Boats from Manaus, Brazil to Leticia, Colombia?
I've heard of and met a few people who have done this route, and I hope to do it at the end of this year or early next year. However, the descriptions were mostly sketchy, and I'm wondering if it's a regularly scheduled service, or more ad-hoc.
So I guess the question is, how can I find out which boats go from Manaus to Leticia, and when they go? Ideally this wouldn't be a tour, but a 'locals' boat.
Best Answer
I went to Tabatinga/Brazil where the boats arrive (to check the boats to sail down the Amazon river to prepare for the next time to sail down).
As of 2017 Feb, there are a few operators and boats departing regularly.
The port at Tabatinga where boats by the operators arrive/depart.
Before crossing the border to Leticia, go to the immigration office for passport control. Be mindful of the opening dates/hours. It is located within the walking distance from the port where the boats of the operators arrive.
Then head to the boat stops to cross the river to the Colombian side. 5 Peruvian soles should be enough for one way.
