Introducing Llanos Orientales

A wider horizon in Colombia.

The eastern plains offer open skies, wetlands and a wildlife experience very different from the Andean forests. Around Casanare, time on working rural landscapes can bring birdlife and wetland animals into focus.

Water is the organising feature of the journey. The season affects both movement and the places where animals gather. Choose locally guided activities and a base that leaves enough time to observe the plains without spending each day in transit.
