Amazonía - Orinoquía Colombiana
The green heart of Colombia is a region of unparalleled diversity. From its millenary forests to the vast rivers that spread out, every corner invites you to discover its natural wealth. In the north, the virgin plains unfold an untamed landscape full of life, impregnated with the culture of the countryside. In the south, the unexplored jungles hold a universe of wonders: ancient petroglyphs, ancestral indigenous knowledge and living cultures that we must preserve and honor.
There are ten departments that make up the Colombian Amazon-Orinoquia: Casanare, Caquetá, Putumayo, Arauca, Guainía, Guaviare, Amazonas, Meta, Vichada and Vaupés. Only in these destinations can you experience the sublime of a millenary forest in contrast to a Colombian city. Discover how the culture of indigenous tribes is maintained in the middle of the lungs of the world.
