Summary
After our flight to Bogatá, we begin our tour with two nights in Restrepo, where we will explore the transition zone between the foothills of Colombia’s eastern Andes and the low-lying Llanos. We then move to the heart of the Llanos region, where our base for 6 nights is a simple but comfortable ecolodge set within the 17,000-hectare Hato La Aurora ranch. The lodge is an ideal base for wildlife watchers, with a vast swathe of wetlands, grasslands, gallery forest and the Ariporo river on its doorstep. From this base, we will mostly explore by open safari truck, focusing our efforts on the early mornings and evenings when Jaguars are most active. Other mammals present include Lowland (Brazilian) Tapir, Giant Anteater, Southern Tamandua, both Neotropical and Giant River Otters, White-tailed Deer, Crab-eating Fox, Capybara, Crab-eating Racoon, Collared Peccary and Black Agouti. Birds will also be on the menu (the reserve has a bird list of over 380 species), especially during periods when mammal-spotting is quiet, and a selection of reptiles include Green Anaconda and Orinoco Crocodile. Of the birds, numbers of egrets, herons, ibis and duck are noteworthy, and we’ll enjoy encounters with specialities such as Hoatzin and Horned Screamer.
