Jungle Trips
Tabatinga and the Colombian town of Leticia lie side-by-side on the eastern bank of the Amazon, about 1100km west of Manaus, while the far bank belongs to Peru. This area, known as the 'triple frontier', is a logical travel hub and also happens to be good for taking jungle trips, particularly to remote areas up the Rio Javarí (the Brazil-Peru border) and further up the Rio Amazonas in Colombia.
Most travelers base themselves in Leticia, which is more pleasant and better equipped than Tabatinga or the small villages on Peruvian side.
