It’s the gateway to the Amazon, where we begin our journey into a world untouched by time. Greicy, my guide, grew up in this wild place. She’s as much a part of the jungle as the trees and the creatures that call it home. I’ll hike deep into the green abyss with her, sampling medicinal plants that look more like something out of a witch’s brew. “Eat this? Sure, why not?” The Amazon River is alive. It breathes. It pulses. From the sloths lazing in the canopy to the menacing ripple of a predator just beneath the surface, this place doesn’t just demand your attention—it takes it. As the day fades, the pink river dolphins appear graceful and strange as we fish on the riverbank. And then, because the Amazon demands participation, not observation, I dive in. Into the chocolate-colored waters, into the unknown. This isn’t a vacation. It’s an experience—raw, unfiltered, and unforgettable.

Leticia, a vibrant border town in Colombia, stands at the confluence of three nations: Brazil to the south, Peru to the west, and Colombia at its heart. Like a jaguar prowling the dense Amazon undergrowth, the town exudes an energy that’s both magnetic and untamed. It’s a place where cultures collide, stories flow like the great river, and every corner hides an unexpected discovery. With a cold beer, I ventured into the lively streets, diving headfirst into the daily rhythm of life here. Conversations with locals offered glimpses of their world—as sharp and piercing as a piranha’s bite—revealing stories of resilience, humor, and heart. But the true essence of Leticia lay just beyond the well-trodden paths in the labyrinthine slums rarely seen by tourists. This is where the spirit of the Amazon truly comes alive. The slums twist and turn like an anaconda in the underbrush, full of surprises at every bend. Life here is raw and unfiltered, a testament to the ingenuity and strength of its people. As I navigated these hidden corners, I was struck by the contrasts: the laughter of children echoing through makeshift homes, the vibrant colors of markets nestled in shadowed alleys, and the ever-present hum of the river, a lifeline and a mystery all its own. Join me on this journey as we peel back the layers of Leticia—an honest, unvarnished look at life on the Amazon River. It’s a tale of adventure, connection, and discovery, as wild and unforgettable as the Amazon.

I did—and it was the adventure of a lifetime. Starting in Tabatinga, Brazil, I boarded the Esmeralda, a cargo ship making its way to Manaus, deep in the heart of the Amazon Rainforest. For just $10 a day, this 4-day, 850-mile journey offered a hammock to sleep in, three meals daily, and front-row views of the breathtaking Amazon. Along the way, I passed tiny Indigenous villages, listened to Macaws calling from the treetops, and marveled at night skies bursting with stars and the Milky Way. This was more than a trip—it was a true Amazonian adventure. Here is a link to a blog post that helped make my Amazon River Cruise possible.

What began as a casual "I'll check it out" plan quickly turned into one of the most unforgettable days of my time here in Manizales, Colombia. From the moment the first cowboys and cowgirls took to the narrow streets, it was clear this was no ordinary parade. The horses didn't just trot—they danced, prancing like they were tap-dancing to the rhythm of the crowd. Riders passed around beers, shots of rum, and Aguardiente, fueling a nonstop street party. But the real showstopper? Hundreds of stunning Colombian women in low-cut tops confidently ride their horses through the lively streets. The energy was electric, blending tradition, beauty, and pure celebration. ABOUT MANIZALES: Nestled in Colombia's Coffee Triangle, Manizales sits 2,160 meters (7,087 ft) above sea level. Known for its coffee culture, it's a key hub in Colombia's coffee-growing region. The Feria de Manizales is one of the country's biggest festivals, blending Spanish traditions with Colombian flair.
