Expedition 2022 Colombia I - 2022

In the rainforest of Colombia - no drug smugglers, but dream biotopes in clear blackwater

Colombia used to be known for drugs - today it is a safe destination for adventurous aquarists. Our JBL team flew one and a half hours from Bogota across to the east to Puerto Inirida. From there the only way to reach the indigenous people and the biotopes of our aquarium fish was by boat.

Starting point for the expedition: Puerto Inirida

A little place in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by multiple dreamlike biotopes with altum angelfish and cardinal tetras. Only accessible by plane or boat. All the roads lead to the jungle. It is a dream!

To the altum angelfish in Rio Atabapo

The Rio Atabapo must be one of the most beautiful rivers in South America. Huge, brilliant white sandbanks and crystal-clear blackwater with L number catfish, altum angelfish and piranhas. Once you’ve been to the Atabapo, you will never want to go anywhere else!

After all, who cares about small fish that you can't eat?

Just outside the town borders of Inirida, there are small but beautiful waters teeming with "aquarium fish". If you have never seen more than 100 armored catfish in a shoal, you must go there!

Further on to the Rio Claro, to scorpions and whip spiders

After the jungle at Inirida, there was a special (optional) finale: a clearwater river about six hours' drive northwest of Bogota, specifically named RIO CLARO. During this part of the expedition, the issue of climate change hit us in full force. It was raining in February for the first time in 20 years! The result was that the river was no longer CLARO, but...

The team

When 34 nature-loving people go on an expedition together, there are of course a lot of photos showing the team in every possible situation. The enthusiasm of the participants is evident in lots of them.
