Dress in comfortable clothes that you can wear during the tours, because you must bear in mind that in several of them are made long walks in the middle of the jungle. We recommend the use of long sleeve shirt and long pants to avoid insect bites. Avoid the use of leggings, as they do not provide as much protection in the jungle. Finally, in terms of clothing, avoid the use of black, since it can attract mosquitoes.

Uncover Colombia

Leticia: Colombia’s Gateway to the Amazon Rainforest

April 9, 2020, 4:44 pm

Last month I jumped at the chance to travel to the southernmost tip of Colombia and explore Colombian Amazonia . It was such a spur of the moment trip that there was little time to book any tour or hotels.

For an Amazon tour , I lacked a lot of the right gear – but most of the time that's the way I choose to travel and get to know a place. As long as you have the basics, you can almost always find everything you need once you get there. Pulling out a map, the first thing that struck me was Colombia's sheer size and how far I had to travel to get to Colombia's southern point. The area I was heading to on the world's mightiest river even resembled a fishtail on the map. On the two-hour internal flight from Bogota I was to fly further south than Quito in Ecuador and would arrive at the remote outpost only a stone's throw from Brazil and Peru. Completely inaccessible by road, my destination was Colombia's jungle town of Leticia nestled on the banks of the Amazon River.

The in-flight magazine happened to feature an article on my destination. I was interested to learn that Leticia, the capital of the department of Amazonas , is one of the major ports on the Amazon River and Colombia's gateway into the Amazon rainforest. The city has a population of 33,000 and borders the Brazilian town of Tabatinga and Peru's Santa Rosa, which lies across the water. Records suggest that Leticia was the name given to the settlement by an engineer named Manuel Charón back in 1867 when the area was part of Peru. Charón succumbed to the elixirs of love of Leticia Smith, a beautiful lady from Iquitos, and to perpetuate her memory, he named the small Amazon jungle port. A swathe of land north of the Putomayo River and the town of Leticia were claimed by Peru in 1932 and after a short-lived conflict the League of Nations awarded Colombia the disputed land in 1933. Leticia is known as one of the safest places to visit in the country due to a large military base in the border town.

After touching down at the tiny airport, I paid my COP$20,000 tourist tax and took a city map from the tourist information desk while I waited for my bag. It was still early enough in the day that the sun hadn't quite burnt through the clouds but I could instantly feel the jungle heat and the soupy humidity in the air.

leticia colombia amazonas tours

The first thing on my mind after walking the 30 minutes into town was to find some lunch. A few local people pointed me in the direction of Tierras Amazonicas restaurant in the centre of town. A mix of tribal masks, Amazon landscape paintings and antiqued maps met me inside - and the food on the menu was equally diverse. There were plates on offer from Colombia, Brazil and Peru and I can highly recommend the local fish soup with a side order of patacones. The Brazilian recipe of fish moqueca was very good but the dish I will remember most was unquestionably the Peruvian speciality of mixed ceviche. They also offered some delicious juices made from fresh Amazon fruits such as the delicious camu-camu and copoazú. Tierras Amazonicas was also a great place to hang out for a few beers and to meet other travellers.

There weren't many taxi cars around town as the most popular mode of transport was the motorbike – they were everywhere. I enquired at a shop and found that the cost to hire a motorbike for 24 hours was only COP$50,000 with no deposit required – some good information for later during my trip. For now, I hailed a tuk-tuk that could fit my bags and headed the eleven kilometres out of town to a hostel that had been recommended by some travellers.

Omshanty is a jungle retreat that welcomes you with beautiful gardens filled with exotic plants and lush trees. Raised wooden walkways lead to rustic cabañas that can be rented as private rooms or as dormitories. Kike, the owner who originally hails from Madrid is a great source of information for any tour into the Colombian Amazon rainforest . There are some short nature trails around the grounds of Omshanty and I managed to spot some vividly coloured poison arrow dart frogs and a couple of huge plate-sized tarantulas close to the path! The jungle flora and fauna is definitely not for the faint hearted as trails are muddy, there are lots of flying insects and you are entering mosquito territory. The combination of constantly damp clothing, frequently reapplied bug repellent and intense jungle downpours is to be expected but certainly isn't for everyone – however if you are looking to find out, then Omshanty is a very good introduction to any jungle experience.

leticia colombia amazonas tours

In the late afternoon I pre-ordered dinner from a Ticuna family that lived across the road from Omshanty. They suggested I go for a walk to a swimming spot located 4 kilometres away along a paved side road while they cooked dinner. The walk itself was interesting as I passed by farmland and indigenous Ticuna people going about their daily routines at home. At the end of the road was a flooded forest where darkly stained, tea-coloured water gently flowed amongst tree trunks. It was a serene setting and the perfect opportunity for a swim to cool off. On the way back to the main road I got caught in an intense jungle rainstorm and needed a change of clothes before I went for dinner. To my surprise there was an armadillo on the BBQ that had been caught and killed by a Ticuna huntsman. As there wasn't much else on the menu I was given rice, yucca, salad and a portion of armadillo for dinner, all washed down with a few cold beers. The armadillo tasted a lot like turkey! That night, safely tucked in under my mosquito net, I slept soundly through the night-time noises of the rainforest.

