It is a perfect place to contemplate, from a hammock, the universe of stars that the sky offers. In another time this region was under the sea reason why it contains numerous fossils of the Miocene.
Diana will show you, with passion, the collection of fossils that the desert gave to her after many years of childhood lived in the desert. The family of Oscar and Diana has traditionally been dedicated to raising goats, roosters and chickens, with which they make exquisite dishes.
At 4 km from the Estadero is the viewpoint of Ventanas, which can be reached using rentable bicycles.
La Tatacoa Desert
5 hours from the city of Bogota, one hour from the capital of the department of Huila, Neiva, and 15 minutes from the municipality of Villavieja, is one of the most striking landscape of the Colombian geography: the Tatacoa Desert.
It consists of 330 Km2 of an ocher, orange and red terrain formed by ravines and storaques, fundamentally.
Actually, Tatacoa is not a desert, it is a semiarid dry tropical forest with an average of 1070 mm of rain per year, which makes it the second most arid area of the country, after the Guajira, but with a completely different geomorphology to the first one.
It is a secluded place in the city, 4 km from Villavieja, very quiet and safe, which allows you to be in contact with nature, which is dominated by giant cacti and birds, having found 72 different species.
The accommodations consist of “estaderos” that offer both camping area and roofed areas with hammocks.
Due to the absence of light pollution, its clean and dry environment, and its proximity to the equator, it is a perfect place for stargazing. Each July, with a new moon, the Star Festival is celebrated, but any time of year is perfect to observe the sky.
