In contrast to the other regions of Colombia, the Colombian Orinoquia reveals its own range of natural wonders and dazzling biodiversity. Here, the plains meet the Amazon rainforest and the Andean forests, creating a mosaic of vibrant ecosystems. The lush fauna includes everything from the imposing anaconda to the gentle honey bear. The flowing rivers during the rainy season flood the low savannahs, serving as a home and refuge for a wide variety of wildlife, creating ecosystems unique to the region, such as the esteros and morichales.
The ideal time to explore Casanare is during the dry season, from December to March. Clear skies, open trails, and thriving wildlife make this the perfect moment for unforgettable adventures — from horseback expeditions across the plains to river safaris and sunset wildlife watching. It’s when the Colombian savannah truly comes to life.
