About Leticia

Leticia is a town on the Amazon River at Colombia's southern tip, reachable only by air or water, with the Brazilian and Peruvian borders close by.

Leticia is the capital of the Amazonas department, on the north bank of the Amazon River where Colombia, Brazil and Peru meet. No road links it to the rest of Colombia, so people arrive by plane or by boat. It runs straight into the Brazilian town of Tabatinga, with no obvious boundary in the streets, and a short boat ride crosses the river to Peru.
