Casanare: endless plains and untamed nature
The heart of the Colombian plains
Casanare is one of those places where the horizon has no end and life beats to the rhythm of nature. Its wide-open landscapes, cattle ranching tradition, and llanero culture make this department a unique destination for travelers seeking disconnection, adventure, and authenticity.
Horseback riding and llanero culture
Riding a horse across the vast plains is one of the most authentic experiences you can have in Casanare. Each ride is a reconnection with cowboy traditions and the deep bond between man, animal, and land.
Wildlife and flora in freedom
The department is a paradise for nature lovers: capybaras, deer, herons, anacondas, and river dolphins coexist in wetlands and savannas. Birdwatching is another of its great attractions, with hundreds of species painting the llano skies in color.
Flavors of the plains
Gastronomy is a fundamental part of the experience: mamona (barbecued beef llanero-style), tungo de arroz, and guarapo are flavors that tell the story of the region’s simple and flavorful life.
