Cerros de Mavecure

Located in one of the most remote areas of the country. The tourist infrastructure is almost non-existent. Discover the hills of Mavicure or Mavecure, a set of three monoliths located in the southeast of Colombia, more precisely 50 km south of the city of Inírida, on the river of the same name. They belong to the massif of Guayanés, and have an average height of about 250 m.

Rural Tourism with Indigenous Communities: The Cerros de Mavecure are located between the natural reserves of the indigenous communities Venado and Remanso. The development of tourism is advancing slowly. The indigenous communities that live in this area are located in a remote and isolated area of Colombia.

La Guajira

La Guajira is a peninsula in the north of Colombia, almost deserted and full of contrasts between sea, sand, coal, salt, cactus and an emerald oasis. Cradle of the Wayuu culture, great craftsmen weavers of hammocks, bags and costumes, children of the earth and the rain, a place where legend and reality merge.

La Guajira stands out for its extraordinary richness in terms of images and colors. The desert is decorated with stones and plunges into the Caribbean Sea. It is a magical destination where the indigenous Wayuu customs are rooted.

UNESCO declared the Sierra Nevada a Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Site in 1979.

Cocuy

Summits of silence, glaciers and eternal snows, lakes in altitude with multiple colors and surprising vegetation… In the wild beauty of these remote territories still live some mountain people and farmers: humble, simple and hardworking people.

Thanks to its climate and topography, the Sierra Nevada del Cocuy has a great biodiversity (Colombia is the 2nd country in the world with the most biodiversity) with an ecosystem of “Páramo”, a vegetation composed of mosses that abound with a large amount of water. This ecosystem is found in only 4 countries in the world: Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela and Kenya, especially on the line in the middle of the equator.
This region is particularly known for its “Frailejones” which are plants with large downy leaves, with flowers.

We find in the park bears, pumas, white-tailed deer, the famous Andean condor, but also the brown-breasted conure, a bird endemic to Colombia and the stenocercus lache, a colorful endemic lizard that can live up to 4000m of altitude
