Colombian Amazon, Colombia

The Colombian Amazon centres on Leticia at the Triple Frontier with Brazil and Peru, with Amacayacu National Park's pink dolphins, the Tikuna indigenous communities, and Puerto Nariño's quiet rainforest village two hours upriver.

Transition month with rivers still high, mosquito density manageable, and the Leticia waterfront markets at full activity with local fish and chambira fibre crafts.

Nov

Wet season returning with the river beginning to rise, jungle still walkable in mornings, and the rainforest at peak greenery.
