Llanos Orientales Region, in English, the Eastern Plains, is one of the five natural regions of Colombia that belongs to the Orinoco River watershed and borders the Andes to the west, the Venezuelan coastal zone to the north, and the Amazon to the south. The Eastern Plains has more than a quarter of the Colombian territory, only a small proportion of the population,n and it is known for the endless savannah, stunning sunsets, rivers, and other natural marvels.
This Region is considered one of the most critical ecosystems in the world, with two marked seasons: the rainy and dry seasons. Its climate is intertropical savannah, hot, except in the high plains with a milder climate.
The Llanos is home to incredible wildlife, with more than 100 species of mammals and more than 700 species of birds.
