Cities in Guaviare

Guaviare sits precisely where the vast, flat eastern plains begin to meld into the dense Amazon rainforest. Historically isolated, it has recently opened up to reveal some of Colombia’s best-kept archaeological and natural secrets, offering a fascinating combination of jungle wilderness and ancient human history.

Here, visitors can hike through mystical, labyrinth-like rock formations, swim in pink-hued rivers reminiscent of Caño Cristales, and stand in awe before massive cliffs adorned with tens of thousands of vivid, prehistoric rock paintings that date back thousands of years.
