It is one of the 32 Colombian departments and is located on the south part of the country. With a surface of 109 655 square kilometers. It's territory is mostly jungle. The capital of this department is Leticia.
The department has a population of about 80 000 people. It isn't much considering that it is the biggest department and that Leticia, it's capital has a population of about 40 000 people. As I said before this is because the department is mostly jungle and the population of it is mostly of different native tribes. You can find nine of these:
- Ticuna
- Huitotos
- Yaguas
- Cocama
- Yucunas
- Mirañas
- Matapíes
- Boras
- Muinanes
The economy of the department is based on the extraction of wood, rubber and chicle, the fishing and farming plays also and important role. The green tourism is very famous in this department.
Because building streets in this department are very difficult you can just fly to Leticia and move through the department through riverways.
