This is the main reason you came to Leticia, so find a tour operator, hop in a boat, or jump on a trekking excursion to explore this unique ecosystem.
The city makes a great base for exploring the Amazon, whether you want to take a multi-day trip or just a day tour.
Guides will take you to visit with an indigenous community, search for pink dolphins, take nature walks in the jungle, and even try piranha fishing.
Some will combine all of them or personalize your tour to make sure you hit all of your must-do activities.
A guide is necessary for most things around here – you can’t do this stuff on your own – and you’ll want them around anyway to help you spot critters, keep safe, arrange transport, and pack all your food and drinks for the day.
