NAVIGATING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ANGOSTURAS CANYON
The Angosturas Canyon is an impressive natural formation where the Guayabero River narrows between imposing rock walls of the Guyanese shield. This place not only stands out for its geological beauty, but also for the diversity of fauna and flora that surrounds it. This canyon can only be visited during the Dry season (December to March), when the river level allows access and exploration of this fascinating corner of La Macarena.
EXPLORE CAÑO CRISTALES DE COLORES
Caño Cristales, known as the "River of Five Colors", is a natural treasure hidden in the Sierra de La Macarena. During the Color season (June - November), its waters are dyed in vibrant shades of red and green, thanks to the aquatic plant Macarenia clavigera. This unique spectacle, framed by waterfalls, natural pools and ancient rock formations, creates a landscape that looks like something out of a dream. The upper basin of Caño Cristales is known as Caño Cristales de Colores, where the ecosystem is more open, the plants receive more sunlight and therefore its tonality is mainly red.
DISCOVER CAÑO CRISTALES SELVA
Caño Cristales Selva is a sector of Caño Cristales where the exuberance of the forest unfolds in all its beauty. Unlike other stretches of the river, here the shade of the trees creates a cooler and more mysterious environment, where the Macarenia clavigera becomes an intense green carpet. This plant tapestry covers the riverbed, forming a unique spectacle that connects you with the purity of the environment.
TO WALK THROUGH THE LABYRINTHS OF CIUDAD DE PIEDRA
Ciudad de Piedra is a mystical and fascinating landscape in the middle of the Sierra de La Macarena, where gigantic rock formations, sculpted by centuries of erosion, create a natural labyrinth that seems to be taken from another world. This place, full of geological history, transports you to a prehistoric setting, with structures that evoke the image of a city lost in nature.
HIKE TO EL MIRADOR AND CAÑO CRISTALITOS
El Mirador is an elevated point that offers spectacular panoramic views of La Macarena and the Guayabero River. From here, you can appreciate the immensity of the landscape, with its lush vegetation and the river meandering in the distance. It is an ideal place to learn about the different ecosystems and the history of La Macarena.
Caño Cristalitos, on the other hand, is a small representation of Caño Cristales but equally beautiful. Its clear waters and small natural pools surrounded by vegetation make it a perfect place to cool off.
WILDLIFE SPOTTING
Wildlife spotting in La Macarena is a fascinating experience, where the biodiversity of the region unfolds in all its splendor. Among the dense forests and rivers, it is possible to observe a great variety of species, from exotic birds such as macaws and toucans, to monkeys, turtles and, with luck, pink dolphins.
PADDLING IN THE LAGUNA DEL SILENCIO
The Laguna del Silencio is a place of absolute calm where the waters of Caño Cristales end. Surrounded by dense vegetation, morichales and home to numerous species of birds and aquatic fauna, this lagoon offers a perfect setting for contemplation and intimate contact with nature. Paddling through its calm waters is a serene experience, where only the song of birds and the whisper of the wind can be heard, honoring its name.
