“I had a wonderful evening watching the sunset and sipping on champagne. Our guides were very friendly and provided a memorable evening out on the lagoon. The only thing missing was the stars since it was overcast. Otherwise, it was a wonderful evening set in an exceptionally beautiful setting.”

3.Day Trip to Tatacoa Desert (Horseback, Boat, Stargazing, ..)

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 3 reviews · 9 hours · from $265

From Villavieja, you’ll ride horseback through Tatacoa’s tropical dry forest, cool off in a mineral pool, eat lunch, cruise the Magdalena River, hike the gray and ochre desert, and watch sunset with cactus wine. Guides speak English or Spanish, and private pickup from your hotel is included.

“La nostra guida Maristela è stata premurosa e gentilissima. Molto preparata ci ha spiegato tutto nella parte di passeggiata a piedi nel deserto che è meraviglioso. La passeggiata a cavallo vale per la sensazione di quiete che si prova….anche perché il nostro accompagnatore in questa fase non ha proferito parola. Gli autisti dei tuk tuk sono simpaticissimi ed è stato spettacolare anche il giro in lancia sul fiume Magdalena. Anche qui guida preparatissima. Eravamo troppo stanchi per chiudere con l’osservatorio ma Maristela ci ha offerto un frappè di caffè buonissimo! Bella esperienza.”
