You can take a 10-15 minutes taxi ride from Guaduas (for COP 30000 the driver will wait for you) to the Mirador. I was told to go early in the morning before 8, so I went at 6:30. I was not lucky, it was a very very cloudy day so I could not enjoy the view. If it is a clear day, the view is just amazing, really worth this 1 hour trip from the village.

We went to the Bocatoma as we couldn't go to Los Saltos de Micos. To be honest, the walk was not very interesting although our guide did his best. We were not able to do one part of the walk because it involved wading across the river at above waist height. When you arrive at Bocatoma, it is a swimming place in the river formed by an artificial weir. The only food avaialble is typical Colombian, such as Sancocho de gallina.

Although we were unable to visit, I believe our experience will be useful to other visitors. We went to Villeta in January 2017. The main reason for the visit was to go to Los Saltos de los Micos. We followed advice and looked for a guide in the main square. We found a man who said he would take us the next day and we agreed to phone him later. When we went back to the hotel and asked them, they arranged for a guide who was known to them to come to the hotel. When he arrived, he told us that the attraction had been closed by the local authorities due to an accident on a suspension bridge in another part of the country. He also advised us that it was not a good place for foreigners to visit as there are many delinquents and drug taking there. I strongly recommend to any foreign visitors to check with tourist information and/or the Alcaldia before going to Villeta.

Our experience started by finding their burger place in town where we tasted the most delicious burgers during our time in Colombia and their organic beer. There were options for everyone from seafood, buffalo, beef and veggie burgers... Once our tummies were satisfied we decided to be adventurous and do paragliding. It was a remarkable experience! The location was a paradise for photography, with the most stunning views from Magdalena river.
Highly recommended!!!
