Why should you go to these places in Colombia?
Justin says, "These locations are all extremely unique. Caño Cristales is unlike anything we've ever seen. It's full of colors, red, green and gold in the river. The area near Inírida called Mavecure is three giant hills. Just imagine something like if you took a half dome or El Capitan and just drop them in the middle of the rainforest, sticking up 2000 feet above. The forest area I was talking about has just thousands and thousands of the tallest palm trees in the world. They're all fairly close to Bogota."
Justin suggests an off-the-beaten-path itinerary in Colombia, visiting four unique destinations, all within 90 minutes by plane from Bogotá:
Suggested Itinerary:
Caño Cristales (La Macarena, Meta) – 3 days, 2 nights
Fly to La Macarena.
Visit Caño Cristales, the "Liquid Rainbow," famous for its vibrant red, green, and gold colors.
Explore petroglyphs, unique rock formations, and diverse wildlife.
Take hikes through the Serranía de la Macarena National Park.
