There is something very special about being perched in a four or six seater propeller aircraft and flying over the vast savannas of South America's Llanos Orientales to reach a remote natural reserve of pristine wilderness and wildlife: the legendary Hato La Aurora. This journey is a text book example of a bush adventure and provides a unique perspective of one of Colombia's wildest places. Not to mention the sensation of flying in a small Cessna: the rattling, the engine roaring, the wind in your hair, the tingling sensation when it tilts, the faint smell of kerosene!
![]() The term "Colombian Safari" was first coined at Hato La Aurora, Colombia's biggest privately owned natural reserve and Casanare's pioneering tourism project. Juan Solito lodge caters for visitors on-site and willy jeeps and horses ensure one gets even to the remotest corners inside this 18,000 hectare reserve and catches a glimpse of some seriously stunning and impressive wildlife including anacondas, capybaras, scarlet ibises, deer, wild boars, ocelots and many more - a true adventure and a good one if planned right. Here are 5 reasons why it can be beneficial to book a trip though us rather than venture out on your own or wondering how to get to La Aurora. A habitant of South America's rainforests and swamps the anaconda can be found easiest in the Llanos, which, for most parts, are more accessible to humans than the dense Amazon rainforest. Dry season (January through March) is best to locate the anaconda, as anacondas have less water and swamps to hide, and so we set out to find it. Here's a short insight report to the reptile's habits, habitats and the myths it has evoked over time.
