Description

Cerros de Mavecure

Deep in the Colombian Amazon jungle, the Cerros de Mavecure emerge imposingly over the Inírida River, creating a landscape of mystical beauty. These three millenary rock formations - Mavecure, Mono and Pajarito - are vestiges of the Guiana Shield, one of the oldest geological formations on the planet. Their access, only possible by river, turns the trip into a unique adventure among the exuberant biodiversity of Guainía. From its peaks, the view offers an unparalleled spectacle of the endless jungle, the meandering river and the golden sunsets. More than a destination, the Mavecure Hills are a deep connection with nature and the indigenous cosmovision, which considers them sacred and home to ancestral stories.
