Tabatinga
A Brazilian border town that runs seamlessly into Leticia. You can walk across the border, see the boundary marker and explore a Brazilian-style market.
Tabatinga is a border city in Brazil's Amazonas state. It forms one continuous urban area with Leticia, separated only by a single main street, with no border checkpoint, so visitors can walk or take a motorbike taxi freely between the two. At the border you can photograph the boundary marker and the “Friendship Avenue,” browse Brazilian-style markets and bakeries, and try Brazilian barbecue and cassava snacks. You can pay in reais or pesos. The Tabatinga port has slow boats to Manaus (about 3–4 days) and fast boats. To travel further into Brazil, you must register your entry at the Federal Police office.
