Santa Rosa (Peru)
Santa Rosa del Yavarí
A small Peruvian border island in the middle of the Amazon, reached by a 5-minute boat ride, where you can complete a “three countries in one day” experience.
Santa Rosa is a Peruvian village on a small island in the middle of the Amazon, facing Leticia across the river. A small boat from the Leticia port takes about 5–10 minutes. The island has one main street and a few restaurants, where you can try Peruvian ceviche and Inca Kola, and take photos at the “Welcome to Peru” sign, completing a Colombia–Brazil–Peru “three-country day trip.” It is also the departure point for boats to Iquitos, Peru (fast boats take about 10–12 hours). You must complete immigration formalities at the island's immigration office.
