Leticia is a city of Colombia located 1,100 kilometers at the south of Bogotá (683 miles). It is also the most southern spot of the Colombian territory, just at the northern banks of the Amazon River. There are not land connections of Leticia with the rest of Colombia due to the jungles. Access from Bogotá to Leticia is exclusively by plane. It is also located in the Three Borders Region, a place where Colombia, Peru and Brazil join.

We dream with a Colombia in peace, a real civilize nation where justice, honesty and progress are at the base of everything we do and plan. A country without corruption, cities and rural areas without violence and poverty. A nation where science, art, tolerance, sport and law shine on every single centimeter of its geography. A country that is proud of its multiethnic identity and its different cultures, but united in a unique purpose: To build our Colombian dream!
Support Colombia by knowing it better, protecting vulnerable people and helping children and young people to have better opportunities.
Europe, Canada, US, China, Japan... You care environment in your own lands! Please don't come to cut our jungles and promote the displacement of our native communities. Destroying the Colombian jungles means to destroy the planet and to promote more violence. Protect ecology, protect life.
