What To Expect

Much more than a tour: A unique experience to discover the fascinating Tungueka indigenous village in one of the most beautiful places in the Colombian Caribbean. Enjoy an ecological walk through the surrounding mountains of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Upon arrival, you will be able to interact with one of the oldest indigenous tribes in the region (the Kogi) The Kogi are descendants of the Tairona culture, which flourished before the times of the Spanish conquest. They lived not much differently from modern day Kogi. The Kogi base their lifestyles on their belief in "Aluna" or "The Great Mother," their creator figure, who they believe is the force behind nature. The Kogi understand the Earth to be a living being, and see humanity as its "children."

Wow!! that was Amazing! the visit to the Tungueka Indigenous tribe was unforgettable, they are amazing people, it was lovely to learn more about their culture and tradition, the tour guide was very knowledgeable and kind, we were a group of 4 and he was all the time making us feel great. The whole way to the village is unique around the forest, please do not forget your mosquito-repellent, then we went to the river and a waterfall and we swim there for sometime, the atmosphere was soo beautiful! definitely recommended!
