An experience in one of the last places of the world where the simplicity and strength of nature merges with the toughness and nobility of its people, the llaneros; a place in which Earth speaks to us through the diversity and the colors that embellish the landscape.

We will travel through the Guayabero River, a scenery that evokes the wilderness back in the days of the conquest. We will spend the night in houses of local people listening to incredible legends of the Llanos, and we will learn their fishing and rowing arts at their sacred lagoon.

Temperatures range from 18 to 35C◦

What will you find?

The Macarena mountain range in the Colombian Orinoquía stands on a very old ground stratum, ancient as the planet itself. It is one of the last places where we can witness the primeval pureness of Earth untouched by man, through the pristine waters of Caño Cristales. Here, the impressive confluence between the Andean forest ecosystems, the gallery forests of the Orinoquía and the Amazon jungle takes place.
