‘El Garcero’ is the home of hundreds of white herons that land here in the evening hours to sleep. It is technically a group of trees by a river stream that forms El Garcero, home of the garzas, as the white herons are called. The spectacle of hundreds of white herons landing there in the pretty light of the late afternoon and early evening hours can be viewed from the road, Ruta Sirivana, that passes by the Garcero and gets you as close to the Garcero as 50 meters. Although Yopaleños know about the crowd of birdwatchers by the road and tend to slow down, beware of the traffic that is heavier at this time of the day. Opposite El Garcero you will find a beautiful beer garden to sit for your sundowner and to enjoy the pastel colors of the llanos’ sky. This bar serves pop, beer and freshly squeezed juices along some nibbles. On weekends they also serve homemade desserts. Don’t forget long sleeves and mosquito repellent as this area has many river streams and lots of bloodsuckers swarm out during sunset. To get to El Garcero exit Yopal via Calle 11 to the east to get to La Ruta Sirivana (by car or bus) and drive for about 8 km.
