The Colombia–Peru border is a long continuous international border separating the territories of the two South American countries. It was originally established by the Salomón-Lozano Treaty of 24 March 1922 and then by the Río de Janeiro Protocol of 24 May 1934, which ended the Colombia-Peru War. Both agreements establish the border at the Putumayo River, with the exception of the Amazon Trapeze, located between the Putumayo and Amazon rivers, which is under the sovereignty of Colombia.
Geography and definition According to these treaties, the boundaries between Colombia and Perú are as follows: The Colombian departments of Amazonas and Putumayo along with the Peruvian Department of Loreto form the border, which lies in the Amazon rainforest.
The main rivers that cross or form part of the border are the Güepí River, Putumayo River, Yaguas River, Atacuari River, Amazon River, and Loretoyacu River.
