Discover a Different World in Guaviare
Colombia is known as the country of a thousand musical rhythms know about 1025 kinds of different music, being around of 30 the main and best known.
Today, we will go to enjoy a 4 to 5-day expedition in this unique and incredible landscape formed between the regional borders of the Orinoquia Flat lands, and the Colombian Amazon Jungle. This is the state of Guaviare, located precisely at the heart of the mostly unexplored and almost forgotten part of Colombia due to the presence of illegal armed groups in the last decades. Nowadays, it is much safer, permitting this amazing land to opens its doors for us to explore in a sustainable way.
From its colourful rivers with amazing rocky formations like in Caño Cristales, passing by its endemism in flora at the Serrania and its vestiges of very ancient rock pictograms, we will end up having the possibility of going to a natural communitarian local reserve inside the jungle. Due to the long term protection and respect for the animals and the environment promoted here, animals are extremely easy to observe as we arrive in to a lake from the Guaviare river.
We will have the chance to swim here and see from very short distance (without interfering with their habitat) the Amazon pink dolphins who live in the lake inside the jungle and its natural environment.
