Description
Designed to provide an excellent mountain adventure accompanied by beautiful landscapes and surrounded by the wonderful ancestral cultures that still inhabit the imposing Sierra Nevada, the highest coastal mountain in the world. They will share with a Kogui community, a special community since their knowledge is of reflection before the means they inhabit, they have survived trying to maintain their customs, and they are considered the most peaceful group in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. It is a new, exclusive tour with few visitors on a day-to-day basis, having the legal permission to operate with the Koguis natives. We do community tourism by integrating the inhabitants and helping to combat poverty with daily departures. We present a large part of the Tayrona indigenous ancestral culture
