Casanare, the best kept secret of the Colombian Orinoco, is one of the most biodiverse areas of the country, where it is very easy to observe species in their natural habitat; there you will find the largest populations of white-tailed deer, babillas and chigüiros or capybaras in Colombia.

The predominant flooded savannah ecosystem is unique in the world, it exists in a similar way in Brazil (the Pantanal) and Argentina (the flooded Pampas), but their conditions differ mainly because here there are no seasons, a permanently warm climate prevails.

Come and enjoy for four days of the best landscapes, sunrises, sunsets and beautiful places of the exotic nature of the Colombian Orinoquia, where you will capture the best images of your life

TRAVESÍA LLANERA (OPTIONAL)

In the llanera journey you will discover a different lodging every day. You will ride through the plains to get to your new destination and sleep every night in a different house.
