Inirida

DAY 1 • INÍRIDA

Upon your arrival at the airport, you will be greeted by local guides, who will drive you in Land Rover Safari vehicles to the hotel, where we will check in and enjoy a delicious lunch. Afterward, we will embark on a land excursion to the Kenke Ethno-Cultural and Ecological Park. In this fascinating place, we will have the opportunity to admire the Inírida flower in its natural habitat, an endemic resource of the region that blooms in the Amazonian savannas. This beautiful area is protected and cared for by an indigenous family, who, with great pride in their roots, will share their wisdom about the environment, culture, customs, and local cuisine. Additionally, we will be able to enjoy a spectacular sunset. Finally, we will return to the hotel for dinner and rest.

In the afternoon, we will depart upstream on the Inírida River heading towards the Mavecure Hills, impressive rock formations in the heart of the Amazon jungle, bordered by the winding river. We will arrive at the indigenous community of El Venado, where our camp is located: a comfortable, typical Maloca of the Curripaca culture, perfectly situated between the three hills and along the banks of the Inírida River. The camp offers accommodation with beds, camping areas, and hammock zones, permanent solar energy, bathrooms, kitchen, dining area, a beach, and wide gardens.

IMPORTANT NOTES

HOTELS

The hotels mentioned are for reference only; they are the most commonly used in this type of tour. However, when confirming services, it's important to note that other hotels of the same category may be confirmed.
Accommodation in a hotel in Inírida with shared rooms (for 2, 3, or 4 people) with a fan and private bathroom. The hotel is one of the best in the city of Inírida, offering a cafeteria, restaurant, laundry service, internet lounge, national and international phone service, and money transfer services.
Accommodation in tents or hammocks according to the itinerary (possible beds in our camp depending on availability).
Keep in mind that we will be staying in a very remote area. Our hosts will do everything within their reach to serve us as best as possible, considering the local conditions and culture.
Tourist infrastructure is practically non-existent in this destination. However, our stay will be at one of the best hotels in the city of Inírida.

ITINERARY AND VISITS

This itinerary may change due to road conditions, weather, unforeseeable factors, or availability at the time of booking.
It’s possible that the order of the itinerary may change, but the content will remain the same.
This is an adventure expedition to one of the most isolated and remote regions of the country. Tourism infrastructure is almost nonexistent. The participants should be prepared to walk under the sun, on rocky and sandy terrain of the Orinoquía savanna.
At the camping sites, there are no bathrooms or showers. A portable latrine will be installed, and you can bathe in the rivers (without using soap).
Please note that the use of single-use plastics is prohibited in areas of the National Natural Parks System designated for ecotourism, except for single-use plastics for medical purposes (due to hygiene and aseptic reasons). Only reusable items are allowed.
Please bring as few wrappers, cans, or glass containers as possible, and remember to take all non-biodegradable waste back with you. “If you bring it in your bag, it should come back in your bag.”
Do not bring military-style clothing (camouflage).
Do not bring or consume toxic substances, psychoactive or hallucinogenic substances, and refrain from excessive alcohol consumption.
Do not bring jewelry or valuable objects (please leave your Rolex and Cartier earrings at home).
During hikes, do not separate from the group, do not get ahead, and do not stay behind alone.
We travel as a group, so it’s essential to respect everyone’s differences. In common spaces—whether natural places like rivers, mountains, trails, or lakes, or in places like hallways, restaurants, and transportation—it’s important to be mindful of the need to respect both conversations and moments of silence. To ensure everyone can enjoy the trip, we must make certain concessions and adapt to others’ needs.
Smoking is allowed, but it’s essential to prioritize the group's comfort. Therefore, please avoid intruding on others' space with smoke and respect non-smokers.
