Leticia Hotels - Reviews and Rates

I'm standing in the middle of a small, dirty river port in Brazil. To my right, across the treeline, I can see Colombia. And across the sprawling Amazon river in front of me, I can see Peru. This is "tres fronteras", the point in South America where Brazil, Colombia and Peru briefly meet.
We only had about an hour and a half in Brazil in th...

Finally another tick on the list of things to do before I die. There was no way I was leaving South America without seeing the amazon. And it's absolutely amazing, just like I imagined, just as I'd seen in the movies. We (Alexandra and I) arrived this afternoon after 2 flights - like all flights Colombian, we had to go to Bogota first - a taxi ...

The last country if my trip, Colombia. After another 2 days in a cargo boat I finally got to the country that I had been thinking about for the previous 6 months! I entered Colombia in its most Southern city, Leticia in the amazon and stayed there, chilling out in the intense heat writing and eating amazonian fruts all day!

As antisocial as I can be at times, I do have to admit that frequently the thing that makes or breaks a traveling experience for me is the people I share it with. Lucky for me my seven day cargo boat trip through the Amazon included the group of English medical students it did. No, I didn't need their medical expertise, but their company made th...

Hi all, Well I am finally leaving Peru after three fantastic weeks of ruins and natural splendour.

So where have I been and what have I been doing... you may ask. Well, since my last post I h...

Hot hot hot!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah the heat is on here in the middle of the jungle. Iquitos is the largest town (500000!!!) with no road access, and in some ways it is very strange to be somewhere where one cannot just walk away if needed, still that said, it is hard to think of being in the middle of the Amazon rain forest when outside the roar of th...

Hey Everyone, So after my last entry I dutifully set off to buy some goods for my river trip. I picked up a used long sleeve cotton shirt (bugs and heat protection) a hammock, and of course some rope to hang it with. I as especially excited about the hammock because the guy sold it to me for what I felt was a really fair price. Later I would lea...

Colombia was supposed to be my last Spanish speaking country in South America, but instead it turned out to be the first. As soon as we got off the boat in Tabatinga we were eager to get out of Brazil. We planned to stay in Leticia, which is right next door to Tabatinga and people are free to come and go across the border without needing entry a...
