Arcangel is an entrepreneur and one of the tourism warriors chosen to participate in the Hope Vouchers. He created a company where he teaches his knowledge to other guides and actors in the chain. He is the first operator to emerge from the heart of the community. The experiences he offers are community-based, and he already offers accompaniment to other tourism sites in the Department of Guainía. We have witnessed in recent years his integrity and perseverance.

DAY 1

We begin our journey along the Inírida River.

A tuk-tuk, accompanied by our guide, will pick you up at the airport and take you to the dock. We will navigate along the river to the Matraca Lagoon, home to dozens of pink dolphins. Then, we will continue our journey to the Ceiba Pool. This natural haven is also a perfect setting for bird photography.

We will have lunch at the Caranacoa Community (if the weather is rainy, lunch will be held directly in the community) and continue to the El Remanso Community, where we will stay for two nights.

Overnight in hammocks, tents, or beds in local homes (optional).

We will wake up early to reach the summit of Mavicure Hill for the sunrise.

We will have breakfast at the El Remanso Community before heading to San Joaquin, a creek with red waters, colored by the tannins in the soil. If we are lucky, we may see Matamata turtles, pink dolphins, and dozens of bird species.

Lunch will be in the community.

In the afternoon, we will walk around Pajarito Hill, traversing savannas and jungle. If you want to capture the best view of the Hills, don’t forget your camera.

Return to the accommodation or camp, dinner, and rest.

DAY 3

We will navigate in curiaras (local canoes) through a magical landscape at dawn.

We will say goodbye to our hosts in the El Remanso Community and head toward La Ceiba. We will explore the La Miel trail, a community project dedicated to the conservation of angelita bees and the production of their medicinal honey.

In the La Ceiba community, you will learn about the different types of chili peppers grown in the region. If you're a chili lover, this is a great opportunity to bring some home.

Finally, we will board a boat to reach Amanaven, Vichada, for lunch. We will make a stop at the rocks of the Orinoco River (in the dry season) or at Maviso Island (in the rainy season). After a swim in Amanaven, we will enjoy the sunset while heading back from the Southern Fluvial Star.

Overnight at the Orinoco Hotel and enjoy a local dinner.
*Accommodation at Hotel Cabaña Guainiana is available for an additional $50,000.
