CASCADA OJO DE DÍOS
Read moreThe Eye of God is a sacred place for the indigenous community of Los Pastos. The water, century after century, has pierced the rock to form this oval hole through which it passes, to fall 35 meters below in a natural pool, where you can bathe and be massaged wildly by the waterfall. A few minutes away, there is another waterfall and a succession of small pools and streams forming a natural bubbling bath (not for the cold!). For rappelling activities, check with a specialized agency such as Ecoturismo Putumayo.
MANDIYACO CANYON
Read moreThis 441 m long canyon is located north of Mocoa, where the Manda River flows into the Caqueta River (natural border between the departments of Cauca, Putumayo and Caqueta). Mandiyaco in the Inga language means "the river that commands". In these rocky formations, we can guess different animal silhouettes, drawn by the passage of the water. A nice walk of about ten minutes, with a suspension bridge from which you can take beautiful pictures. Don't get too close to the canyon, the rock is slippery, especially in case of rain.

PUEBLO BELLO AND NABUSIMAKE
Read morePueblo Bello is a predominantly Indian municipio located at an altitude of 1,200 meters, with a pleasant climate. It is the gateway to the territory of the Arhuacos in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Its name honors its fauna and flora that can be appreciated in the Buzintana botanical garden created by the Arhuaca community. Pueblo Bello is reached by a road in good condition in 1 hour and a half by colectivo (about $15,000 per person). The excursion can easily be done by the day. Nabusimake, "the place where the sun is born," is a 2.5-hour jeep ride from Pueblo Bello, at an altitude of 1,800 meters. The village is the spiritual center of the Arhuacos. It is possible and even recommended to stay overnight in Nabusimake, in one of the traditional Baharek houses. There you will see the famous Arhuaca mochilas (traditional beige bags with brown, grey and black patterns, made of sheep's wool, cotton and fique). A lot of coffee is produced in this mountainous region, and the landscapes are very beautiful. It is more interesting and practical to visit the Indian villages accompanied by a local guide. In any case, this should always be done with the greatest respect for the communities visited: do not take pictures of the people without their permission, for example, or buy locally produced handicrafts rather than making donations so as not to encourage begging, especially among children.

MUSANGO TOURS
Read moreAlbert loves the wildlife of his region: the Choco is teeming with birds, insects, mammals, reptiles... but also amphibians, Albert's favorite.

You'll see scorpions, lobsters and the fascinating kinkajou. With its monkey or possum-like appearance, this mammal with two big round eyes is an arborealist. Look up, it's pretty easy to see!

Read moreThe Valley of the Xilópalos offers a beautiful 3-hour round trip hike, less frequented than the other sites of the Tatacoa.

CERRO AZUL
Read moreCerro Azul de Guacari", also known as "Piedra de Guacari", is an emblematic rock formation guarding prehistoric paintings that have become the region's archaeological treasure trove. Nicknamed the "Lascaux of Amazonia" by the French, Cerro Azul is home to a heritage that is, to say the least, unique in the world: (re)discovered by the scientific community from the 1950s onwards, the oldest remains found on the site date back 12,000 years! This makes Cerro Azul one of the oldest artistic sites in Latin America.
