The main commercial hub of Colombia's vast eastern plains (the Llanos Orientales), Villavicencio sits at the foot of the Andes along the Guatiquía River, earning it the nickname "La Puerta al Llano" — the Gateway to the Plains. Founded in 1840 and a short drive from Bogotá, this large city offers a walkable centre with cafés and restaurants, mountain views, and a riverside setting where the Andes give way to the sweeping savannas stretching toward Venezuela and the Amazon.
