Exotic Wildlife & Unique Landscape!

During this 4-day Colombia tour, you will discover the remarkable nature, landmarks and culture the Colombian Eastern Plains, or Los Llanos, has to offer. Go horseback riding through the savannahs while viewing spectacular flora and fauna, then take a river boat and enjoy the spectacular surrounding landscapes from the water, in addition to hiking along waterfalls and trails. 

This beautiful natural region, located to the east of the Andes Mountain Range, is crossed by many rivers and lakes, turning this vast plain into a spectacular mix of landscapes, flora and fauna. Los Llanos is also recognised by its extensive ranches, where you will stay overnight and enjoy the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets. This Eastern Plains Tour is definitely the most appealing destination for curious travellers wanting to explore new sceneries and environments.

Detailed Itinerary

Show All

DAY 1 Fly to Yopal. Transfer to San Luis de Palenque. Wildlife Safari (4x4)

Take a morning flight to Yopal, the capital city of the Casanare Department in Colombia. Casanare is home to several hatos (ranches) and nature reserves that showcase the region's natural beauty and biodiversity. This region of Colombia will allow you to experience the unique ecosystems and wildlife of the eastern plains, known as the Llanos Orientales.

Upon arrival in Yopal, we will start the journey towards San Luis de Palenque, approximately 2 hours on paved roads. We will spend the next two days at Hato Matepalma and Hato Altamira; two large haciendas declared nature reserves. At these natural reserves, you will have the chance to see hundreds of capybaras, white-tailed deer, spectacled caimans, tortoises and interesting birdlife, including Orinoco geese and the great horned owl – Colombia's largest owl.

Upon arrival at the natural reserve, we will have lunch and relax for a while. Then, we will do a safari in a 4x4 vehicle to get close to an astonishing amount of wildlife; with some luck, we may see an anteater, a puma, an anaconda (especially during the dry season in February and March), armadillos and hundreds of capybaras, deers, spectacled caimans, tortoises and interesting birdlife. We will also be able to witness the spectacular sunset before continuing our expedition to see nocturnal wildlife.
