Tourism is hardly seen. Carlos Cubillos, a hotel administrator, told that only once he had assisted a gringoe21, but that he had left unsatisfied, because the guy waited a resort. My eyes only saw Brazilian in plan of business, state officials "working", a couple of Colombians adventurers and two Argentineans. Very little bit for 6 months and such a potential.
The fame of guerilla and coquera area doesn't help a lot. Those whom enjoy more the territory are the officials that stay some little days at there and they spend them very well. It doesn't matter, the one that pays is the state and the governor's office assists them the best way they can, so that they take a good impression. Some they are sent by their superiors, it wasn't that way they would not come.
The couple of Colombians that I knew was "ecoturists" that caught the fishes with fishhook, they took them pictures and then they loosed them. They looked for places where the forest was intact, where they could see the Indians in live and direct. "They told us that there were places where the Nukak took out the whites by arrow, and we desired more go there"! told me the man.
Anyway, it lacks a lot of hair for bun. The Agrarian Box, the only bank entity that there is, it hardly works. The one that arrives is because it is willing to arrive anywhere. Although to people it is charged expensive, they are treated well. The problem is the precarious situation. Tourists are not informed about the importance of conservation. The tourist publicity of the departamento is limited to one or other folding and an almanac. This latter has a picture of a river dolphin, thrown in the beach, as if they had just fished it.

Gringo means any foreigner with blue eyes and blonde hair, not any foreigner. For example, the Japanese are not considered gringos.
