Noticias Caracol (until 9 October 2007 Caracol Noticias) is the name for all the national newscast from the news division of Caracol Televisión which carries the same name. It is broadcast four times on weekdays and twice on weekends. In January 2015 the new director is Juan Roberto Vargas and the second director is Alberto Medina Lopez.

Before becoming a network, Caracol Televisión produced the morning newscast 7:30 Caracol in the mid-1990s. Several well-known Colombian journalists, such as Claudia Palacios, Érika Fontalvo, and María Cristina Uribe were also news presenters of Caracol Noticias. Yamid Amat was its director until March 2002.

The newsroom and studio was built in nine months before Caracol Noticias' first airing, on 10 July 1998. Canadian company Imageneering acted as a consultant.

All Noticias Caracol newscasts are also aired live on Caracol TV Internacional.

It is currently the most watched newscast in Colombia.

Noticias Caracol newscasts are divided in sections, grouped in three blocks: "serious" news (regional, national, world news, weather, health), sports, and entertainment. For the world news, Noticias Caracol has signed some agreements with services such as APTN, Reuters, Telemundo, and CNN en Español.

Noticias Caracol is also part of the Alianza Informativa Latinoamericana (AIL), with ATV (Peru), Ecuavisa (Ecuador), SNT Cerro Corá (Paraguay), Monte Carlo TV (Uruguay), Telefé (Argentina), Megavisión (Chile), Venevision (Venezuela), TV Azteca (Mexico), Unitel (Bolivia), TVN/TVMax (Panama), Teletica (Costa Rica), RedeTV! and Band News (Brazil), TV Doce (El Salvador), TV Azteca (Guatemala), WAPA WAPA AMERICA (Puerto Rico), Antena Latina/Noticias SIN (República Dominicana) and ATV CANAL 15 (Aruba). This alliance allows Noticias Caracol to use the services of journalists working for the member networks as foreign correspondents in their respective countries, also the AIL allows Noticias Caracol to use all the technical resources of the other networks to provide a better and faster response to the news events. The AIL also has built its own news agency, where all the networks provide the most important news events in their own countries and feed them to Caracol TV, where they are edited and rebroadcast by satellite to all the members of this alliance. Since September 2012, Caracol Television has become an ENEX (European News Exchange) an alliance that started in Europe 20 years ago, which has more than 42 television stations (Europe, Asia and Americas). Some of the stories are available at its website as video on demand, as well as at El Espectador's website. Both media outlets are owned by Julio Mario Santo Domingo.

The 5:30 a.m. newscast, presented by Catalina Gomez Sanchez and Juan Diego Alvira, focuses on national news—most of them from the day before—, sports, regional news, world news, and entertainment. On this newscast, guests are invited to the set to be interviewed by the presenters. It includes a weather forecast, supported by IDEAM, Colombia's meteorological institute, and a section named ¿Qué pasó con?, where viewers can learn what happened with an old story previously covered on the newscast. The newscast currently airs from 5:30-8:30 a.m.
