Santa Rosa de Yavarí is a populated centre in the Amazon River that serves as the Peruvian border crossing of Tres Fronteras, a triple border shared by Brazil, Colombia, and Peru. The city has a population of about 3,000 and is administered by Peru as part of Mariscal Ramón Castilla, a province of Loreto Region. However, it is disputed by Colombia since 2024.
