Los LLanos

​("Ya-NOHS")

Infinite prairies, mountain ranges, rivers, wildlife and cowboys – Colombia’s Eastern Plains, the Llanos, are still undiscovered by mainstream tourism and remain a true off-beat destination.

One of the world's richest tropical grasslands and geographically and culturally unique, the Llanos are a lesser known area of Latin America - despite their immense size of about 375,790 square kilometers spanning Colombian as well as Venezuelan territory.
Wildlife
Wetlands, large rivers, lagoons, palm groves and gallery forests nourish a wide array of wildlife: capybaras, anteaters, deer, jabirus, jaguars, pumas, the green anaconda, armadillos, Orinoco geese, howlers, caimans, capuchins, turtles, tortoises, ocelots, macaws, ibises, birds of prey and countless more.
​
​Culture

Jesuit missionaries arrived to the Llanos from the Sixteenth Century organizing vast territories as 'hatos', large-scale cattle farms, that ever since have been tightly linked to the region's 'cowboy lifestyle', music and traditions. Over the centuries, Spanish influences were adapted and transformed into the distinct Llanero culture, iconic on both sides of the border between Colombia and Venezuela.

We are based in Casanare 

Casanare is one of the "Llanos departments" of Colombia and gateway to the endless plains when arriving from the Eastern Andes. The department borders with the department of Boyacá to the west, the department of Meta to the south, Vichada to the east and Arauca to the north, spanning both Andean foothills and "Llanos", as the plains are called.

The province's capital city Yopal is strategically located just where the Andes meet prairies and an ideal starting point to explore the Llanos' fauna, sceneries and culture.
