Llanos Intro Tour
​

overview

​Yopal is located right at the foot of the Eastern Andes and looking out into the Llanos, the perfect gateway to explore los Llanos - and this is the perfect "introduction tour" itinerary to get the most out of it in a short amount of time.

Catch your horse with a lasso and set out to explore savannas, gallery forests and waterholes in the Llanos -on foot if horses are not your fancy. Observe capybaras, white-tailed deer, herons, ibises, burrowing owls and keep your eyes peeled for anteaters and anacondas on a 4x4 wildlife safari across the prairies on the second day.
