Hardrickson 1950 Journal 76 Nov. 25 Villavicencio to the Macarena, Meta, Colombia, S.A. in the forest seen on the flight to Trinidad. S. of the Ariari we flow over low foothills (instead of plate) much of the time. Large and small ~~~~ smoke plumes from grassland burning operations were seen. Near the Macarena we began to see more and more natural savannahs (grassland), and some distance to the E. of the N. end of the Macarena could be seen great ~~ extension of the llanos. The Macaren is a low (~600 ft.) range of mountains lying E. of the Eastern Andes and separate from them. The range is dissected by picturesque abysses, vertical-walled and very narrow. On the E. side is a line of foothills separated from the main range by the Rio Guizar (at N end of route). These hills are grass-covered and rather unusual in appearance: they rise on an almost table-like slope and then drop off by what appear to be cliffs to the river.
