Bye bye Columbia, Slow boat to Peru Today I had to go to the airport to get my exit stamp, go back to the hostel pack up all my gear, take a boat across the river to Santa Rosa, and go to immigration there to get stamped into Peru. It was all a relatively easy experience! Once in Santa Rosa I just chilled out in a restaurant, then one last small boat trip across to the island where the boat stops. The boat "Victor Manuel" had plenty of space on it when I got on...

Day 3 Back to Leticia Waking up in the morning was quite pleasant watching a family of monkeys above in the trees, and the macaws flying overhead! After we finished packing up we headed back to the other camp for breakfast. I took out one of their little wooden traditional canoes for a bit of a paddle and then it was back to Leticia.

So when I say we went for a swim I mean we jumped off the boat into the water panicking like little girls trying to get back into th...

We were all loaded up in the long boat and within the first half an hour we saw pink dolphins which are extremely ugly! An hour or so later after crossing the mighty Amazon and going down a tributary we arrived at the village and house where we would stay. I say house because it was their house but it was...

Flight to Leticia My flight from Bogotá to Leticia was nice and they even let me bring my guitar in the cabin with me for no charge! What a difference from flying in America....."Sorry that's going to cost you 50 extra dollars"!!! Lol Flying into Leticia we had just a little cloud cover so was able to see the Amazon and the River pretty clearly. The humidity once they opened the plane door pretty much just slapped you right across the face! Jumped on a motorc...
