Puente Aguacate (Avocado Bridge) is the entrance to the Zarzal community on the outskirts of Mocoa. You have the option of riding horseback or motor cart to reach Cloud Forest Yagé Retreat. Characterized by its strong community spirit that exemplifies rural Colombian life, Zarzal is a hotspot for hiking, mountain biking, swimming, and birdwatching for both locals and visitors. Hiking trails offer direct access to Cascadas Hornoyaco, Canalendres and Pequeña.
Mocoa’s topography creates a variety of microclimates where the highland terrain of the Andes Mountains transitions into the lowlands of the Amazon Basin. Local traditions and indigenous influences play a significant role in daily life where community members often come together for festivities that include music, dance, and food. The natural surroundings provide a source of livelihood and inspire deep respect for the environment among the residents, who regularly meet and discuss conservation efforts.
