Dawn light cracks over the wide Amazon as a small motorboat slips away from Leticia’s port, carrying a mixed group of travelers into a corridor of tea-dark water and buzzing canopy. The guide eases the throttle; villages appear like clusters of open roofs and laundry lines, and the river dares you to slow down and listen.
