HOTEL CASUARITO

Correct rooms with fan and tv for US$8 per person. It is the single place to sleep, while the Las Brisas restaurant constitutes the best option to be supplied. It exempts hearty typical dishes (meat or fish, accompanied well) for US$10, but also a smaller portion (if you ask) for US$7 will be useful to you which will be enough to fill you the paunch. Ask their small special sauce, if good that it would be tasted (almost) with the spoon! Best Colombian rum available to Casuarito is as for him “Ron Viejo de Caldas”. Transport of and towards Puerto Ayacucho. Regular boats (from 8am to noon and from 2pm to 6pm) cross Orénoque in one minute from the port of Puerto Ayacucho. The return costs less than one dollar. Do not forget to pass to Dex (immigration) before. The border closes at 6pm. Transport for Bogotá. Every day, at 7am and 4pm, a boat connects Casuarito to Puerto Carreño (accessible also since Puerto Paéz, a small village located 100 km north of Puerto Ayacucho) in one hour (US$6). Here, pass to Colombian immigration. Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, the Colombian company Satena – www.satena.com – at US$200 have flights for Bogota which advantageously replace 3 days of small uncomfortable bus, in addition in a region where, without wanting to push with paranoia (because Colombia is a sure country), prevails sometimes the guerrilla.
