The city a good destination for you, if you are into extreme sports. Practised there are parkour, bicicross or motocross. In Tabitanga’s twin town – Leticia – there is taking place a festival dedicated to cultures of three bordering countries. Each day of festival is dedicated to one of them – Brazil, Peru or Colombia. There are dances, tasting of local cuisine and you get to know other elements of national culture.
Tabatinga – a city situated in the Brazilian state Amazonas, in a tri-border area close to Peru and Colombia. The city was founded in 1981. Thanks to its location, the city offers attractions connected to all three, neighbouring with each other countries.

Surrounding area offers beautiful sunsets and even possibility of admiring dolphins! It also has a ZOO - Parque Zoobotanico at Avenida da Amizade, in which you can see closely exotic animals.

If you fancy to eat dinner in a restaurant, go to Tres Fronteiras do Amazonas at Rua Rui Barbosa 353. It offers Brazilian, Peruvian and Colombian cuisine and the vast choice of fishes. On the evenings it is worth to go to bar and try drinks prepared in Brazilian or Colombian style.
