A long time after Pangaea’s fragmentation, when continents formed the earth the way we know it nowadays, Guyana Shield lands settled in northern Abya Yala. It stablished the basement of a wide range of sedimentary elevations and alluvial areas. Over millions of years the region got the name of Guaviare, just there, where Amazon, Orinoco and Andes meet.

An ancient family coming depth from the jungle lived in this region different from any other more than 12.000 years ago. They left behind an enigmatic heritage in Palaeolithic art made on rocks with different shapes, surrounded by coloured rivers, natural pools, waterfalls, lakes and a lush biodiverse tropical forest.

More recently, families from the jungle as well as from various horizons have inhabited these lands leaving their marks, setting a syncretic identity.

Vive Guaviare, a unique experience of landscapes, traditions and exchanges.

Choosing a time to travel

Our gates never close; you just set the date!

Roughly speaking, here goes an explanation to allow you planning your trip:

There are two seasons all over the year: summer, also called dry season and winter or rainy season.

Summer begins ending November or early December with dwindling rains increasing droughts between January and February. Sometimes it never rains for weeks in a row when temperatures are at their highest, 93º F (34º C) or more.

By coming in summer time, you should know some attractions as waterfalls or natural pools are gradually affected by drought. Coloured rivers attractions are closed between December and May.

Winter arrives towards March with rains gradually increasing water levels between April and May, with its biggest moments in June. Time for floods remaining until July. Lowest temperatures over the year have been recorded in this period, 36º F (22º C).

In the rainy season is possible to visit all the attractions. Even if it rains in a regular basis, it does not mean it rains every days all day long. Just remember: magnificence and visits of coloured rivers are only possible from May or June.

Veranillo is a “little-summer”-called period appearing around August. It is about some sunny weeks refreshed with sporadic rainfall.

During September and October, sunny days alternate with rainy ones.
