The little town of Puerto Carreño at the End of the Road (most remote tourism outpost on coast-to-coast route 40) is experiencing some growing pains with the introduction of transit laws, the opening of the department's first courthouse, and introduction of an international tourism council in 2023.
Puerto Carreño is the capital city and a municipality, of the department of Vichada in the Llanos of Colombia. It is located in the northeastern portion of the department bordered by rivers on three sides (including the pristine Bita River). It is located at the eastern end of Colombia's most scenic Route 40, has a national airport with regular flights to Bogota and Villavicencio each day.

Everyone benefits in our tourism destination.

Our organization also capacitates and qualifies all of its participants with Implementation Guideline for Tour Operators and International Law of Tourism which provides for tourism resources and activities; rights and obligations of tourists, organizations and individuals doing tourism business and other supportive businesses that work integrally within the tourism industry. Since 2020 the world was made to subscribe and voluntarily adhere to International Code for the Protection of Tourists (ICPT) due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
