Leticia - 3 countries in 20 minutes
We flew from Cali to Leticia as we were told that the boarder crossing to Peru is easier and less dangerous here. Leticia is nestled between Peru and Brazil and you can walk freely between the countries as long as you have the entry stamp from one of them. Which meant we got a good photo of Steph in brazil taken by Liam in Colombia whose passport …
Into the Amazon
From Cartagena on the Colombian Caribbean coast I flew to Leticia in the far south, deep in the jungle on the tri-border with Santa Rosa in Peru and Tabatinga in Brazil. I felt a bit deflated at this point as my goal for so long had been the Caribbean coast and having achieved this, I felt a bit lost. Colombia had been quite different to what I had …
Hello Amazon
With Leticia located in a remote, distant corner of Colombia, it's one place I thought I'd never get to, so flying here - there is no other option within Colombia - helped make up for the disappointment in Venezuela. Here the countries of Colombia, Peru and Brazil all share borders. Leticia and the bigger Brazilian town of Tabatinga have a street …
Gustav's Penitentiary!!
Brad: So after an epic last night in Cartagena farewelling all our new friends we made it back to the hostel in time to see the sun rise, grab our bags and head to the airport. The next destination was Leticia which is the border town of Colombia and Brazil and where we were planning to set off on the long boat ride down the Amazon river into the …
3 countries in 1 day
So I was in Leticia, in Colombia where it's a short walk to Brazil and Peru is across the river. The town is so relaxed and the number of motorbikes reminds me of south east Asia. The actual border crossings are basically a sign in the road and no one cares, but as I was travelling further into Brazil my time here involved getting entry/exit stamps …

“ Relaxing ”
Reviewed May 28, 2011
A peaceful and quiet place not far from the centre. Reasonable prices and a friendly owner to chat about Colombian life and help you out if needed. Otherwise, just enjoy the serenity

“ Get away from it all ”
Reviewed Apr 11, 2011
The hostel was sitauted a short walk from the centre on a huge piece of land complete with a lake almost on the border with Brasil. The bed was slightly expensive at COP20,000 and the guide book description of comfy beds is misguided. Hard thin matresses and pillows. The owner was very helpful. People head to bed early in these parts so not too much going on but I did meet my travel partner for the length of the Amazon to Belem.

“ Gustav's the crazy manager ”
Reviewed Feb 12, 2011
Your stay at Mahatu will be idyllic, as long as you go there aware that you are a guest at Gustav's house...not a hostel. You have to play by his rules, even if you dont know what they are. This guy is a few clowns short of a circus, but it is still a beautiful place to stay in Leticia. Just dont piss him off.
