Cities in Casanare
Casanare is a vast, largely untamed territory of immense plains that stretch as far as the eye can see. Acting as a transition zone between the Andes and the deep Orinoquía, this is Colombia's rawest safari destination. The land is dictated by dramatic wet and dry seasons, shaping the life of the llanero (plainsman) and the spectacular wildlife that inhabits it.
Here, ecotourism relies on witnessing nature in its purest form. Expeditions across the flooded savannas will bring you face-to-face with wild cattle, anacondas, giant anteaters, caimans, and a staggering variety of birdlife, making it a dream for photographers and nature enthusiasts.
