Gairaca Beach in Tayrona Park

The experience is highly recommended, especially in our case, as we were looking to get away from very crowded places. In that sense, the photos are eloquent. To start by evaluating the quality of transportation, the schedule was perfect and we traveled in a 4x4 truck equipped with seat belts and air conditioning, which is not a general feature of transportation methods. Cristian the driver drove very correctly and defensively throughout the entire trip. We felt completely safe during the transfer and also regarding the care of our belongings, as they were very attentive. Regarding Aldair, who was our guide, he provided us with quality information about the historical processes of the area, a precise description of the indigenous communities and their differences, cultural values, and comparisons of the ways of life between those communities, as well as the current context of the mountains/coast. A lot of information about the fauna and flora of the ecosystems we visited and also of the mountains. We were able to enjoy an unforgettable snorkeling experience with a local guide experienced in coral conservation and very committed to the conservation of the area. This case was done with a boat transfer to an immediate beach, Playa del Amor, also very quiet. This case had an extra charge. The food was very good and certainly the fish was fresh, and the person who served us was also very kind and extremely respectful. We had some beach game items and a tent to cover ourselves from the sun at our disposal. Aldair and Cristian were extremely correct, kind, and careful people regarding every detail; they made us feel very good. Highly recommended experience due to the human quality and training of the people who accompanied us.
