The Amazon rainforest is home to the highest variety of
animals and plants in the world. In the Colombian part, it covers around a third of the
country's territory. Colombia's Amazon region comprises six departments: Amazonas,
Caqueta, Guaviare, Guainía, Putumayo and Vaupés.
Sitting on the baks of the Amazon river and capital of the
Amazonas department, Leticia is the region's most important city. Leticia can be
easily reached by air from many parts of the country. Once there, places to visit include
the ethnography museum, the zoo and the botanical gardens. The city offers many
hotels and restaurants, making the city a great starting point for adventure-seeking
explorers. Guided tours take travelers to the heart of the jungle, to the
magnificent lakes in theYahuarcacas region and the Tarapoto, as well as those found nearby
in Brazil and Peru. Many indigenous communities inhabit the area, and are proud to
share their culture and heritage with their guests. The sounds and sights are
unique, creating a magical experience. Tours are flexible and can last from hours to days.
