This is the ideal tour to experience some of the Llanos' most exciting fauna in a day. 
​Only 2 hours from Yopal, we traverse savannas dotted with lagoons and streams in a 4x4 vehicle. Interrupted by short explorations on foot, this tour is ideal for photo safaris. Large groups of hardly shy capybaras, the feeding of spectacled caimans, sighting deer and wild pigs as well as interesting Llanos birdlife and red-footed tortoises make for great photo motifs. Throw in ranch life, the odd cowboy, cattle herds, horses and a beautiful sunset and you'll get the picture.

This hike is the ideal introduction to the Llanos’ fauna, flora and culture. We will stalk the Llanos’ diverse wild and birdlife in savannas and gallery forests and enjoy the infinity of the prairies while listening to howler monkeys and exotic birds.
​

This mountain biking tour takes us on a journey to various farms on a circuit through the prairies. The circuit is our Camino del Vaquero, a community tourism project that involves small farms and locals. On the farms we'll sample local food, go for short hikes to discover wildlife in the gallery forests and savannas and learn about the locals' lifestyle.

This tour sees us climbing to the peak of Yopal via a tropical forest trek. From the summit "Cerro el Venado" we’ll have views of both the infinite Llanos plains to the east and of the Eastern Andes range to the west. The circuit finishes at a natural swimming pool with a waterfall – a well-deserved refreshment! 
​

This birding tour is the mountainous counterpart to our Llanos birding tour. Exploring the scenic and tropical Andean foothills on a number of light hikes and walks we discover birds from both ecosystems, Llanos and Andes: Various jacamars, capped herons, sunbittern, puffbirds, woodpeckers, toucans, chachalacas, hawks, kites, parrots, parakeets, thrushs and various tanagers.
​

The Llanos' vast savanna grasslands, wetlands and plenty of rivers and lagoons attract birdlife such as hoatzins, wire-tailed manakins, umbrellabirds, trogons, savanna hawks, slender hawks, tiger herons, scarlet ibises, buff-necked ibises, southern lapwings, burrowing owls, kingfishers, motmots, macaws, chachalacas, ani, jacamars and many more. We are going to explore the varied birdlife on walking excursions across private farms and treks about 30-40 minutes from Yopal.

A highlight of this tour is the visit to the "manakin forest", a gallery forest that is popular with the colourful wire-tailed manakins (lat: pipra filicauda).

La Indepedencia is a traditional Llanos farm of 600 ha 30 mins from Yopal. This riding trek combines cowboy feeling, prairies and wildlife watching. You can learn about the Llanos’ work, culture and fauna while the gentle Llano horses carry you across creeks and waterholes, savannas and tropical forests. We are also going to stalk some of the Llanos’ diverse bird and wildlife. 
​

This cycling tour is a great option for fans of climbing by bicycle and dust trek mountain biking – and it’s a scenic tour! The route follows unpaved roads into wild sceneries of palm forests, rivers and mountain ranges. Optional is an additional climb to a tucked-away waterfall and natural swimming pool.
​
Kilometers: 30-60

This hike takes an ancient route that the farmers take to get from the Andean highlands to the Llanos lowlands. The pristine views across the valley, the lush tropical forest, its many waterfalls and creeks make this hike one of our most popular routes. So does the natural Jacuzzi that we’ll discover tucked away in a waterfall – pack your swimmers!
​

This riding tour sends us on a voyage across two large farms of pristine natural sights, La Independencia and San Pedro, including spectacular experiences such as crossing lagoons, savannas and tropical forests by horse and a great chance to spot the Llanos’ bird and wildlife in the various ecosystems. We have lunch by Doña Marta at the farmhouse with views of the river stream frequented by spectacled caimans and hoatzins and finish the riding tour with a sundowner in the prairies.
​

This two and a half day plan is the ideal Llanos tour for wildlife enthusiasts and everyone looking to get a taste of the Llanos’ serene sceneries, diverse fauna and distinctive cowboy culture in the surroundings of Yopal. 

​We start our Llanos adventure on a traditional Finca Llanera setting out to explore tropical forests, prairies and waterholes, looking for exotic birdlife. You can chose between a horseback expedition or setting out on foot across the diverse sceneries. On the second day we traverse two ‘hatos’, large traditional ranches in the prairies, observing hundreds of capybaras, the world’s largest rodents, deer, spectacled caimans, tortoises and birdlife. The infinite Llanos sceneries and impressions of farm-life also give a real flavor of Colombia’s cowboy region.

This 3 days' horse trekking takes us on a journey across several farms, rich in flora and fauna. The trek provides three days of riding and discovering the local life in Los Llanos.
Soak in the Llanos’ sceneries, sunrises’ colours and the sounds of nature at night in the hammock and sample the local food across different farms, listen to tales and legends by the fire at night... an epic Llanos cowboy adventure. ​
