Life in Leticia's Amazonas

LETICIA, AMAZONAS, COLOMBIA- FEBRUARY 23: Alex Parente, 22, Indigenous Ticuna from San Pedro de Los Lagos Community is seen at Yahuarcaca lake in Leticia, Colombia on February 23, 2019. Thousands of tourists from different regions of the world travel to Latin America to learn a little bit about the natural, cultural and social immensity of the Amazon basin. Few places in Colombia can afford to be a refuge of peace, they haven't had the Colombian conflict so present during the years, but it is a territory which has been forgotten by the government. In terms of public services, the inhabitants say that although they have been growing, there is still a need for at least 30% of the population to have electricity and drinking water. This region stretches along the borders of 9 countries where indigenous cultures and endemic species survive on the banks of one of the longest and dangerous rivers in the world. The imposing river houses indigenous communities, of which almost nobody in the country knows. Isolation and forgetting mark its history, they're looking to change this part working in different projects what embrace ecotourism and social inclusion to the indigenous of the area.
