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!

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!
