Yopal is the capital of Casanare. Founded by settlers from Boyaca in 1915, it is one of the youngest departmental capitals in Colombia. The area surrounding Yopal is a paradise for nature lovers and will captivate any photographer with its breathtaking scenery. You will find traditional cattle ranches that merge with wetlands where birds abound.
In the past, cattle ranching was the only show in town and conservation has become an important priority. Therefore, locals seek to ecologically preserve valuable parts of the farms in addition to safeguarding other lands in the area.
