Things to do in Villavicencio, Meta Department: The Best Nature & Parks
Villavicencio is a hub for cattle farming, and the area abounds with cowboys. You could stay on a ranch for a night or two before moseying off to the more oft-visited grassland plains of Los Llanos. If you care to stay awhile, Villavicencio has plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities and eco-tourism. Don’t miss the Caño Cristales, a beautifully multi-colored river filled with vibrant plants and minerals that’s appropriately nicknamed “The Liquid Rainbow.”

This is situated about 3 miles out of the centre of Villavicencio towards Restrepo. Park in one of the private car parks opposite for about 75% less than the official car park. You are not allowed to bring in food or drinks. Your bags will be searched and any food or water etc. Will be removed. It’s very cheap to get in. The park specialises in saving endangered animals and rescuing animals from being kept in cages etc. A great effort. It’s not the biggest place I’ve ever been to but you’ll still spend a good half day here looking at various animals from armadillos to Jaguars to anacondas to toucans and parrots. You can buy fish food and feed the fish or the ducks and geese - great fun for the kids.
