THE ORINOCO
Safari at the Orinoco Savanna
Discover the incredible Biodiversity of the Orinoco Savanna
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.
We always think that in order to see free wild animals in the nature, we must travel far away, like to Africa or deep jungle to be able to observe and learn about different types of fauna. In Colombia there is a region, vast as we cannot even imagine, deep as far as the horizon takes us and where the most incredible sunsets are hidden, where mammals and other medium and small-sized animals live at ease and roam peacefully through these immense savannas, as if we were in Africa.
The savannahs of the Colombian Orinoquía, for a little more than 2 centuries in the departments that today correspond to Arauca, Meta, Vichada and Casanare, have been used for livestock by settlers, descendants of indigenous and mestizos, living in an immense and rich land, where they share with a great variety of fauna and flora, creating a unique region, for its natural and cultural wealth, where to the sound of the Joropo (cheerful and local musical string rhythm) and its Zapatiao dance, we can learn and enjoy see wildlife, like anteaters, capybaras, anacondas, a multitude of colorful and different birds, alligators, deer and many more animals!, while staying in comfortable ecolodges, which were part of huge cattle herds, which today refocus their efforts in the conservation of the rich nature that surrounds them.
¡Do not miss this incredible experience!
