This is the last batch of the Colombia photos from this past fall’s trip (back when we were allowed to travel!). The Amazon is teeming with culture and wildlife and is a place in desperate need of protection. We flew from Bogota to Leticia and were incredibly underwhelmed with the town itself. We were happy to get out on the river ASAP and we did exactly that.
We were enchanted by the calls of the caymans at night, thrilled by the difficult journey, and charmed by the hospitality of our guide, Jose, who was born and raised on the Peruvian banks of the Amazon. Jose spoke the language of the jungle, understanding nuances in plant life and animal calls my senses would never pick up.
Here are a few photos from our journey crossing from the Colombian Amazon into Brazil and Peru, where borders flow freely with the river and all are one Amazonas.
