Commence your Bogota adventure by independently reaching the airport for your flight to La Macarena, which takes approximately 1 hour. Be prepared for an early presentation time, possibly as early as 5:00 am*. Upon your arrival at La Macarena airport, a FlashpackerConnect guide/representative will warmly welcome you. Following this, engage in an informative session with a representative from the National Park Sierra de la Macarena, featuring a video presentation and talk. Subsequently, you'll be transferred to your hotel for check-in.
Today's expedition takes you to Caño Cristalitos, a smaller branch of the Caño Cristales river. Here, you'll have the unique opportunity to witness a conservation project dedicated to local wildlife and gain insights into the rich cultural heritage of the region. Lunch will be served by the river, emphasizing environmental responsibility by utilizing banana leaves for packaging, ensuring no waste enters the parks.
Post-lunch, return to La Macarena for a well-deserved rest before an evening meal. Tonight's dinner will be at a local restaurant in the company of your guide, who will accompany you during all excursions and meals.
Important to note, your flight itinerary will be sent to you approximately one week before your reservation. Additionally, be aware that La Macarena, despite its remote Amazonian setting, offers comfortable accommodations with basic amenities, and most establishments do not provide hot water.
