HERITAGE SECRETS BETWEEN THE AMAZON JUNGLE AND THE LLANO
Land of jungle and ancestral cultures, San José del Guaviare is consecrated at the geographical point where the Amazon and the Orinoquía converge, for you to explore and be amazed by a territory that keeps archaeological secrets in scenarios that manifest our ancient past represented through reddish mineral pigments and figures, showing scenarios where humans interact with animals and their environment. This town shares fragments of what is considered the oldest land on the planet, such as the Serranía del Chiribiquete and is part of the Guayanés shield, known as the right lung of the world, where its geological structure is covered by the largest unaltered tropical forest mass in the world. In addition, the natural landscape includes spectacular settings full of green, colored waters and giant rock formations, that reunite oral tradition of the indigenous people still present in the territory and who have passed on their knowledge through gastronomy, festivities and crafts to the current generations and inhabitants of this Emerging Destination of heritage and peace.
