OVERVIEW

Leticia is a small town in southern Colombia, positioned on the Amazon River where three national borders meet. Markets, residential streets and boat terminals form the urban centre. Across the wider area, forest remains closely connected with markets, rather than forming an isolated visitor zone. The transition between markets and wildlife habitats is visible across the destination, especially away from its best known centre.

River journeys provide access to wildlife, communities and forest lodges. The town itself is practical and humid, while responsible operator choice matters greatly. Heat, rain and river levels strongly influence every excursion. Residential districts draws most attention, but wildlife habitats contributes equally to the destination’s character and daily life. A visit centred only on wildlife habitats would overlook forest, where the wider landscape and local activity remain visible.