The next day, I packed up my belongings and took the local bus into Leticia. I went straight down to the Malecon where boats come and go for different destinations up and down the Amazon. The place was bustling, a hectic little marketplace full of hawkers, money exchangers, tuk-tuk taxis and an array of wooden motorboats and dug out canoes. I found everyone I met to be extremely friendly and a lot more relaxed than in the big cities. I had prepared myself a shopping list of extra items I would need for a short expedition up the Amazon. I managed to acquire rubber boots, flashlight, hammock, mosquito net and a sturdy poncho in one swoop, all at a fraction of the cost if I had bought them in Bogota.

After a breakfast of fresh papaya, huevos rancheros, strong coffee and a copoazú juice near the beautiful Parque Santander , I made my way down to the port. I was ready to catch a boat 3 hours upriver where I was to meet my guide for a 4-day jungle adventure in search of wildlife, deeper into the Amazon rainforest.

How to Plan the Best Amazon Tours in the Colombian Amazonas: Leticia & Puerto Narino

If you’re planning to explore the Colombian Amazonas, base yourself in Leticia and Puerto Narino for the best Amazon tours. Organize your Amazon adventures at the spot with local guides to help the local economy and support the indigenous tribes of the Amazon. Added bonus: you’ll get the most authentic Amazon experience!

Independent Amazon Tour is Cheaper and More Fun!

We prefer to venture off-the-beaten-path and plan our tours independently: Colombian Amazon was no exception. Follow our steps: fly in the border town Leticia in the Colombian Amazon and take a public ferry with locals to a tiny Amazonian ecovillage called Puerto Narino. From there, it’s easy to organize all kind of Amazon tours directly with local guides.

You’ll score both much cheaper Amazon tours and more authentic experience by staying in an indigenous village instead of a jungle resort. In Puerto Narino, you can stay in a nice hotel but at the same time make friends with indigenous people in the riverfront and small village restaurants!

Why are the Amazon Tours in Colombia Better Than Amazon Tours in Brazil and Peru?

Brazilian and Peruvian Amazon suffers from mass tourism, while Colombian Amazonas remains much more authentic.

Why? If you’re on a vacation in Colombia, it’s much harder and also slightly more expensive to get to the Amazon than from Brazil or Peru. Whereas you can take a ferry from Manaus (Brazil) or Iquitos (Peru) to the Amazon, you need to fly through Bogota to Leticia from all Colombian destinations. So, adding Amazon tours to itinerary in Colombia is not as popular as in Brazil and Peru.

Can You Do Colombian Amazon Tours From Brazil or Peru?

Want to hear a secret? Surprisingly, if you’re on holiday in Brazil or Peru and want to tour the less-crowded Amazon behind the Colombian border, it’s super easy! The border towns of all three countries (Colombia, Peru, Brazil) are clustered together in an area called Tres Fronteras (Spanish for Three Frontiers). This means that you can easily walk from country to another – just like walking through suburbs.

How to Do Amazon Day Tours From Colombia to Brazil and Peru

It doesn’t really matter in which country you start your Amazon adventure, as crossing borders is easy. You can even do Amazon day trips in certain areas without any border formalities, visas or passport stamps (from Colombian side all the way to Brazilian town called Benjamin Constant, generally within 80 km radius from Leticia).

TIP: If you’re doing a multi-day Amazon tour, remember to get your exit stamp to avoid borders problems. Check also whether you need a visa to enter Brazil (some nationalities need it; not for a day tour in Tabatinga but for longer stays).

How Big is the Colombian Amazon a.k.a. the Amazonas?

The area surrounding the Amazon River and its tributaries in Colombia is called the Amazonas. It’s located in the southernmost department of Colombia, called Amazonia. With more than 400 000 square kilometers, Amazonia is the largest department of Colombia, covering a third of the whole country.

More than 100 000 square kilometers of the Amazonia is protected as forest reserves and national parks. The Colombian side of the Amazon has four national parks: Amacayacu, Cahuinari, Rio Puree, and Yagoje Apapori.

The Amazon proper forms the border between Colombia and Peru. Amazon also has many major tributaries in Colombia, which offer less-crowded day and overnight trips for than the Amazon proper.

Planning Amazon Tours: Step-By-Step Guide to the Colombian Amazonas

First, check out the flight schedule to the Amazon. If you’re staying in Colombia before your Amazon adventure, check the flights between Bogota and the only Colombian town with an airport in the Amazon, Leticia. If you’re coming from Brasil, check the flights or ferries into Tabatinga, the Brasilian counterpart of Leticia. From Peru, you should take a ferry from Iquitos to Isla Santa Rosa. If you’re coming from Colombia, flying in Leticia is the only option to get to the Amazonas.

