ITINERARY

Day 1 - Caño Cristalitos:

The guide who will be with you throughout the tour of Caño Cristales will be waiting for you at the La Macarena airport where your adventure begins and will accompany you to leave your luggage at the hotel so that you can begin your tour of this day from Puerto Inderena, where you will take a boat that will take you along the Guayabero River for about 20 minutes to Puerto Cristalitos, and then walk for approximately 30 minutes and arrive at Caño Cristalitos, where you will enjoy a small river of crystalline waters with natural pools, ideal for resting and relaxing. There you will be served lunch in cold cuts, which consists of wrapped banana leaves. At the end of the day you will return to the hotel to have dinner and prepare for the second day.

Day 2 - Discovering Caño Cristales:

After having breakfast, you will go again from Puerto Inderena to Puerto Los Mangos, where you will board a 4x4 vehicle that will drive you for 40 minutes to the entrance of the trail to Caño Cristales. From this point the walk of this day begins. You will visit different attractions of this incredible river, visiting places like: Los Hoyos, Los Pianos, La Piscina del Turista, Los Cuarzos and El Paso de la Danta, among others. In the places indicated by the guide you will be able to face, swim, enjoy waterfalls and diverse unique natural environments, as well as observe the Macarenia Clavigera that fills this incredible river with colors.

Day 3 - Coloured crystals:

On this third day of our Caño Cristales tour the first part of the tour is done like the previous two days, but this time, the trail will take you to Pailones, where the Macarenias have a green color that you will want to see and of course photograph.
