Fin Del Mundo

The end of the world is a natural reserve with beautiful Waterfalls and clean waters, ideal place for hiking, walking, swimming and watching native flora and fauna. Welcome to Fin del Mundo

Reviewed By Nicole L - Monticello, New York

The hike to fin del mundo is a challenging/sweaty hike through jungle vegetation (2hours if you're reasonably fit and don't stop to swim along the way). Along the way there are 3 different Waterfalls and swimming holes that you can stop at to take a rest and a refreshing swim in the cold water. When we did the hike the path was very muddy due to recent rain so keep that in mind and wear proper hiking boots. The first waterfall offers some cliff jumping, which is great fun. The second has three different cascades that are very picturesque. When you reach fin del mundo you will be blown away with how big the drop and how strong the flow of water is. There are plenty of flat rocks to sun bathe on at the top and it makes a perfect place to enjoy a picnic! Definitely a must see while visiting Macoa.

Paway is a very interesting place to experience freedom in the jungle and to enjoy the fresh water of crystaline rivers, the exotic Colombian fruits , the opportunity and to sleep 25 mts above the ground , on a tree of hundred years, to hear the silence of the jungle, ot to share with the indigenous peoples still living just few hours from there. If you are adventurous and like to clean your body with fresh air, enjoy running waters and the beauty of the Colombian jungle, you have Paway in Putumayo, Colombia.

I had a wonderfully refreshing swim in this river just outside the hostel where we were staying after completing the Amazon forest hike to El Fin del Mundo. I haven't enjoyed jumping into a cold river so much in a very long time!

Centro Experimental Amazonico

Reviewed By jesperrekuh - Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Only some birds macaw toucan papegayo and a jaguar were rescued but will never be released.
Also they have different types of monkeys and seemed stressed also where kept in very small habitats.
One group of monkeys will be released (looked like black spider monkeys)
We try to get some more information but was limited.
One very positive thing... tapirs and they release them in the park not the wild amazon
Its a zoo ... with good intentions.
You get a guide but only opens/start at 10 !!!

Iglesia Catedral San Miguel de Arcangel

Reviewed By pablomaiorga - Bogota, Colombia

Esta iglesia tiene la majestuosidad que identifica a las construcciones de la época, su inmaculado blanco destaca en el Parque Santander y es una visita casi que obligada para los visitantes de Mocoa.
No recomiendo asistir en misas de Domingo y menos en la noche.

Ambiente bohemio y tranquilo. Con gente que quiere desconectarse del mundo por un rato y pasar unos días tranquilos. Muy cerca a las cascadas del fin del mundo, el ojo de Dios y el mariposario. Pregunten por Laureano, uno de los guías locales muy buena onda y buena vibra.

Putumayo Adventures

Reviewed By Gregory C - Dublin, Ireland

The climb was very muddy from the previous nights' rainfall (and particularly slippery coming down) but it was enjoyable nonetheless and well worth the effort.
