| Day 5: Leticia / Tabatinga / Manaus by Ship Cargo 04 Days / 03 Nights | |||
| Boat from Tabatinga to Manaus leaves only on Wednesday and Saturday Tabatinga is small Brazilian town right next to Columbian town of Leticia (only road separates them). We will stay in Leticia while waiting for our boat to come because hostels are nicer. There is no border check between this two towns and Santa Rosa on Peruvian side, but as soon as we get out of the towns you will encounter passport checks. You can get Brazilian stamp only at Policia Federales, which is kind-of on the way, but plan to get there before leaving. | |||

| Boat is very good, sizable, stable, and a bit overcrowded. Cost of the trip is 170 reals (there is no other choice), food and water are included. Trip lasts 4 days and 3 nights, you leave 1pm, and arrive at 7am fourth day. This was the cleanest one that I have been on, bathrooms and showers are fine, floor is not rusty or dirty. Three meals per day are provided, and they are good and large. Coffee is available most of the day, and drinking water is filtered and very cold. Bring your own hammock and some kind of blanket because nights can be cold.Suggestion is to take upper deck and position yourself around middle of the ship. Try to go with people that you know so that you can all take care of security of your stuff. |

| Weaving in and out of the multicolored hammocks stung up in every single square inch of the boat, we would bang into people at both ends, heads and asses, and would have to swing them out of the way in the corridor just to make our way to other end of the boat. Scenes of children being breastfed, laundry being stung up on every side railing, locals reading biblical pamphlets, and pepole napping at all hours of the day. We were surprised as to the number of young children travelling on the boat. They would be crammed upside down, this way and that, tucked away into their parents hammocks during the night, and running around naked during the day...playing with action figures, trucks, dolls, or skipping ropes. |
