In the News (Thu 31 Dec 09)

  
  Rio Solimoes
The stretch of river upstream from Manaus, as far as the pivotal frontier with Peru and Colombia at Tabatinga, is known to Brazilians as the Rio Solimões.
There are reasonable facilities for visitors in the border town of Tabatinga and the adjacent Colombian town of Leticia.
Some Brazilian boats will leave you at Benjamin Constant, across the river from Tabatinga, but, if you do have to hang around, then Tabatinga, or the neighbouring Colombian town of Leticia, are the only places with any real facilities.

 TABATINGA, Tabatinga Tourist Information and Travel Guide at InfoHub.com
Smaller than Leticia, TABATINGA is hardly the most exciting place in South America, and many people stuck here waiting for a boat or plane to Manaus or Iquitos prefer to hop over the border to Leticia for the duration of their stay, even if they don't plan on going any further into Colombia.
They leave from both Tabatinga and Benjamin Constante, on the other side of the Amazon, usually starting from the former in the early afternoons (frequently on Wednesdays, but also less regularly on most other days of the week) and calling at the latter an hour or so later.
If there are no boats in Tabatinga, however, it may be worth taking a speedboat ferry ($7; a 30min trip) to Benjamin Constante to see if there are any departing just from there.

  Eight Hundred Leagues on the Amazon, by Jules Verne (chapter12)
It was on the evening of the 25th of June that the jangada stopped before Tabatinga, the first Brazilian town situated on the left bank, at the entrance of the river of which it bears the name, and bleonging to the parish of St. Paul, established on the right a little further down stream.
The population of Tabatinga is estimated at four hundred, nearly all Indians, comprising, no doubt, many of those wandering families who are never settled at particular spots on the banks of the Amazon or its smaller tributaries.
Tabatinga is destined to become before long a station of some importance, and will no doubt rapidly develop, for there will stop the Brazilian steamers which ascend the river, and the Peruvian steamers which descend it.
