Description

Hike through the jungle, discover hidden waterfalls, and learn about natural remedies in a botanical garden. Enjoy a traditional Colombian lunch and make chocolate using traditional methods.
Begin your adventure with a trek through the jungle, crossing the river several times and passing through avocado, cacao, and mango fields. The trek is challenging, but the stunning waterfalls you’ll visit make it worthwhile. Hidden within the lush mountains, these waterfalls are not well-known in Santa Marta, offering a secret spot to connect with nature in a personal way. Depending on your pace and endurance, visit up to five different waterfalls.

After the hike, enjoy a traditional Colombian lunch at a charming restaurant in the middle of the jungle. Ingredients are either grown on-site or locally sourced, ensuring a fresh and authentic meal.

Next, take a guided tour of a botanical garden, learning about natural remedies, foraging, and conservation. Try different plants, spices, and fruits from around the world. Encounter jungle animals such as Arapaimas and Macaws, and visit a sacred indigenous area to see stone carvings created by the Tayronas.

Finish your day with an immersive chocolate-making experience. Harvest the fruit yourself and transform it into chocolate using traditional Colombian methods and tools. Try chocolate in different intensities, enjoy a chocolate facial to moisturize your skin, and savor a comforting cup of freshly ground hot chocolate.