How Many Days You Need in Leticia

Plan on spending at least two nights in Leticia before taking multiday Amazon tour, and preferably one day after your Amazon adventure. That way you can leave your heavy luggage to your hotel or hostel and take just a day backpack to the jungle trip. Many hotels also lend rubber boots so that you don’t need to buy or carry your own.

Beware Fake Amazon Tours in Leticia

One tip and word of warning for booking Amazon tours in Leticia: streets are full of opportunistic “guides” selling false tours. If you decide to skip Puerto Narino and make Leticia your base in the Amazon, we recommend booking the day trips through your accommodation or at least getting their approval for your chosen tour company or guide.

Take enough time to find an ethical, environmentally friendly, and safe tour operator. We can recommend booking Amazon day tours through the charming Amazon B&B Hotel , where we stayed.

Why We Chose Independent Amazon Trip to Puerto Narino

After chatting with several tour companies, checking their backgrounds and reviews from TripAdvisor, we decided to take an independent ferry trip to Puerto Narino and take Amazon day tours while staying in Puerto Narino. It’s a way cheaper option to explore the rainforest than Amazon tour packages and gives you the freedom to choose your guides in person.

We also found out that there were more than a handful of shady players doing tours in Colombian, Brazilian, and Peruvian Amazon, including guides who mistreat animals for the sake of a show for the tourists. Also, many jungle lodges seemed a rip off in terms of price and quality. Most rainforest lodges within one-day boat trip from Leticia (or Tabatinga or Isla Santa Rosa) are extremely basic and in a pretty rundown condition.

Book a fishing tour with the local fishermen in Puerto Narino, Colombia

Organize Amazon Tours from Leticia  

It’s easy to arrange Amazon hikes and boat trips at the spot in Leticia, and the town has some quirky sights to keep you entertained. To get orientated, stay at least a couple of nights in Leticia eating your way through the Amazonian cuisine and taking day tours to the Amazon.

From Leticia, you can visit nearby natural reserves either on day trips or multi-day rainforest expeditions. You can also go kayaking or birding, and visit indigenous communities. Check out our article about all the fun things to do in Leticia – including different day trips to the surrounding Amazon! You might end up staying longer than you planned!

Book Your Independent Amazon Tours in Puerto Narino

I should add an exclamation mark in the title: we highly recommend that you book Amazon tours directly with local fishermen in Puerto Narino. We contacted several tour companies while planning our Amazonas adventures, but all of them fell short somehow – and the others hooked you up with the same local fishermen.

When you settle the price straight with the locals, it’s cheaper for you and the money goes straight to the pockets of your guide. All our indigenous guides were amazing: although they spoke Spanish and maybe a couple of words English, we understood each other well enough.

Best Tours in Colombian Amazon (From Leticia & Puerto Narino)  

We’ll list below examples of the most exciting tours in the Colombian Amazon to give you inspiration. Check out our things to do in Leticia article for full details!

Best Amazon Tours From Manaus, Brazil

I know, I’ve been hyping the Amazon tours from the Colombian side during the whole article. If your journey takes you to Manaus, you can, of course, book interesting Amazon tours starting from Manaus. The key for Brazilian Amazon tours is to have enough time to get out of the beaten path.

If you’re lucky to have one week for the Amazon tours and would like to sleep in a hammock learning some valuable jungle skills, consider this 6-Day Amazon Jungle Survival Experience starting and ending in Manaus. This tour ventures deep in the rainforest, unlike many others, showing you the real treats of the Amazon.

If you have 2 to 4 days for the Amazon tour from Manaus, check out these affordable tour packages in Anaconda Lodge , which take you off the beaten path but offer basic facilities in the jungle.

If you’re looking for an Amazon day tour from Manaus, check out this boat tour .

How to Choose Ethical Amazon Tours  

Unfortunately, many Amazon tours include unethical animal interactions, for example capturing alligators or caimans for the fun of tourists. Please read the tour description online before booking or ask enough questions from the tour company to make sure that the guides won’t harass wildlife.

What to Pack for Amazon Tours & What to Wear

Here’s a list of essentials for your Amazonas adventure:

  • lightweight clothes for the hot and sticky weather: preferably t-shirts, tops, shorts/skirt, and long-sleeve shirts and convertibles or lightweight long pants for covering up for bugs, snakes, and other creatures
  • waterproof hiking shoes or even rubber boots (you can find the latter in Leticia: the jungle is muddy)
  • raincoat or another kind of rain cover, we also had waterproof pants
  • long socks (for avoiding bugs and leeches)
  • bug repellent (you can find it in Leticia)
  • day backpack for day trips and hikes

Where to Stay in Leticia, Colombia

We loved our stay in Amazon B&B , which is constantly listed as the best hotel in Leticia. Their rooms offer affordable yet chic accommodation. Bungalows with own verandas and hammocks are the most luxurious option. Breakfast is great, and the leafy garden soothes your senses in the middle of this mildly chaotic jungle town of Leticia.

Where to Stay in Puerto Narino, Colombia

We stayed in lovely Wayra Selva , which was recommended for us by our Colombian friends. It’s hands down the best hotel in town and still super affordable. We loved the view from our own little terrace. The room was clean and location excellent.

