Capital of Llanero Folklore
Yopal is the capital of Casanare. Founded by Boyacense settlers 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 landscapes. You’ll find traditional cattle ranches blending with wetlands where birds abound.
In the past, cattle ranching was the city's main spectacle, but conservation has now become a major priority. For this reason, locals strive to ecologically preserve valuable parts of the farms while also protecting other lands in the region.
