Yotoco

Location:
Yotoco, Valle de Cauca
Near Cali, Cali, Colombia

Eco-Tour

By Richard McColl

Some 18km from Buga the natural reserve of Yotoco measures 560 hectares and its altitude oscillates between 1200m and 1600 meters above sea level.

 

The town of Yotoco itself was founded in 1622 by Captain Diego Rengifo Salazar who took full advantage of the Yotoco settlement already in place.

 

What you find today is a small town with some colonial buildings of interest but more fascinating is the range of flora and fauna in the area.

 

All the flora that covers the eastern edge of the Andean cordillera is represented here and fishing opportunities as well as bird watching are offered here. Aside from fishing in the rivers Escondite and Picapiedra how about bathing in the natural pools in the river lso Chorros?

 

Only 56km from Cali this makes for a great day out.

Relative price: Mid-Range

Travel Skills: beginner/easy.