Wayra Selva is the best hotel in Puerto Narino, Colombian Amazonas

Where to Eat in Leticia & Puerto Narino

Eating out is also an exciting activity in the Amazon! In Leticia, we loved to dine at El Santo Angel ’s terrace in the center, sampling casabes (local pizzas) and fresh fish. Tierras Amazonicas has rave reviews, but for us, El Santo Angel was the clear winner.

Restaurants in Puerto Narino are traditional and modest, but food can still be delicious. Try Las Margaritas by the football field (it’s where most tourists go) and the grill restaurant by the riverfront: we preferred eating with the locals in the latter. Also, the street food stalls in Puerto Narino offer tasty snacks.  

How to Get to Leticia & Puerto Narino, Colombia

If you’re coming from the rest of Colombia, the only way to get to Leticia, the capital of the Colombian Amazon, is by plane. Check our tips for finding cheap internal flights in Colombia .

All Amazon tours include boat transfers from Leticia. If you’re planning an independent Amazon tour and visiting Puerto Narino ecovillage, take a public boat from Leticia to Puerto Narino (2 hours). Book your tickets the day before to secure seats.

Explore Colombia’s Amazon – Travel Guide to Leticia, Colombia

  • Post author: Adam McConnaughhay
  • Post published: August 11, 2019

The Amazon isn’t just in Brazil.  The lesser known town of Leticia, Colombia lies along the Amazon river where the borders of Colombia, Brazil, and Peru meet.  Easily accessible by flight from inside Colombia, Leticia makes for a great place to see the natural wonders of the Amazon river and rainforest, and you can easily access Brazil and Peru.  Read on for a complete travel guide to Leticia, Colombia, including why you should visit, how to get there, what to do, and where to stay in Leticia, along with travel tips and a packing list.

Why You Should Visit Leticia

There’s something special about the allure of visiting the Amazon.

Truly one of mother Earth’s natural wonders, the river and the rainforest call to our wild and adventurous side.   A visit is something to be crossed off your travel goals, life goals, bucket, or whatever you want to call it list and definitely counts amongst the places you should visit once in a lifetime .

If you have children, what better way to give them an appreciation for the wonders of nature as well as have them explore a place not everyone goes. They (and you!) might also love to know these amazing Amazon Rainforest facts . For example, did you know some scientists believe the forest may date to over 50 million years ago, while others believe it may have been formed as recently as 2,000 years ago?

We have been to Leticia twice.  Susana and I went in July 2016 and we returned recently in July 2019 with my mom, who wanted to go for all the reasons listed above.  We really enjoyed it both times!

While your first thought of visiting the Amazon probably leads you to Brazil, Leticia is also a wonderful option.  Sporting less crowds and a little less tourist development, it offers a bit more of an authentic experience than the more popular destinations in Brazil.   Also, although Leticia itself is not deep in the forest, you can use it as a starting point to tour deeper , where deforestation has taken less of a toll than farther down the river in Brazil.

Even if you don’t choose to rough it and go on a trek deep into the forest, Leticia makes for a great place to visit and offers the opportunity of experiencing the natural wonder of the Amazon River and rainforest.  If you do decide to visit Leticia, read on.  I n this travel guide to Leticia, you will learn how to get there, what to do, where to stay, travel tips, and a packing list for Leticia, Colombia.

How to Get to Leticia

Leticia is isolated from the rest of Colombia, sitting at the very edge of the borders with Brazil and Peru.   In fact, in the early 1930s, the area’s populace, feeling disconnected from the rest of the country, actually defected to Peru, setting off a short conflict between the two countries.  While it remains part of Colombia today, there is still no road through the jungle to Leticia.  To reach it, you have to fly from Bogotá or take a boat from Peru or Brazil.

Flights to Leticia

The Colombian airlines LATAM and Avianca both offer daily flights to Leticia out of Bogotá.   While you’ll have to check your dates, flights are usually very reasonably priced.

You can also check flights to Leticia and book direct with Avianca here or LATAM here .

Boats to Leticia

We flew in and out of Leticia both times we have gone, so I don’t have a lot of specific info on the boats, but it is possible to arrive via boat.

You can take a boat down the river from Iquitos in Peru to Santa Rosa, just across the river from Leticia, or up the river from Manaus in Brazil to Tabitinga , the town just across the land border from Leticia.

You could also do a flight one way and a boat one way if you’re planning a longer trip that takes you through more than one country.

What to Do in Leticia, Colombia

The main attraction here, and the can’t miss activity in Leticia is a cruise on the mighty Amazon River, but there are many other activities you can check out as well.

Amazon River Tour

Both times we’ve gone, we did an all day river tour .  The tour makes several interesting stops along the way.   Below, I’ll give you a quick run down on what you can expect on the Leticia Amazon River tour.

Stop 1:  Isla de los Micos (Monkey Island)

Collage of photos showing people with monkeys climbing on them at Isla de los Micos, one of the best things to do in Leticia.

