The people are charming, with their gastronomy rich in fish and their folk festivals.

For example, you could visit the Maloca of the last nomadic tribe in Colombia, the Nukak Maku, or you could enjoy a spectacular evening in the Tuc\u00e1n del Oriente community.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nFestivals: the season with the most tourism in San Jos\u00e9 del Guaviare is during the summer festivals, which are celebrated in February. There is also the Yurupari festival, which consists of celebrations of the folklore of the Colombian plains with &#8220;Joropo&#8221; (traditional music and dance from the Orinoquia region in Colombia).<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What to do outside San Jos\u00e9 del Guaviare?<\/h3>\n<p>You would not believe the number of things that you can do close to San Jos\u00e9 del Guaviare. This really is a hidden gem of Colombia that is full of things to see and do that we feel will definitely become popular with tourists in the near future.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Tranquilandia y Ca\u00f1o Sabana<\/h4>\n<p>One of the most popular tourist attractions in San Jos\u00e9 del Guaviare is unquestionably this magical river. You may have heard of the 5-coloured river Ca\u00f1o Cristales &#8211; this river is just as breathtaking but much less touristy and expensive. The pink colour of this river is due to an endemic plant called the Macarenia clavigera.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nThis marvelous plant, exclusively found in Colombia, only grows between June and December, making these the best months to visit the river. From the center of San Jos\u00e9 del Guaviare it only takes about 20 minutes, and there are plenty of tourist agencies that offer guided tours; you can also take a taxi, if you would prefer to travel on your own steam.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_12607\" style=\"width: 1450px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12607\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12607\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/san_jose_tranquilandia_river7-1.jpg\" alt=\"Tranquilandia and Ca\u00f1o Sabana, view from the top shot with drone\" width=\"1440\" height=\"810\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/san_jose_tranquilandia_river7-1.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/san_jose_tranquilandia_river7-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/san_jose_tranquilandia_river7-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/san_jose_tranquilandia_river7-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-12607\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Jos\u00e9 del Guaviare &#8211; Tranquilandia<\/p><\/div>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Door of Orion<\/h4>\n<p>This incredible stone is 12 meters in height and can be found quite close to Tranquilandia, so you could combine a visit to both places in one trip. From this vantage point, you can look through this Door and see a beautiful panorama of the savanna. This natural setting is really peaceful. The only thing is that the path to get to the Door of Orion isn&#8217;t very well marked, so it may be better to go as part of a guided tour.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_12585\" style=\"width: 1450px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12585\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/san_jose_puerta_de_orion2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Puerta de ori\u00f3n landscape\" width=\"1440\" height=\"810\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12585\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/san_jose_puerta_de_orion2-1.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/san_jose_puerta_de_orion2-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/san_jose_puerta_de_orion2-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/san_jose_puerta_de_orion2-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-12585\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Jose del Guaviare &#8211; Door of Orion<\/p><\/div>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Las Delicias Waterfall<\/h4>\n<p>A beautiful waterfall hidden between caves.

From there, you can start on the path that will take you to the Natural Pools, a magical place full of what look like the traces of tiny meteorites. These pools are filled with water containing minerals that change the colour of the water to yellow, terracota orange and even black.  The largest pool is deep enough for you to dive from a tall rock on the lip of the pool. So, if you&#8217;d like to relax on a hot day, don&#8217;t forget about these wonderful pools that are located in such a memorable setting.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_12569\" style=\"width: 1450px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12569\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12569\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/san_jose_pozos_naturales5-1.jpg\" alt=\"Pozos Azules view from the top shot with drone\" width=\"1440\" height=\"810\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/san_jose_pozos_naturales5-1.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/san_jose_pozos_naturales5-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/san_jose_pozos_naturales5-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/san_jose_pozos_naturales5-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-12569\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Jos\u00e9 del Guaviare &#8211; Natural Pools<\/p><\/div>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>City of Stone<\/h4>\n<p>The same road that brought you to the Natural Pools also takes you to the City of Stone, about 20 minutes further on. This is an enigmatic site that almost looks to be the ruins of a great and ancient city, but no, according to experts, these ruins are actually natural rock formations that date from the Precambrian era. The City of Stone offers an almost surreal experience that has been described as an ideal location for meditation, thanks to the complete peace that reigns in this beautiful place.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Bridges of Stone<\/h4>\n<p>The Bridges of Stone are also natural formations of rock that are impressive. This is also the easiest place listed so far to visit from San Jos\u00e9, as all it takes is a visit to the Pica Piedra restaurant on the same road entering San Jos\u00e9. There, you can enter for less than 1 USD, take a refreshing bath in the stream and, of course, follow the path that takes you to the spectacular Bridges. This hike takes about 30 minutes.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_12575\" style=\"width: 1450px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12575\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/san_jose_puentes_naturalez_map-1.jpg\" alt=\"Puentes Naturales path map\" width=\"1440\" height=\"810\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/san_jose_puentes_naturalez_map-1.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/san_jose_puentes_naturalez_map-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/san_jose_puentes_naturalez_map-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/san_jose_puentes_naturalez_map-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-12575\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Jos\u00e9 del Guaviare &#8211; natural Bridges of Stone<\/p><\/div>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Black Lagoon<\/h4>\n<p>There&#8217;s no question that the Black Lagoon is a must-see. This adventure requires that you take a taxi ride of 20 minutes (about 7 USD) to a house where they operate a transportation service on the river to the Black Lagoon &#8211; don&#8217;t worry, your taxi driver will know where this is! The Black Lagoon reflects the sky in a unique way that on particularly quiet days, is heavenly.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nThe name &#8220;Black Lagoon&#8221; is due to its black colour, or, as some locals say, because of a supposedly high number of &#8220;guidos&#8221; (constricting snakes) that live in the lagoon (though this may just be a visual effect of dry leaves that have accumulated on the bottom of the lagoon. Regardless, this rumour hasn&#8217;t stopped locals and tourists alike from enjoying a swim and hang out, and &#8211; why not? &#8211; get some free ichthyotherapy from the many littel fish that will nibble the dead skin from your feet.

