Leticia offers a variety of local crafts that capture the essence of Amazonian culture. Ticuna
crafts are especially distinctive and highly recommended for purchase. The Ticuna, the
largest indigenous community in the region, are known for their artistic skills, and their
creations reflect the rich cultural tradition.

The &quot;malocas&quot; or miniature communal houses, carved from wood, are detailed
representations of the traditional structures of the Ticuna community. The masks and
sculptures made by hand, with motifs inspired by Amazonian fauna and mythology, are
appreciated for their authenticity and artistic beauty.
Other notable crafts include handmade weaving, basketry, and jewelry made from seeds
and natural elements from the jungle. Tagua products, also known as vegetable ivory, are
popular and sustainable.
By acquiring these crafts, tourists not only obtain unique and beautiful pieces, but also
directly contribute to the economic support of local indigenous communities, promoting the
preservation of their traditions and the conservation of Amazonian culture.
