Enjoy a nautical tour of the Arauca River in a two-story boat that will allow you to contemplate the landscape and natural resources from different angles.
The Arauca River has the virtue of being navigable 365 days a year. On its riverbank is the city of Arauca on the Colombian side and that of El Amparo on the Venezuelan side.
This tributary is born in the Andes and travels around 1,000 kilometers to Venezuela, passing through moors, humid Andean forests, seasonal sheets and flood sheets. Several studies are investigating the population sizes of the toninas, flat alligators, birds, turtles and fish found in this border tributary.
On the Arauca River, hundreds of vessels that carry out different commercial activities are mobilized daily, while allowing the border exchange between two sister countries: Colombia and Venezuela linked by the commercial and cultural exchange. The most important activities that the Arauca River has besides communicating borders are commerce and fishing.
