A 17-day route built around the parts of Colombia most visitors skip — the rock art and rivers around San José del Guaviare, the Llanos plains near Yopal, then a finish along the familiar Caribbean coast. This tour is entirely within Colombia, running from Bogotá into the Guaviare and Casanare regions before finishing along the Caribbean coast at Tayrona, La Guajira, and Cartagena.
