The rainbow that fell from the sky, Caño Cristales

Discover the magic of La Macarena and the Meta

Get ready to discover a place where nature has truly outdone itself. La Macarena is not just a destination; it's a mystical haven where the water bursts into vibrant colors and nature embraces you with an energy that leaves you speechless. It's that corner of our heartland, where time stands still, allowing you to admire life bursting forth in every corner. What an amazing place!

What's the plan?

This is the dream destination for adventure and nature lovers. Here, the plan is to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with the earth:

  • Be amazed by the explosion of colors of the Macarenia clavigera while walking along Caño Cristales.
  • Navigate the Guayabero River while spotting an incredible number of birds and magical sunsets.
  • Hike the trails of the Angosturas Rapids, feeling the power of the water and the majesty of its carved petroglyphs.

The best way to get there is by plane: Reaching this paradise is a breeze if you fly with SATENA. It connects you directly to the heart of Meta:

  • From Bogotá: Get on it! Flights run from June 5th to November 15th. It's the perfect time because the river is at its most vibrant and beautiful.
  • From Villavicencio: If you're already in the plains, we depart every Monday and Friday. It's the ideal excuse for a weekend getaway and to return refreshed.

Mini Tips:

  • What to pack: Take advantage of the 15kg of checked baggage included to pack your trekking boots, quick-drying clothes, and a good waterproof jacket (because the weather in La Macarena is unpredictable). You also have 10kg of carry-on baggage so your camera and binoculars are always with you and you don't miss a single detail of the landscape.
  • Souvenirs: Don't leave without supporting our people. Buy wooden handicrafts or textiles made by local communities; These are little pieces of Colombia that help keep tourism driving the region's economy.
  • Onboard Experience: To get you settled in from the air, I recommend listening to a playlist of great Joropo music or reading about the history of the Serranía de la Macarena.
  • Remember that web check-in is free, so do it from home to arrive at the airport relaxed. And if you have a small dog or cat, bring them along! We welcome your pets in the cabin to make your adventure complete.

The Must-Do: You can't leave La Macarena without sitting down to eat an authentic Macarena dish. It's the taste of the plains in your mouth—a total delight!

Don't think twice, the river of seven colors is waiting for you. Buy your tickets now and experience the magic of La Macarena!
