A nature adventure in the "most beautiful river in the world", also known as the "river of the gods".
Caño Cristales owes its extraordinary beauty to the colors given to it by the Macarena Clavijera, an endemic aquatic plant that transforms its shades depending on the conditions of the environment.
Its fantastic aura is nourished by the vegetation that sprouts around it and the rock formations that accompany it in its course. It is located in the Serranía de la Macarena National Park, where the wonderful biodiversity of the Amazon, the Orinoco and the Andes is found.
On this trip you will be able to enter into the natural magic and go trekking (medium difficulty) through its trails, participate in a cultural show of llanera music and enjoy the traditional gastronomy. After each day of wonderful discoveries, come to rest in a comfortable hotel in the town of La Macarena - Hotel Punto Verde, located on the main square and considered the best accommodation within the town.
