Beskrivning
Take a boat ride along the Don Diego River to Tayronaka, an ecolodge on ancient Tairona terraces. Experience an ancestral Kogui sightseeing tour, enjoy a typical lunch, and bathe in the crystal-clear waters.
Your adventure begins on the banks of the Don Diego River wharf, where you will board a traditional boat to venture into the heart of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. During this outbound journey, you'll sail surrounded by a lush rainforest, where the sound of water and the sight of exotic birds will welcome you to this natural sanctuary. Upon disembarking in the Ecological Reserve, you'll begin the ancestral sightseeing tour guided by a member of the Kogui indigenous community, direct descendants of the Tayrona. You'll walk on authentic pre-Hispanic stone terraces built over 1,000 years ago, visit the ceremonial house (Cansamaria), and explore the reserve's private archaeological museum, which houses original pieces of pottery and goldsmithing discovered on this very sacred ground. Your native tour guide will open the doors to their worldview, teaching you about harmony with Mother Earth and their living traditions. After this deep cultural immersion, you'll relax by the tranquil river to enjoy a delicious à la carte lunch at the reserve's restaurant. You can choose your favorite local dish, accompanied by a refreshing cold drink, while resting in the shade of the trees. Finally, you'll board the boat for the drop-off journey, concluding a perfect day of connection, history, and unspoiled nature.
