Arriving in Leticia

We were booked onto the 5:30pm flight from Bogota to Leticia, the gateway to the Amazon rainforest!

The flight took 2 hours and was with LATAM, a new airline for us but one we'll be flying with again very soon!

As we stepped off the plane the first thing that hit us was the heat and humidity. We'd been at altitude for a week or so now so had got used to the cooler temperatures. Leticia is close to the equator and almost at sea level so the tropical climate is very different!

We've also now entered into the Southern hemisphere which is Dan's first time down here, so what a monuments occasion!

We arrived at our hotel which has all ESPN channels, filtered water, AC, towels and breakfast in the morning so we're happy with our choice!

We leave for the rainforest at 8:30am for a 2 day 1 night tour. So wish us luck and will update you when we're back!Read more
