HERE WE CAN SEE THE LANDSCAPE, PROTECTED FROM SUN, EXTEND FROM THE PLAIN TO THE MOUNTAIN AND OFFERING DIFFERENT SHADES OF GREEN SYMBOL OF THE LIFE EN THE CAQUETA ALSO WE ARE GOING TO SEE THE RIVERS THAT ARE THE GENEROUS VEINS OF THE NATURE, THE RIVERS.

CHIRIBIQUETE
IN CAQUETA WE HAVE THE CHIRIBIQUETE NATIONAL PARK THAT IS ONE OF COLOMBIA’S AND WORLD’S GREAR TREASURES. SITUATED IN THE HEART OF THE AMAZON, IN THE CAQUETA AND GUAVIARE PROVINCES, ITS OUTSTANDING NATURAL AND CULTURAL RICHES REMAIN IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE TEPUI IS AN ARAWAK INDIAN WORD FOR A TYPE OF MOUNTAIN ON THE AMAZON PLAIN THAT FORMS PART OF THE GUIANA SHIELD, ONE OF THE HOST ANCIENT GEOLOGICAL FORMATIONS ON EARTH, SINUOUS RIVERS, MAJESTIC JUNGLES AND WATERFALLS OF INTIMIDATING BEAUTY ALL COME TOGETHER TO CREATE A MAGICAL WORLD THAT HAS BEEN CALLED THE LAST PURE, VIRGIN WORLD STILL TO BE DISCOVERED ON PLANET EARTH. A GIF FROM CAQUETA TO THE WORLD 7
ONE SPECIAL FEATURE OF THE CHIRIBIQUETE TEPUIS, WHICH IS NOT FOUND ON THOSE ON THE GREAT VENEZUELAN PLAIN IS THAT SOME OF THEIR TABLETOP SUMMITS BOAST CIRCULAR OR OVAL FURROWS. THE RIVERS THAT FLOW BETWEEN THE TEPUIS ARE ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FEATURES OF THE LANDSCAPES. THERE ARE ‘WHITE’ ONES AND ‘BLACK’ ONES. THE FORMER FLOW DOWN FROM THE ESTERN CORDILLERA AND ARE A MILKY COLOUR BECAUSE OF THE SEDIMENTS THEY CARRY,WHILE THE LATTER ORIGINATE IN THE JUNGLE ITSELF AND THEIR WATER I MOSTLY A SHINY BLACK COLOUR AND OCCACIONALLY RED. THEY CARRY HUMIC ACID,FULVIC ACID AND TANNIN. ABANDONED WATERCOURSES WEAVE STRANGE MAZES, A FURTHER FEATURE OF THE LANDSCAPE, WHIT VAST QUANTITIES OF WATER IN THEM DURING THE RAINY SEASON, ARE THE WATERFALLS THAT PLUNGE FORM HIGH,SHEER, ROCK WALLS. IN THUS BEAUTIFUL NATURAL SETTING, THE FLORA AND FAUNA HAVE SUCCEDED IN ADAPTING TO THE XTREME CONDITIONS OF THE ENVIRONMENT, AND DUE TO THEIR ISOLATION. 8
