Good experience

Very good experience. We got to do a little tour in Tayronaka guided by a community guide. Then we went to the river to do Tubbing, I recommend to bring good repellent.very quiet and nice, a boy pulled us all the way, the current is very smooth. I don't recommend if someone has back problems.

Tubing Rio don Diego and visit Tayronaka

Carlos our guide was very friendly throughout the tour. The very nice and quiet river tire ride. The beach where we arrived beautiful and with the option of swimming. Lunch was a pleasant surprise, delicious and very well presented. Finally the visit to the ruins of the tribes very interesting and the perfect closure for the day. Thanks Carlos!