Isla de los Micos was the highlight of our Leticia Amazon River tour .  It is a bit of a curious place .  Basically, some monkeys got together and took over this island and now require that all humans that pass by on the river pay a toll of bananas.

Ok that’s not what happened, but there are lots of little monkeys on this island.  When you go in, they will give you some bananas.  Then watch out!  The little monkeys will swarm you trying to get to the bananas!

It really is a riot.   The monkeys more or less consider people trees and  will be climbing up your legs, over your shoulders, arms, head and even jumping from one person to the next.  Do be careful holding the bananas too tight in your hand, as a monkey might even nibble on your fingers a bit trying to get at them.

Isla de los Micos will undoubtedly give you some laughs and let you get some great pictures with monkeys crawling all over you, making it one of the best things to do in Leticia, Colombia.

Stop 2:  Indigenous Village Macedonia

The next stop a bit further upriver was the small indigenous village of Macedonia.   There are a number of small communities along the river, all established within the last 50 years and containing a mix of the descendants of different ethnic groups.  Macedonia is the largest.

The inhabitants will tell you a bit about their culture, perform a traditional dance, and you will have the opportunity to buy some cool artisan crafts.

It is a bit stereotypically touristy.  However, it’s worth keeping in mind that these small communities are extremely isolated and largely neglected by the national government.  Therefore, your small tips for taking pictures with them and buying their crafts are helpful.  We got a few beautiful wooden kitchen things as well as cool magnets made from fish scales.  The crafts make great souvenirs and gifts for friends and family.

Stop 3:  Puerto Nariño

View of the town of Puerto Nariño with the Amazon River beyond from atop the observation tower.

Around midday, you will arrive to the town of Puerto Nariño, a small, but well developed and pretty little town on the Colombian side of the river.   You’ll be able to have lunch in the restaurant at the center of town (our lunch was included, but you should double check that with your tour).

After lunch, you will have a bit of time to explore.   The town is really pretty and there are no motor vehicles aloud, so it’s great to walk around.

It’s a bit of a hike up the hill, but at the top of town, there’s a great observation tower you can climb up and get a great view out over the river.  The 5,000 pesos entry fee is well worth the incredible view.  There was also a guide there who gave a short talk on the river, the wildlife, and the community.

Stop 4:  Pink River Dolphin Watching

After the stop at Puerto Nariño, you will visit the Lagos de Tarapoto .  The lakes are a protected wildlife sanctuary.

On the lake and on your way back down the river, keep an eye out for the Amazon pink river dolphins.   We didn’t have the best luck since the water level was down, and only got a few quick glances.  Hopefully, you’ll have better luck, as they are really pretty.

Stop 5:  Reserva Victoria Regia

A few giant, floating leaves and one flower of the Victoria Regalia water lily, one of the things to see in Leticia.

At this final stop on the tour, you will get to see giant water lilies.   Originally named the Victoria Regia, for Queen Victoria, the Victoria Amazonica is the largest water lily in the world .  At the Reserva Victoria Regia, there are boardwalks where you can see the giant floating leaves and some of the blooming lilies.

After that, you should head back to Leticia, arriving late in the afternoon.

Arranging the Leticia River Tour

Lots of these tours run out of Leticia everyday, and any hotel you stay in should be able to help you arrange it.  Any tour operator will as well.  We got Expeditions George of the Jungle to help us arrange it on our most recent trip.

Watch the Birds Feed and Explore the Central Plaza

Around sunset each day, flocks of birds fly into Leticia to feed.  There are absolute swarms of them, and the sound of them all is crazy.   It’s a really neat sight, and one of the most interesting things to see in Leticia.   Just avoid thinking about that short story.

Be sure to be there on time as well, as after about 45 minutes, they clear out as quickly as they arrive.   If you get there early and are willing to pay a few pesos, you may even be able to get a birds eye view (see what I did there) from the church steeple.  After you’ve watched the birds, you can explore the main plaza and the monuments there, then grab some dinner.

Go Canopying

About 15 minutes outside of Leticia you can go canopying at the Reserva Natural Tanimboca.

After the tough rope climb up, you get to walk across a few swinging bridges and take a few zip lines through the tree tops before finally repelling back down to the ground .  It was a fun way to spend a couple hours, and one of the unique things to do in Leticia.

Cross the Border into Tabatinga, Brazil

Since the area is so isolated, the borders are open and you can walk right into Brazil.

If you head a few blocks from the main plaza in Leticia, you will find the border with Brazil.  Just keep walking a bit further and pass the marker and you will be in Tabatinga, Brazil.

There’s no checkpoint and it is not necessary to have your passport.

Tabatinga, well at least the part along the road just across the border, honestly wasn’t nearly as pretty as Leticia.  However, we stopped at the Casa do Chocolate  and a little tourist shop and got some chocolate, a bottle of Brazilian cachaça cane liquor and some other trinkets to take home.  On our most recent trip, there is another similar tourist and chocolate shop a bit closer to the border.

