Overview

Meta is known for its wide plains (llanos), which support cattle ranching and rice farming. The department's center, Villavicencio, connects the eastern plains with Bogotá via a major highway. Rivers like the Guaviare and Meta define the region, and La Macarena is home to Caño Cristales, a river famous for its colored algae.
