Amazon Crossing - Backpacking through Brasil and Colombia 🌄🌎

The Jungle Book goes into the next round. Adventure seekers watch out! I am planning an Amazon crossing from Brazil to Colombia with the following backpacking trip! The start of the trip is in Rio de Janeiro. Here we will meet and spend a few days enjoying the city and acclimatizing before heading to the Amazon via domestic flight to Manaus. From here, the boats leave for Colombia and Peru and we embark on a week-long boat trip through the Amazon. We sleep in hammocks and use these days to go completely offline! Playing card games, watching pink dolphins, listening to podcasts, reading and meditating. The boat is equipped with the basics, but be aware that this is a very local way of traveling and not designed for tourism! However, we ultimately want to participate in real life and take every experience with us. After a week we arrive in Leticia in Colombia and are now in the three-country corner between Peru, Colombia and Brazil and can also make a short visit to Peru. We use the next days in Leticia to explore the jungle on foot and to meet indigenous peoples. From Leticia, we take a domestic flight to Cartagena, where we visit the beautiful colonial city for a few days and finally get a fresh ocean breeze. From Cartagena, we'll head to Isla Grande for a bit of a Caribbean feel and to sunbathe on the beach, go scuba diving and drink cocktails. Next on the plan is Santa Marta, because we can't leave the sea and cool city vibes so soon. A few days later it's time for our first vibrant city, the famous Medellin! Following in the footsteps of Pablo Escobar, we'll spend a few days exploring the city, which is known for its art and graffiti scene, and dive deep into the culture of Colombia. From here we also make a few excursions and visit for example Guatape (check google images- no more words needed). Afterwards, we continue to Salento. A small town surrounded by the largest palm trees in the world. A unique nature highlight! Last but not least Bogota! Here our trip ends and we spend a few more days in the lively capital of Colombia, look at the architecture and local markets and getting ready for the return journey. The cost includes accommodation and the organization of the trip. You should be open-minded, adventurous, spontaneous and adaptable and have no problem sharing a room and living the backpacking lifestyle! Briefly about myself: I am Yara, 24 years old and I have been traveling around the world for 6 years. Mostly I travel alone and with my backpack and have already lived several years in Central America and also traveled South America. I am open, easy going and communicative. I speak several languages and will get us through the jungle somehow! After my studies in tourism management, I completed an apprenticeship as a diving instructor and can't stop discovering new places. I am looking forward to meeting you!