The Castel Brasíl is the site of an old fort from the 1700s that has a small little museum and a mini-zoo a bit further into Tabatinga..  Honestly the zoo is kind of sad with small cages and mostly sad looking animals.

And although we didn’t get the passport stamp, we can say we’ve been to Brazil!

A sign welcoming you to Brazil in Portuguese that marks the crossing from Leticia, Colombia to Tabatinga, Brazil, one of the things to see in Leticia.

Cross the River to Santa Rosa, Peru

You can take a short boat ride across the river to Santa Rosa, Peru.  You can get the boats by walking down the the docks.  In July 2019 it cost 3,000 pesos a person.

We took the boat across and had lunch there one day .  The restaurant Brisas de Amazonas is really good.  Susana had a great chaufa , Peruvian fried rice, and I had some tasty fish.  Plus, we got to sample some Peruvian beer, and again although no passport stamps, we can say we’ve been to Peru.

Trek into the Forest

We did not do this on either trip.  Not in a million years do I think I could convince Susana or my mom to do it.

However, trekking into the forest will not only fully satisfy your adventurous side, but it is also the best way to see wildlife.   Most jungle treks have a combination of camping and staying in indigenous villages.  There are tours as short as a night or two up to over a week.   You should not try to go without a guide.

If you’d like to do a trek into the forest, the aforementioned Expeditions George of the Jungle can arrange custom tours into the jungle for as many days as you’d like.  You can also check with other tour operators in town as well as with the place you plan to stay when you arrive to set up a trek into the Amazon.

See the City’s Annual International Festival

We actually got lucky and were there during the Festival de la Confraternidad Amazónica .  Held every year in July, it’s an international festival celebrating the cultures of Colombia, Brazil, and Peru.   The festival is meant to promote ties between members of the three nearby communities.

In true Colombian fashion, each of the nearby communities nominates a beauty queen to represent their country.  Each also gets a night devoted to them with performances of traditional dance and music, and the festival culminates in the crowning of the international beauty queen of the Amazon.

A beauty queen on top of a float that looks like a Jaguar during a parade that was part of the annual festival, one of the neat things to do in Leticia.

We had no idea the festival was going on, so only got to see the inaugural night and the Brazilian night.  If you’re already planning to go to Leticia round midyear, then try to arrange your visit to coincide with the festival.

Honestly, you really should always check these types of things when you travel, since we not only missed the rest of the festival but also missed the Olympic torch passing through Tabatinga before the 2016 Rio games several days later.

Where to Stay in Leticia

In Leticia proper, there are a range of options of places to stay.   There are backpacker and traveler hostels.  There are standard hotels with all the amenities you would expect elsewhere.  There are even boutique hotels, luxury bungalows, and an all inclusive resort.

If you’re looking to get a bit more of the adventurous experience, there are hostels, lodges, and cabins outside of town as well.   While not really in the jungle, jungle, more like the beginning of the beginning of the jungle, it’s still neat to stay out of civilization a bit.

Where we stayed part 1 – Omshanty Jungle Lodge

Photo of cabin at Omshanty, one of the places to stay in Leticia.

During our first trip, we chose one of the options outside of town, and stayed at Omshanty Jungle Lodge .  Located about 10 minutes outside of Leticia, Omshanty has 5 small cabins nestled into the forest, each sporting a tiny kitchenette, a porch with hammock, bathroom with running water, and several beds.

I loved Omshanty, although Susana wasn’t crazy about sharing our cabin with a couple lizards and frogs who made themselves our houseguests over the 3 nights we were there.  It is definitely closer to camping than being in a hotel, but for me the thought of being in a regular hotel in the Amazon would have been a letdown.

There are a few little stores and restaurants on the road around Omshanty where you can grab dinner or a couple beers.  To get into town, you can catch a bus that runs routinely to and from Leticia.

The staff at Omshanty were also great, and very helpful.   They set up our river tour and had number of tours of their own they offered, including treks into the jungle.

Where stayed part 2 – Amazonas Explorer’S

leticia colombia amazonas tours

We stayed at Amazonas Explorer’S with my mom during our second trip.  The property has several apartments.   They are well furnished with comfortable beds, a small kitchenette (and complementary jug of water), and even cable television.  It is also in a great location , about a 10 minute walk from the center of town.

Our apartment had a double bed in one room and several other beds in the other.  I would highly recommend Amazonas Explorer’S as a place to stay in Leticia for families or groups.

Other Recommended Places to Stay in Leticia

Reserva Natural Tanimboca – Stay in a Tree House

leticia colombia amazonas tours

Where to stay in Leticia for a truly unique experience?  Reserva Natural Tanimboca has tree houses to rent.  This is actually where we did canopying, and the tree houses looked very cool.  It is located about 15 minutes outside of town just down the road from Omshanty.  Just be careful if you’re a sleepwalker.

Waira Suites – Boutique Hotel in Leticia

leticia colombia amazonas tours

Waira Suites has all the trappings of a modern boutique hotel in Leticia.   We actually had a drink and dinner at the hotel restaurant here one night.  In addition to the sleekly decorated rooms, there is also a pool on site .  This would make a great option for where to stay in Leticia for those looking to return to a room with all the modern luxury amenities after exploring nature during the day.

