Leticia

Leticia is a small city of approximately 37 thousand inhabitants on the left bank of the Amazon river. Located on the Brazilian and Peruvian borders in an area 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 it's states it is very peaceful and isolated from the problems of the rest of the country.
