El Putumayo is a department of Colombia located in the country’s southeast. Its strategic location over the Andes and the Amazonian region makes it a very especial place with a high biological and cultural diversity. Therefore, this region presents it self as an ideal place for nature and ancestral culture lovers.

We will, also, visit the Magdalena Strait and the impressive waterfalls of Bordones, where we will be able to contemplate the landscape and diversity that converges in this place. Afterwards, we will go to department of Putumayo where we will visit the Mandycaco Canyon, the city of Mocoa (Putumayos’s capital), and then, we will go into the jungle and get to know different rivers, falls and natural pools.

Another beautiful place are the natural falls, including the Bordones falls, an amazing waterfall of more than 400 meters high; no doubt one of the most astonishing natural landscape in southern Colombia.
