Leticia
Leticia,
Colombia, is a small
city of approximately 37 thousand inhabitants on the left bank of the
Amazon river, and at the three country point of Colombia,
Brazil and
Peru, in an area therefore called
Tres Fronteras. It is the capitol of the state of Amazonas, Colombia's southernmost town (4.09° south 69.57° west) as well as its only major port on the river. It has an elevation of 96 meters above the sea-level and an average temperature of 27 centigrade (80.6 degrees Fahrenheit).
Even though it is a city within the borders of Colombia and a capitol of one of its states it is very peaceful and isolated from the problems of the rest of the country.
