Cristina Burbano

Cristina was my contact. She was always responsive and helpful. The local agency used were excellent. Eliana was an amazing guide. Fun, informativé, caring and doing everything to make things run smoothly. Frankie the driver was superb. Getting through terrain where others got stuck. We saw some stunning sites. Tayrona Park and our walk guide Nelson was excellent. Great to havé the wildlife pointed out to us.
Our big disappointment was that we spent the majority of our 3 day tour of Guajira in a 4 wheel drive. This was not reflected in the description of the tour. The least time we spent in a vehicle was 9 hours and the longest was 12. At no point was this made clear to us and if it had been we would havé chosen a different itinery. By contrast the limitions of the accommodation were made very clear and our expectations were managed well.
We appreciate the gesture of a free meal and taxi but it could not make up for the challenge of being thrown around the back of a 4 wheel drive for hours and days. (We expected some of this and were looking forward to it but not this much!) I think you also need to be clear when the trip is in planning stages because anyone with a bad back would not be able to do it (Even if they are fit otherwise).

Hike Tayrona National Park

Tayrona National Park

Amazing expérience made even better with our very knowledgeable and charming guide, Nelson. He enabled us to spot so much wildlife that we would never have seen ourselves. The pace was perfect , providing a balance between cardio, views and beach .

Quality of Experience

The views, the wildlife, the sounds.

Nelson was the perfect guide and adapted our day to only 17km as one of us had a broken toe. Having worked there for over 20 years, he was charming with us and all his colleagues

Franky was perfect as ever, but a long drive for such a short activity

Taroa Dunes and Punta Gallinas (Day 2)

Colombia

Fabulous sites. Our guide Eliana made it fun and interesting. We hadn't realised quite how much time we would be being bounced around in the back of a 4 wheel drive (about 9 hours). Our driver Franke was great.

Quality of Experience

Being clear about how much time would be spent in the car.

Food

There was some choice and Eliana made sure we were well looked after.

Mayapo Beaches (Day 3)

Colombia

We didn't have time to do any more than look at the beach because we spent 12 hours in cars that day.

Quality of Experience

Food

The lunch by the beach was wonderful. Thanks Eliana for recommending what to eat.

Guides, Drivers and Staff

Very flexible and offered us time at the beach, but then we wouldn't have got to our accommodation that night until even later. As it was we were in the car from 7am to 8pm with a quick lunch stop and 2 coffee stops.