Hotel Yurupary – Great Value in Leticia

leticia colombia amazonas tours

With a gorgeous pool and garden area, Hotel Yurupary also offers nice and comfortable rooms.   It looks to be one of the best bangs for your buck in Leticia and would be another great option for where to stay in Leticia.

Hipilandia – Best Hostel in Leticia

leticia colombia amazonas tours

Relatively new, Hipilandia Eco Hostel is a great option for those looking for a hostel or budget place to stay in Leticia.  It is located centrally and has both privates and dorms available.   Maybe a cliche name for a hostel, but still a great option among the best places to stay in Leticia.

Colombia’s premier resort chain even has a location in the Amazon.  The Decameron Decalodge Ticuna is pricey, but does include breakfast and dinner and truthfully is a gorgeous property .  For those looking for a hotel that will make you feel like you’re in the Bahamas, it is a good option for where to stay in Leticia.

Cabaña Flotante Kurupira – Stay on the River Itself

leticia colombia amazonas tours

If staying in a tree house doesn’t float your boat, then why not stay on a boat?  The Cabaña Flotante Kurupira is a floating cabin.   The rooms have balconies overlooking the river where you can see gorgeous sunsets.  This is another truly unique place to stay in Leticia.

Practical Tips on a Visit to Leticia, Colombia

  • You have to pay a tourist tax upon arrival to the airport.  I didn’t note how much it was, but want to say it was 40-50,000 pesos.
  • There is also a 10,000 peso tax to enter Puerto Nariño if you enter without a tour which should include it.
  • Getting Around – There are some taxis in Leticia.  You can also get motorized tuk tuks.  Finally, there is a bus that goes out of town to where Omshanty and Tanimboca are.
  • There are ATMs in Leticia.   There are several on the side streets around the main plaza.
  • Do I need the Yellow Fever Vaccine to enter Leticia?  No, it is not required, and they do not check for it when you arrive.  It is however suggested.
  • If you choose to go on from Leticia to further into Brazil or Peru than Tabatinga or Santa Rosa, look into if you will need visas and/or the exit stamp out of Colombia.

Packing List – What to Pack for Leticia, Colombia

leticia colombia amazonas tours

  • The Osprey Farpoint 40L backpack is a great travel option.  It has comfortable straps to carry and can be used as a carry on on all airlines .  Also see the Farview women’s version .
  • The Osprey Porter 46L is also a great bag.  It has a bit more space than the Farpoint, although the straps are not as cushioned.  I have one of these and used it for the first time during our July 2019 trip.  It’s a great pack and should make the cut as a carry on for most airlines.
  • I also have a Roam packable backpack , and took it with me on this trip.  I love it (see review here ) .  It folds up and hardly takes up any space in your main pack or suitcase, is perfect for a day pack, and is nice and sturdy.
  • If you plan to trek into the jungle or stay in a place outside of town like Omshanty, definitely take along a small flashlight.  This maglite mini would be perfect.   You may also want to check out these solar powered, collapsable puff lanterns .
  • If you are staying in hostels or trekking into the jungle, a Pacsafe travel safe might also be a good idea, especially if you’re traveling with valuables.  A good travel lock like this TSA approved Masterlock is also a useful thing to have.  Always better safe than sorry.
  • This set of waterproof dry bags would also be helpful if you plan to go into the jungle.  It is the rainforest after all, and they will help keep your things dry.

What to Wear in Leticia? – Clothes to Pack:

Bring comfortable clothes.  It gets quite warm during the day and it is humid.  A jacket is a horrible idea to bring along as well as quick showers do of course happen.

Recommendations for Her:

leticia colombia amazonas tours

  • These cute and comfortable tees are good for the outdoors.  In fact, my mom brought one along and wore it during our trip.
  • For pants, check out these Columbia Trail Pants , which would hold up well for hiking.  Columbia also has great drawstring capris .
  • These Lee cargo capris are also perfect for the outdoors.
  • For footwear, these Merrell Hiking Shoes would be great for lots of walking.  For sandals, check out these Chacos .
  • For a great day pack that would fit in with a visit to the rainforest, check out this cute leaf print drawstring bag.

Recommendations for Him:

leticia colombia amazonas tours

  • Columbia’s Blood and Guts Shirts are durable, light, and comfortable.  Their Thistletown Park Tees are also comfortable with moisture wicking to keep you dry.
  • Columbia’s Cascades Explorer cargo pants are also moisture wicking and if you are trekking into the jungle they will keep brush and mosquitos off your legs.
  • If you’re looking for shorts (I wore shorts and didn’t regret it), these quick dry hiking shorts are also great.
  • On the river, the sun can be hot, and this Bora Bora hat will make you look like a true explorer and keep it out of your eyes.
  • For footwear, these New Balance cross trainers are comfortable for walking.  If you’re looking for a good pair of sandals, look no further than Chacos .

