Guayabero River
Río Guayabero
A large Amazon-basin river that encircles the town. It is the water route to the various reserves, and the riverside lookout is a good place to watch the sunset.
The Guayabero River is the upper course of the Guaviare River. The town dock, known as the Puerto, is the departure point for all trips to the Caño Cristales, the Caño Cristalito and the rapids. A lookout on the riverbank offers evening views of the sunset over the water and of the wooden boats passing by. Hoatzins, kingfishers and freshwater dolphins are sometimes seen from the boat. Restaurants and travel agencies cluster around the dock, where tour groups usually gather, and river crossing fees are often included in package tours.
