Despite its isolation and often oppressive heat, Leticia is a remarkably spruce little town, with brightly painted houses, pleasant outdoor cafés and restaurants, and a well-maintained grid of streets. It also has a complete infrastructure to support travelers, with hotels in all price categories, regu- larly scheduled flights between Leticia and Bogota, and a long-standing military presence that keeps the city and surrounding region safe. Note that all foreigners must pay US$5 tax upon arrival at Leticia’s airport.
Founded in 1867 and christened San Antonio, Leticia remained part of Peru until a 1922 treaty ceded it to Colombia. The town’s new masters renamed it Leticia and made it their gateway to the Amazon. Though it’s the departmental capital – and the largest town for hundreds of miles – it feels very much like a small, frontier town.
