Situated just east of the Andes in Colombia, the Los Llanos is a vast grassland plain. These seasonally flooded lowlands cover almost half the country and boast archaeological treasures, natural wonders, and beautiful views. The Los Llanos teems with abundant wildlife - over 100 species of mammals and reptiles, and over 700 species of birds have their home here (including some of the most endangered species on earth). However, for many travellers, the undeniable highlight here is the multicoloured Cano Cristales river network, within the Parque Nacional Natural Sierra de La Macarena. Visit a local hacienda, try horse riding or piranha fishing, or take guided hikes. Don’t miss the opportunity to make use of the wide selection of safari-style game drives on offer.