There are more than 8 sites, such as the villages La Pizarra, Nuevo Tolima, Cerro Azul, Los Alpes, Raudal del Guayabero, and others in the province of Guaviare, such as the famous Chibiriquete mountain range. In this text, we&#8217;ll discuss some of the closest and most visited of the above-mentioned villages.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nCerro Azul (or, &#8220;Blue Mountain&#8221;) has to be one of the most popular places to visit near to San Jos\u00e9 del Guaviare, despite its difficult access and expensive cost. First, the road is not in good condition, so if you don&#8217;t go with a travel agency, you should hire a car that can handle such roads like a Jeep; this will likely cost you 80 USD or more, and takes about 2 hours. Once you&#8217;re in Cerro Azul, you&#8217;ll have to pay the entry fee and hire a local guide, since otherwise you won&#8217;t be allowed to enter. In 2019, the price for a guide was 20 USD, plus 4 USD per person.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nBut is it worth it? It definitely is, especially if you are a lover of archaeology, pictographs and hiking &#8211; after all, it takes about an hour of walking on the mountain, passing by a stupendous bat cave. You will find more than 3 sites that are more than 1,000 years old, although unfortunately some of them have deteriorated somewhat due to campfires or the hands of some recent visitors. Even still, when you see these cave paintings you will surely ask yourself how such art can have lasted for so long, which is due in part to a pigment that was created using seeds of the Achiote plant. The view from above will leave you breathless!<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nThe pictographs of Raudal del Guayabero are perhaps the most &#8216;important&#8217; paintings of the region, and can be found a mind-boggling 20 meters up on the stone walls. From San Jos\u00e9, you can take a taxi for only 5 USD to Puerto Arturo. From there, you can take a motorboat for 40 minutes, during which time you may see turtles, many birds, monkeys and other wildlife! Once you get to Raudal, you can bath in a natural pool and waterfall, and once you&#8217;ve finished that, it is only one more hour to get to the pictographs.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nYou can also climb up to the top of this rock to see the immensity of the jungle and the Guayabero River, both of which are a delight to see and contemplate.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_12503\" style=\"width: 1450px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12503\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12503\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/san_jose_cerro_azul_paintings-1.jpg\" alt=\"Pictogramas cerro Azul in San Jose del Guaviare\" width=\"1440\" height=\"810\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/san_jose_cerro_azul_paintings-1.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/san_jose_cerro_azul_paintings-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/san_jose_cerro_azul_paintings-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.worldmoments.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/san_jose_cerro_azul_paintings-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-12503\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Jos\u00e9 del Guaviare &#8211; Pictographs of Cerro Azul<\/p><\/div>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Lagoon of the Damas del Nare<\/h4>\n<p>Also called the Lagoon of the Toninas (the name of these fresh-water dolphins), this particular lagoon offers to visitors a chance to see and interact with charming dolphins &#8211; this is actually one of the few places where these fresh-water dolphins approach humans.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nIt can be found 68 kilometers from San Jos\u00e9, and there are plenty of ways to get there. The fastest option is to take a tour that costs about 150 USD that departs twice a week, in which case it would be necessary to sleep in El Nare.
