At 200 meters above sea level inside the Tayrona Park is located Pueblito, a community of native Koguis, heirs of the Tayrona with an architecture similar to that of Ciudad Perdida. It is interesting to know a little more about the native culture of Santa Marta. The tour: Pueblito Tayku is ideal to live an adventure of cultural discovery of the region. To reach this ancestral territory, you must take a walk in the middle of the jungle of the Tayrona Park, a route where the visitor will be able to appreciate the natural wonders and thus be closer to the beloved mother earth.

We did a hike to beautiful waterfall in Minca. At the waterfall we were able to swim in pristine cold water to cool down. The scenery was spectacular...the hike also included stop along the way at a coffee farm for a coffee discussion and tasting. After the waterfall we stopped at “Jungle Joes” hostel which Included a Cacao tasting and discussion. “Jungle Joes” cook an absolutely delicious gourmet lunch which is as good a meal as we have had in the 1.5years that we have been living in Colombia. Coordinating logistics and planning our excursion was great with this tour company....They were always extremely responsive.

We arrived at the designated departure area for a day trip to Tayrona and Cabo San Juan Beach at 10:00. After arriving, we waited for 90 minutes before putting our life jackets on and then stood on the beach for another half hour. After finally getting on the boat we sat for another 45 minutes while we waited for one of the other passengers to have her dog delivered. We arrived at Cabo San Juan beach finally at 2:00 - four hours after we should have departed from Taganga. We expressed our concern and the operator - Anna - told us we could return to Taganga at 5:30 instead of the regularly schedule 4:30. However at 4:00 they started rounding all of us up for the scheduled 4:30 departure. Anna clearly just told us what we wanted to hear - even if it wasn't true! I prefer to work with companies who manage their passengers better and who tell the truth. I did not get my money's worth. The only reason this was not a complete disaster was the professionalism and skill of the captain (in big waves) and the amazing beauty of Tayrona. We'll be back - just not with this company.
