The Jaguar's footsteps
Embedded Files
In the deepest part of the Amazon; there, where time and space take on another dimension; where human beings still walk to the rhythm of the jaguar's steps; where anacondas are still sailed in cosmic canoes, there is the Cananari River. All that remains is to appreciate the intangible, unimaginable purity of millenary times in a pure and pristine jungle. Here the westernized dynamics of accelerated concrete has not yet arrived, on the contrary, the river, the Cananari, carries its own slow but unstoppable rhythm, (like the serene Indian who paddles his canoe) meanders making its way through the mangrove, carrying the message of the beings of water, of the beings of the jungle, lives among the cachiveras, carries the message of the rock formations until its union of waters, that earthly cupulation of the beings of the river next to the Apaporis: there germinate the waterfalls of Jasa Tatú. Here sprout the men and women Jaguars of the Yurupari that fly like Macaws.

The itinerary is a starting point for the dynamics of the expedition. We have three purposes in the trip: One: Visit Caño Metales. Two: Visit the Tepuy of Morroco. Three: Visit the Apaporis. We developed these three purposes with respect to the biorhythmic dynamics of the territory and the indigenous community.

General Recommendations
Follow the guide's recommendations, follow the itinerary schedules, forget about your daily life and let yourself be impregnated by the natural beauty of the place. Connect your mind with the place and ask permission beforehand to Mother Nature to be in these sacred temples. Do not pick up stones or carry them, as they may disturb the spiritual environment of the place. Walk in silence and bring:
-A change of clothes for traveling on flights and ground travel.
A change of clothes for walking (long pants that become shorts, long-sleeved shirt or T-shirt, tennis or walking boots or sandals for river).
Change of clothes for sleeping (long pants that convert into Bermuda shorts, long-sleeved shirt or T-shirt, tennis or walking boots or river sandals).
-Toiletries (toilet paper, soap, toothpaste, etc).
-If you are vegetarian bring your own food for us to prepare there.
-Rubber boots
-Sandals
-Binoculars if you want to see birds. In Mitú we are going to look for the Cock of the Rock (Quietly!)
-Identity documents
-Personal medication
-Bathing suit
-Water bottle
-Sun hat
-Blocker, natural without chemicals. Or do not use.
-Insect repellent (we recommend taking teamina a week before the trip) (abundant).

-Regarding security, together with the local and environmental authorities, we coordinate with the National Army the permits and the places that can be visited for the visitor's peace of mind.
-The average temperature is 30 degrees Celsius and can reach up to 35 degrees with humidity.
-Some tours are done on unmarked trails. It is important to wear shoes with good grip and if possible a cane.
-Bathrooms are wooden rooms with septic tanks in rural areas and in the bush.
-Take thiamine 15 days before to prevent mosquito bites.

-The community (isolated tribe) lacks some specific elements that can be taken from Bogotá. If we ask them in advance, they can tell us their needs and maybe we can bring them the things they need. This is not mandatory.

Why Colombia Oculta?
Because we are conscious beings. We like to support native communities and we believe that tourism is one of the healthiest ways to grow the fair and solidary economy of the country. Because we weave relationships with indigenous communities and we like that the guides and people who collaborate with us are local and indigenous. But also whites, blacks, mestizos and people of all races. In the end we are all children of Mother Earth. Thank you for choosing us ;)
