Flights usually arrive around midday, so the main activity in the afternoon will be a visit to Kenke, a territory inhabited by an Indigenous family. There, we will enjoy a traditional regional lunch prepared by the local community, followed by an interpretive walk through the jungle.

During the hike, we will learn about the different types of traps used by local communities for hunting and fishing, as well as the remarkable diversity of plants found in this ecosystem, including the iconic Inírida flower and its traditional uses.

If the river level allows it, we will enjoy a refreshing swim in its orange-colored waters in the afternoon. At the end of the day’s activities, we will watch the sunset, have dinner, and spend the night there.

Early in the morning, we will travel upriver toward the Estrella Fluvial, a place of global significance where the Guaviare, Inírida, Atabapo, and Orinoco rivers converge. Here, we will witness the striking contrast between the black and white waters meeting at this point.

We will then continue toward Maviso, where we can enjoy a swim in the red waters of the Atabapo River and relax on its beautiful white-sand beaches. Around midday, we will cross to Amanaven, in the Vichada department, to enjoy a traditional regional lunch.

After lunch, we will begin a three-hour journey along the Inírida River until the imposing Mavecure Hills appear on the horizon. Along the way, it will be possible to spot a variety of bird species and, with some luck, observe the dance of the pink river dolphins, known locally as toninas.

Upon arrival, we will visit the Indigenous community of El Remanso or El Venado, where we will spend the night in cabins or, if river conditions allow, have the option to camp on the golden river beaches.

In the late afternoon, we will be able to swim in the river and take in the vastness of the jungle beneath the majestic presence of the hills. Afterwards, we will share dinner with the local community as they teach us the traditional processes used to prepare casabe, mañoco, starch, and catara, all derived from bitter cassava—an essential ingredient in Amazonian cuisine.

Note: Camping on river beaches is only possible from December to April. At other times of the year, camping is done within the Indigenous community.

On the morning of the third day, we will begin the ascent to Cerro Mavecure along a beautiful trail surrounded by the scents of the rainforest and unique vegetation. The peaceful atmosphere and the energy of the place make this hike a tranquil experience, deeply connected to nature.

Upon reaching the summit, we will enjoy an extraordinary view of the Amazon rainforest and the neighboring hills —El Mono and El Pajarito— an ideal setting for contemplation, meditation, and receiving the ancestral energy of these sacred mountains.

After the descent, we will take a boat toward Caño San Joaquín, where we can relax on its white-sand beaches and enjoy a swim in its wine-colored waters. Afterwards, we will have lunch in the Indigenous community and, in the afternoon, learn about the preparation of casabe, mañoco, and catara, traditional foods made from poisonous cassava through ancestral techniques.

We will end the day with a delicious dinner and a well-deserved rest.

Our fourth day will begin with a calm and relaxed breakfast. Afterward, we will start a three-hour hike through the magnificent Amazon rainforest, accompanied by an Indigenous guide who will introduce us to the shapes, vibrant colors, and characteristic aromas of the region’s seeds and fruits. Along the trail around Cerro Pajarito —the largest of the three hills— we will have the opportunity to taste some of these fruits as we walk through different paths.

At the end of the hike, we will arrive at the Inírida River rapids, located between the Mono and Pajarito hills. There, our boat will be waiting to take us to Caño San Joaquín, where we can cool off in its orange-tinted waters and enjoy its white-sand beaches.

After this activity, we will return to the Indigenous community of El Remanso or El Venado for lunch. Later, we will continue by boat toward the town of Inírida, making a stop at Caño Matraca to observe the toninas (Amazon river dolphins). If the water level allows, we will also enter Las Brujas Lagoon, where we can enjoy another swim and take in a spectacular sunset.

At the end of the day, we will arrive in Inírida, where we will have dinner and settle once again into a hotel in town to rest.

Depending on the flight departure time and the season, we will carry out one of the following activities:

1.Visit to the Laguna de las Brujas (Witches’ Lagoon).
2. Visit to the petroglyphs in the Coco Indigenous community.
3. Swim in Caño Vitina.
4. Visit to El Paujil Market.

Once the activity is finished, we will head to the airport to board the return flight to Bogotá.

End of the trip!

If the return flight is scheduled to depart before 12:00 p.m., the activity will start earlier in the morning and lunch for this day will not be included.
Flight duration Inírida – Bogotá: 1.5 hours

Note:
We recommend that travelers pack only the essentials and carry them in a small backpack. If you organize your belongings well, you can easily transport everything in a 10 kg carry-on backpack on the plane. This recommendation is important because each day we will be moving between different locations, getting on and off boats and vehicles, and a large suitcase can be inconvenient for these transitions. Ideally, you should bring a backpack that you can carry on your back and that does not take up too much space. You don’t need to bring much for this trip—only what is listed below:
+ A small backpack.
+ Clothing for mild weather, including one pair of long pants and a long-sleeve shirt.
+ A light sweater or jacket.
+ A poncho-style rain cover.
+ Swimsuit.
+ Small towel.
+ One pair of shoes and sandals, or two pairs of shoes.
+ Cap or hat.
+ Sunglasses.
+ Flashlight.
+ Insect repellent.
+ Sunscreen.
+ Reusable water bottle (1 liter).
+ Personal hygiene items and any necessary medications.
+ Large bags for packing clothes and trash.

This trip is ideal for travelers of all ages who enjoy nature. The only activity of moderate difficulty is the ascent to Mavecure Hill, which takes approximately one hour and involves a 300-meter elevation gain. Those who prefer not to do this hike can relax on the beach, enjoy the river, or spend time with the local Indigenous community. It is a flexible and inclusive experience, perfect for travelers who want to connect with the Amazon rainforest at their own pace.

Our guides and boat operators are deeply knowledgeable about the region and fully committed to traveler safety. All river journeys are carried out during daylight hours, ensuring optimal visibility. In addition, we have an active medical assistance policy, and all boats are equipped with life jackets for every passenger.

We also carry communication equipment to maintain constant contact and coordinate an evacuation if necessary. Your safety is our top priority throughout the entire experience.
