TIWA (Toomomɨna-Iyaɨma-Wa’pejena: Defensores de los Saberes Tradicionales) is an Indigenous Community accessible by public transportation. They offer their communal gathering space (maloca) as a place where interested people can lodge and participate in their nightly dialogues (mambeadero), particularly in issues related to traditional health.

The community is located 6 km from Leticia and gathers families from 9 different ethnic groups: Murui, Yucuna, Cocama, Tanimuca, Bora, Miraña, Cubeo and Inga, and also share with the Magüta (Tikuna) People.
