Your adventure begins with a flight from Bogota to Yopal. Upon arrival, you will be picked up at Yopal airport and get ready for a 2-hour drive to the lodge in El Encanto de Guanapalo Reserve, stopping to grab a quick breakfast along the way. 

Your safari experience starts right away! Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife as the transfer makes it way to your lodging. Upon arrival, enjoy refreshments and settle into a hammock to take in the scenery or, if feeling more active and ready to stretch your legs, explore the surroundings on foot until lunchtime. In the afternoon, once the hottest part of the day has subsided, witness how wildlife becomes more active and explore the savannah and forest on foot or by jeep until dusk. If lucky, you may encounter a rich array of wildlife, from elusive critters to the iconic giant anteaters of the region. Let the rhythm of life in Llanos ground you as you explore its diverse ecosystems, from the sprawling savannahs to lush forest edges.

At dawn, when the sun begins to rise, take a walk to spot wildlife, which is most active during these early hours.

On an optional excursion, you can set off on a horseback adventure into the savannas and wetlands, keeping a lookout for diverse wildlife. The duration of this tour depends on your ability and interest, lasting up to four hours.

If horseback riding isn't appealing, opt for a jeep safari along the forest edges and waterholes. A 4WD vehicle lets you get close to a remarkable variety of wildlife in the expansive Llanos scenery, giving you a glimpse of the region's landscapes and culture.

Savor lunch at the farm's main house, then relax in a hammock, taking in the surroundings. In the late afternoon, continue the photo safari in a different part of the reserve, capturing the atmospheric golden hour. Experience a stunning prairie sunset before ending the day with a nocturnal drive back to the lodge, where you'll discover nocturnal species like maikongs, anteaters, and nighthawks.

Start the day with an early breakfast at the lodge before departing the nature reserve for the next destination: El Rancho del Llanerazo.

Experience a special treat with a private guided tour into the enchanting world of Seco Gualteros. Spend the day with an expert wildlife guide and master cowboy, gaining insights into the Llanos’ lifestyle, culture, and indigenous history. Enjoy home-grown foods, including a delicious home-cooked lunch with a view of the Pauto River, where howler monkeys frequent the treetops and iguanas bask on the shores. This tranquil paradise offers a genuine, off-the-beaten-path experience designed by the Gualteros family. Visiting this local family and their farm supports their livelihood and their dream of preserving and showcasing their region’s culture and history.

Travel to Finca La Candelilla takes about 50 minutes due to rough roads, but the scenic pastures, palm groves, and wetlands teeming with exotic birds make the journey worthwhile. Explore the most self-sustaining farm, shaded by mango trees, amidst banana plantations, cocoa trees, and citrus fruits. Discover flowers that attract hummingbirds and tropical vegetation, as well as a museum showcasing Llanos history and indigenous artifacts.

In the evening, arrive at Posada el Diamante for the night. Enjoy a memorable evening of Llanero music and dancing, an experience not to be missed.

In the morning prepare to be awakened by the howler monkey's dawn chorus. You can opt for an early morning walk to spot the howling noisemakers as well as other active wildlife.

After a delicious breakfast, take a 2-hour transfer to Casa Cumbres in Yopal. Your lunch will be served at the hotel. The property's pool terrace and gardens await for some relaxing time spent at leisure, photo swapping and reminiscing on the many great experiences in Los Llanos!

On your last day, After bidding farewell, you will be transported back to Yopal Airport for your flight to Bogota, carrying unforgettable memories of your Casanare Wildlife Safari adventure.
