Ecotourism is a very viable alternative in our Colombian geography.
Recreation, tourism, adventure, ecology and pleasant recreation near our capital city.
There are also rivers, many and varied, and 35 cataloged species that we can admire in our tour.
By mid-1997 I discovered this route that although it does not imply any risk, if it gives many personal satisfactions at the end of the crossing.