Other Things to Pack for Leticia:

leticia colombia amazonas tours

  • You will definitely want bug spray!  Particularly in the evenings the mosquitos can be bad.  Off! Deep Woods is my preferred spray , and they also have an all natural Botanical bug spray , and moist toilettes .
  • You will also want sunscreen when you are on the river.    My preferred sunscreen is Coppertone Sport .   If you want to combine these first two, you can try out Avon’s Sunscreen Insect Repellant Combo , which seems to work pretty well but has a slightly funny scent.
  • I love my Takeya water bottle and carrying a water bottle you can refill will save the environment and some pesos.   This Nomader collapsable bottle is also easy to pack.  This Grayl Purifier bottle comes with a filter so you can drink any water, which could come in handy if you spend a few nights trekking into the jungle.  As would this Steripen , which uses UV light to purify water.
  • Rain showers do in fact happen in the rain forest.  Therefore, a travel poncho could come in handy and is easy to pack.
  • Finally, particularly if you are planning to hike and camp in the forest, a basic first aid kit is a very good thing to pack for Leticia.

There you have it, a complete travel guide to Leticia, Colombia.  If you do decide to go, I hope you find this guide useful and have an excellent trip!

Cheers and Happy Exploring!

Thank you for this helpful article! We are looking to come down to Colombia mid March. We are making Cartagena our home base. We plan on visiting Leticia for a few days during our trip there. Do you think March is a good time to pay a visit to Leticia?

' src=

Hi Kay, that’s great! I hope you enjoy Cartagena, Leticia, and the rest of Colombia. So, based on this page it looks like March has a slightly higher chance of rain but should still be ok. This page actually says it’s an interesting time as the river will be higher, and with some of the jungle flooded, you can go through it on boat. So I’d say there’s a chance you could get a little wet but it’s still a fine time to visit! Best, Adam

I’ve looked at your guides in Leticia and there are so many and a hit or miss. Who did you use for as your tour guide? I’d love to have the same experience as you!

So, for the river tour, we arranged it through where we stayed at Omshanty. However, it seemed pretty standard. I imagine once there, if you go down to the waterfront you could ask (that’s probably cheaper than organizing it before hand too). Or depending on where you stay, I’d imagine they have contacts. The river tour was the only thing we did guided.

' src=

What tour was this and was it in English?

Hi Whitney,

The river tour we went on was arranged through Omshanty where we stayed but seemed pretty standard. It was not in English, although I imagine with some hunting and asking around the docks, you could find one in English. Cheers!

' src=

Thanks for the great tips! How many days have you been in Leticia? I am planning to do the same you have done, but I am not sure how many days are needed at least..

Hi, we stayed only 3 nights and felt like that was enough to do the river tour, see the town, and do the canopying. I think it would be nice to stay a few more and do a longer trek and spend a night or two elsewhere in the jungle, but to see the basics 3 nights with an afternoon flight out was fine.

' src=

We dont have much time in our colombia trip on coming Oct. Its a official trip. We will stay in Bogota only. We like to go to Leticia from Bogota by early morning flight & wish to do the cruise for the day & will catch a night flight to go to Cartagena ( will spend next day in Cartagena & then get back to Bogota to catch up the office work) as We have only 2 days to visit other places in Colombia. Is it possible to do it ?Please suggest! Thanks!

Hi Ray. I think it would bd tough. There are some earlier flights but the river day tours start at 8 and i dont think theres any that put you in before that (but do check your dates, avianca and latam have flights from Bogota). You could try to set up a private tour that started a bit later. Try contacting George of the Jungle Exoeditions, maybe they can set something up. Finally, there are some later flights but they go back to Bogotá not Cartagena. I think youd be best off spending at least one night in Leticia and saving Cartagena for next time.

Hope that sort of helps. Definitely check out the flights and tours and see if you can make it work. Good luck!

Thanks a lot Adam

Of course Ray. Good luck and enjoy your travel to Leticia!

' src=

On the extended river tours are you likely to see any critters other than monkeys and birds?

Possibly you will see some in trees or along the river bank. You have a better chance seeing wildlife in the wild if you go on an actual hike in the forest.

' src=

Excellent piece here! Loveee Leticia and the Amazon region. It’s so cool you can be in three countries in one day

Hi Eric. Agreed! Thanks for the kind words!

' src=

Hi! About how much did you spend on your amazon river tour? I am a student traveling on a tight budget! I am trying to decide what path to take guided trip wise. 🙂

It’s been a while so I’m not entirely sure to be honest. I want to say it was in the 75-125,000 peso range but not sure what it would be now. I would try reaching out to a few agencies in Leticia online or on Insta/Facebook and ask. That one day river tour is pretty standard and they should all be charging pretty similar.

The capital city of the Amazonas province, Leticia is the largest settlement for hundreds of miles and yet still looks and feels very much like the small town it is. Located on the Amazon River where Colombia, Brazil and Peru meet, Leticia is some 500 miles (800km) from the nearest Colombian highway. It's a bustling town abuzz with fleets of motorcycles, with a few minor sights to entertain you for a day or two.
