Dawn in Leticia smells of river mud and diesel; guides load a van and the city peels away into the green hush. Eleven kilometres out, the Tacana River marks the edge of firm ground and the footpath that will swallow the next two days: palms overhead, leaf litter soft under rubber boots, insects orchestrating the soundtrack.
