Tres Fronteras is the iconic tri-border point where the borders of Colombia, Brazil, and Peru converge along the Amazon River. Visitors stand at a lookout platform to see the different-colored waters of the Amazon and its tributaries, and watch boats shuttle between countries. The area buzzes with activity from border crossings, river traffic, and local vendors selling crafts and snacks. It's a unique spot to experience the seamless blend of three Amazonian cultures in one glance.

- Watch the meeting of the Amazon River's muddy waters with the darker Rio Negro.
