Hotels near Alfredo Vásquez Cobo International Airport - LET, Leticia

A truly stunning location where Colombia, Brazil and Peru meet. You are right in the heart of the Amazon jungle and there is so much to do and explore. The people of this region are very friendly. I cannot wait to return!

The Amazon is awesome! Being in a place where you can go to Peru and or Brazil in a day is fun. We felt very comfortable with the Tuk Tuk and cab drivers. * Most of them we had summoned for us. * Pay attention in town. We were not there at night but we never experienced anything but great people. And yes, buy your tickets a day in advance for Puerto Nariño trips and stay overnight. We stayed at Ayahuecha there, simple and artistic and very friendly.

Leticia is full of beautiful nature, great food and amazing people. I went in January, which is winter/rainy season in Leticia. There were several days that rained, but in general the weather was great. Since it's next to Brasil and Peru, you can enjoy cuisine from different countries with decent price. Not to mention, nature and animals are must see. I didn't know but there are many 2-3 days tours. If you would like to have unforgettable experience, it's definitely worth trying. Also people are so nice. I often experienced, as a foreigner, people try to overcharge for service. But in Leticia, never happened. People were not pushy, very honest.

Leticia is a gateway for the Amazon so many people don't spend time here, myself included. But it would have been interesting to stay an extra day and visit Brazil, Peru which are both very close.

Leticia is very safe and friendly, with plenty of stores, restaurants, bars, cafes, and more. There are plenty of police, soldiers, and coast guard. We walked from the airport to our downtown hotel, but the sidewalks and roads are rough. There are many inexpensive taxis, tuk-tuks, and even moto taxis (motorcycles). There are ATMs and currency exchanges, in case you want to go to the neighbour town in Brazil.

Leticia is the city you will reach to start your Amazonas adventures. We spent one night in town before we traveled up the river. After a long travel to reach Leticia, I would highly recommend spending a night or two in town before heading out on the river. There are lots of restaurants, bars, etc to explore in town.
