Rio de Colores Tour in Caño Cristales, 4 days and 3 nights

Day 1

Knowing the Magic of the Lagoon of Silence

Depending on the time of arrival, you will have lunch in the town or in the village on a peasant farm, then we will arrive at the lnderena port to take a canoe that will take us for about 25 to 30 minutes on the Guayabero River to the village of La Cachivera. There we will take a horse or take a walk until we reach the peasant farm of Mr. Antonio Pinto, where we will begin the journey towards the Laguna del Silencio, a mirror of water that will steal our breath away. In this magical place we will start the tour in a foal (small canoe) where we will pass through the arches of the palm of moriche and visit the garcero. An incredible landscape that embraces us with its exotic fauna.
