San José del Guaviare

The city of San Jose Del Guaviare is located in the south-south-east of Bogotá. It is accessible by bus (about 10h) or by plane (about 1h). Long considered a stronghold of the FARC, this destination is gradually opening to the public for our greatest pleasure. Indeed, the area has a lot to offer.

San Jose Del Guaviare and its surroundings contain many natural and cultural treasures. Here are a few examples of what you can do in this beautiful area:

Discover cave paintings thousands of years old,
Pink Dolphin Watching
Swim in natural pools dug into the bed of a watercourse.
Passing through the gate of Orion, come to admire Caño Sabana, a pink river also called the small Caño Cristales.
Enjoy the spectacular sunsets over the Guaviare River
Admire the forest as far as the eye can see

The city of San Jose Del Guaviare is not beautiful but the authenticity is intact. I advise you to choose an agency to visit this area. Most of the sites are only accessible by 4×4 and you need a complete knowledge of the territory to get there. Moreover, you will enjoy the experience and the stories that your guide will tell you.
