There, the El Remanso indigenous community is located in this area, where we set up our base camp. According to the weather conditions of the day, we will visit Cerro Mavecure, since if there is rain, the lichen on the rock makes it very slippery and prevents its ascent. In case of not climbing this hill, it will be postponed until the next day and in return, we carry out other activities with the inhabitants of the community, such as touring the savannah to admire the savannas of the Inírida flower or visiting and bathing in the Caño San Joaquín whose characteristic red wine color is due to the tannin of the tree leaves. At the end of the afternoon, we return to the camp for dinner and rest.

After breakfast, depending on the activities carried out the day before and following the indications of the local guides of the indigenous community of El Remanso, we go up to Cerro Mavecure. After having lunch, we start our journey back to Puerto Inírida, on which way we make a stop at the mouths of Caño Matraca to observe the freshwater dolphins (their sighting is not always achieved, remember that it is an unpredictable natural phenomenon). At the end of the afternoon, already settled in the hotel in Puerto Inírida, we will have dinner and rest.

After breakfast, we visit the indigenous community of Coco to see the petroglyphs or Caño Vitina depending on the time of year. Then, we will take a tour of the urban area of Puerto Inírida to have the opportunity to buy typical crafts of the region.
