Caño Cristales Excursion

On this tour from La Macarena, you'll discover the Caño Cristales, a 7-colour river located in Colombia's jungles.

Day Trip Details

We'll pick you up from La Macarena airport at the scheduled time. Afterward, we'll head to the city's riverport to start our speed boat ride on the Guaybero River, which lasts approximately 20 minutes. Upon arrival at Los Mangos harbour, we'll travel by 4x4 jeep for about 40 minutes to the Sierra de la Macarena checkpoint. The hiking route to Caño Cristales, lasting variable times based on the group's pace, begins here.

During the hike, we will see various natural wells and swimming pools, including Ochos, Pianos, Piscina del Turista, and Tapete. There will be a short break to enjoy a swim in nature. The hike concludes at the famous Caño Cristales, known for its stunning colours: blue, pink, green, red, yellow, and black.

We'll stop to enjoy a lunch outdoors, featuring various cold meats wrapped in banana leaves. After lunch, we will return on foot to the start of the hiking trail, travel back to Los Mangos by jeep, and then take a speed boat back to La Macarena. We expect to arrive at La Macarena airport around 5 pm.

Pre-Tour Chat

Note that visiting Caño Cristales is not allowed on the same day of your arrival in La Macarena, as attendance at an obligatory talk by the National Parks staff is required.

We will keep you informed about the schedule for both the talk and the tour start time.
