6 Days Colombia Tour to Discover the Route of Alexander Von Humboldt

After having breakfast and loading the luggage, we leave the camp to move along the Orinoco River to the Maipures Visitor Center. From there, we take a walk of approximately 1.5 k.m. in the middle of the rocky outcrop to the Atarrayadero, to continue our fluvial journey to Puerto Inírida with an approximate time of five hours.
During this experience, we have the opportunity to see the mouth of the Vichada and Matavén Rivers in the Orinoco River. At the mouth of the Matavén River, we stop for lunch and take a refreshing bath and then continue our journey until we reach Castillito, a site where there is a monument to the Virgin of Coromoto, patron saint of Venezuela.
Later, we go to the Estrella Fluvial del Sur where the Orinoco, Guaviare, and Atabapo rivers meet. We continue navigating the Guaviare River until we reach the mouth of the Inírida River and then to Puerto Inírida. Being approximately 16:00, we go to the hotel to settle in, rest, and have dinner.

Day 4: Cerros De Mavecure (Mavecure Hills) – (B, L, D)

We will have breakfast at 06:30 and then we will travel by boat along the Inírida River, bound for the Cerros de Mavecure, rocky outcrops that are part of the Guyanese Shield, sacred to various ethnic groups. from the region such as the Puinaves, since they are home to several species of plants of cultural importance.
There, the El Remanso indigenous community is located in this area, where we set up our base camp. According to the weather conditions of the day, we will visit Cerro Mavecure, since if there is rain, the lichen on the rock makes it very slippery and prevents its ascent. In case of not climbing this hill, it will be postponed until the next day and in return, we carry out other activities with the inhabitants of the community, such as touring the savannah to admire the savannas of the Inírida flower or visiting and bathing in the Caño San Joaquín whose characteristic red wine color is due to the tannin of the tree leaves. At the end of the afternoon, we return to the camp for dinner and rest.

At the end of the afternoon, already settled in the hotel in Puerto Inírida, we will have dinner and rest.
