Jungle trip to La Macarena

Jungle trip to la Macarena

Discover the beauty beyond Caño Cristales

The rainiest place in the world located in Chocó, where a year it can rain 10 times more than in a average place in the rest of the world.

With this amazing 4 day trip you will have the possibility to enjoy the famous destination of Caño Cristales La Macarena as is called the Municipality, but this time at your own pace, exploring calmly the off the beaten path jungle that you never visit when you are only going to la Caño Cristales the river. You will be amazed by the secrets that waits for you!. Hiking, or using canoes we will go deep to enjoy geological rocky formations resembling cities, canyons like the mighty Cajon at Raudal Guayabero 1, carved in the rock deep inside the jungle by which the waters leaks sometimes even creating waterfalls, or quiet secret lagoon inside the jungle. We will have the chance to observe ancient petroglyphs carved in the rock. We will go by the hand of the local guides of the community to do some short hikes for learning about the diverse fauna and flora of the region, or even better!, if you prefer we can enjoy an adventure activity going down the Guayabero river in plastic kayaks or pneumatics for enjoy a bath at the river.

La Macarena is a small town lost in the jungle that is not easily reachable, and that suffered very much because of the violence and illegal economies, today is a community dedicated to take care of the jungle. This time after a long process of preparation they bring to us a new alternative, beyond Caño Cristales that everybody knows, communitarian off the Beaten Path Jungle Experience, created and hosted by themselves, looking to develop new amazing experiences, with homestay in the jungle and from their hands learn how these communities are moving today out of the illegal economies like Coca plantations to Ecotourism, in the unique Macarena Sierra. This is our way to help them and enjoy an adventure.
