Caqueta / Florencia

- Map
Caqueta, where the gold is green, is the department where the Andes mountains and the Los Llanos lowlands transform themselves into the ‘lungs of the world’, ‘the biggest nature reserve of this planet’, also called the Amazon. A department full of natural mysteries. In the northeast we have the Cordillera Oriental, in the northwest the lowlands of the Yarí area and in the south the rainforest of the Amazon. This makes Caqueta to a very divers department full of endemic Flora and Fauna species.
Our packages usually start in Florencia, the capital of Caqueta and the only city of importance. From here there are many possibilities. Some interesting destinations around Florencia are the typical villages of Morelia, Belen, San José and Doncello, the mytical lake ‘Laguna del Chaira’ or the many crystal clear rivers and streams. For the adventurers we can organize expeditions over the Orteguaza river until Solano or over the Caqueta river until Araracaura. All packages are custom made.
Very special packages can be organized from Araracuara. There goes only 1 flight every week with Satena another option is flying with a cargo plane from Villavicencio. At Araracuara streams the immense Caqueta River through a canyon with cliffs on both sides. Such an impressive show that this on itself already makes the trip worth it. But from here there are more adventurous trips possible. We can go down the whole Caqueta river to La Pedrera, or we can go up the Yari River for the flora, fauna and the local Indian communities. For the real adventurers we can also organize a program over the Yari Rivier to visit the Nature Park Chiribiquete. A park full of flora, fauna, rivers and the famous tepuy's that rise out of the jungle.
Important: Florencia and its surroundings are considered adventurous traveling, but we can also offer this tour very comfortable as well. There are direct flights from Bogota and there are some very good hotels around. But as soon as we traveler further into the department, over the for example above mentioned rivers, the program is full of adventure. Especially if you choose a program to Araracuara and/or NP Chiribiquete. A yellow fever vaccination is obligatory in this region and if we go into the jungle you are advised to pack the same items as on the packing list used for the regions in Vaupes and the Amazon.
