Sometimes called the “Crying Rocks of Mavecure”, these epic hills are spectacular to behold. The three mountains are called Pajarito (Little Bird), Mono (Monkey) and Mavicure and 2,336 ft, 570 ft, and 560 ft respectively. They can only be accessed by the river. You can climb most of them and get an amazing view of the surrounding jungle and rivers. If you are lucky and it rains, you will have the impression the rocks are crying. It is because of the waterfalls created through water accumulation in the vegetation spread on the rocks, needless to say this is absolutely mind blowing.
Caño Cristales, or the River of Five Colors, is one of Colombia’s best kept secrets. A spectacular river that’s located in La Macarena province of Meta, it’s a biological wonder that must be seen to be believed. For a brief period of time every year, the river blossoms in a vibrant explosion of colors. During the short span between the wet and dry seasons, when the water level is just right, a unique species of plant that lines the river floor called Macarenia clavigera turns a brilliant red. It is offset by splotches of yellow and green sand, blue water, and a thousand shades in between. Caño Cristales is located in a remote, isolated area not easily accessible by road. Adventurous tourists can now fly into the nearby town of La Macarena. From there it is a short trip into "Serrania de la Macarena," the national park in which Caño Cristales is located.
Capurgana, just off the coast of Panama, is one of Colombia’s hidden gems – isolated beaches that make a perfect escape for the adventurous traveler. Capurgana is the stuff travelers’ dreams are made of. There are enough activities to keep one busy in this area for quite a few days. Most travellers will find that three days is enough to see everything in the area. However, if you plan on spending a lot of time on the beach then perhaps plan a couple more days. Howling winds sweep the waves onto the shore, while locals simply kick back with some of the best seafood you’ll try. Paradise.
