Rio Jutaí, Brazil to Leticia, Colombia
The banks are closer here and the currents stronger. Our ship passes closer to the forest and we see less frequent evidence of human population. In this more intimate relation to the forest, we will again use the Zodiacs to probe the shorelines and gain insights from your Expedition Team about the daily activities of the humans and the wildlife living here. The river itself forms the triple borders of Brazil, Colombia and Peru. Isolated, traditional caboclo communities see few visitors. Picturesque, friendly Leticia is a frontier town, hundreds of miles from the nearest Colombian road. The stilt and floating houses along its waterfront reveal how closely its peoples’ lives are linked to the river.
