The result is a breathtaking display of rock carvings etched by the water's passage. As you navigate the water, be prepared to witness a diverse array of wildlife & picturesque landscapes. Following the boat excursion, embark on a hike along the Miradores trail. Here, you'll encounter ancient petroglyphs & have the option to continue your exploration towards the city of Piedras or the Aguas Claras trail (availability subject to confirmation the night prior determined by local authorities). Enjoy a swim, savor a delicious lunch, then return to your hotel. The return journey to La Macarena involves a combination of horseback riding and a scenic boat trip.
