

    SM, Helensburgh Jul 2019
  • Highlights?: I cannot really think of anything that wasn't memorable. Perhaps my overriding memory is of the friendliness and helpfulness of the ordinary Colombians I encountered.
