Hato La Aurora Extension

After breakfast, we will enjoy a short hike to the Hato La Aurora, just an hour and a half away from the hotel. This is one of the main attractions in the area as it is the model for coexistence between the local wildlife, vegetation and traditional cattle herds. We will head out in a 4x4 jeep or by horse, whichever you choose! We will be able to see capybaras, white-tailed deer, alligators, cattle, wild horses, wild pigs, and many native bird species, such as the Aruco, Garzones, herons, curlews, owls, guereres and the ibis. We will then head to an original ranch-house where we can appreciate the everyday activities of the ranchers. We will then enjoy a traditional lunch, sampling various kinds of meat with cheese, rice and plantains. After a short rest, we will head back to the hotel. In the evening, we will enjoy a traditional folklore demonstration with harps, poems and traditional folk songs where we can learn all about the different myths and legends of the area.

After a hearty breakfast, we will set out on horseback to ride through the lands of the Hato, and take part in all the farm's associated activities and literally spend the day as a cowboy!  If you prefer, there is the option to walk or ride on the trails near the hotel and learn about the different native plant varieties and some of their traditional uses. There will also be the opportunity to spot birds and howler monkeys, which live in the area. In the afternoon, we can go fishing for a relaxing and fun activity.

Our final day will see us heading back to the Yopal airport for your flight to Bogotá. Upon arrival, we will take you to your hotel and say our final goodbyes!

*  Hato La Aurora does not have WiFi or hot water, so this is the perfect digital detox and an opportunity to get back to nature!
