View on Google MapsEen bijzondere ervaring in een enorm mooie omgeving! Onze gids nam ons mee naar het grijze en rode deel van Tatacoa en vertelde interessante weetjes tijdens de hikes. De hikes waren erg mooi, maar wel zwaar door de hitte en de zon. Vooral richting het einde van de dag waren er veel muggen en andere insecten, goed om hier rekening mee te houden. Naast de zonsondergang over het rode gedeelte van Tatacoa, die spectaculair was, vond ik het sterrenkijken erg leuk. We hadden een heldere avond en dus konden we veel sterren zien. Het praatje is in het Spaans, maar de telescopen spreken voor zich. Een erg leuke dag gehad, maar wel heel intensief!
We had an amazing day in the Tatacoa desert with a really knowledgeable guide. We did a boat ride, visited the grey and red desert, went swimming in a natural pool (optional) and ended the day watching the stars at the observatory. The organization was also kind enough to let us join the tour only in Villavieja and return to Neiva in the evening so we could stay one night in the desert. Only point to be aware of for the non-Spanish speakers: We thought the tour would be fully in English, however both exclusively Spanish speakers and exclusively English speakers were allowed on the tour. Hence, it felt like we followed a Spanish tour which was for 90% translated into English. The other participanten were also all speaking Spanish amongst one another. Besides, the guide at the observatory was exlusively speaking Spanish.

Nonostante la difficoltà a trovare il punto d'incontro, il tour é stato perfetto. La nostra guida era preparato perfettamente su tutto ciò che prevedeva l'escursione, inoltre trasmetteva amore e rispetto per i magnifici luoghi in cui ci ha portato. Se venita in colombia tour da fare assolutamente
Vorab: man sollte auf einen wirklich langen und je nach Tagestemperatur sehr anstrengenden Trip gefasst sein. Die Wanderung an sich ist nicht sonderlich anspruchsvoll, 38° „im Schatten“ jedoch schon. Ansonsten: die Wüsten (rot und grau) sind sehr beeindruckend. Der optionale Poolbesuch ist nur zu empfehlen, gerade wenn es so extrem heiß ist. Der Tourguide hat sich viel Mühe gegeben und war sehr nett. Am Ende gibt es noch einen optionalen Besuch in einer Sternenwarte, da der Himmel vollständig bedeckt war, haben wir diesen ausgelassen, mussten dadurch aber 1,5 h auf andere warten…das war nach dem langen Tag etwas ermüdend. Ansonsten ein tolles Erlebnis.
The tour was nice, but we were put in a different group. Because of this we did not do part of the program, but we did do a boat trip instead of the Villavieja museum. It also became a real hike, which made it too difficult for my partner. There was also no communication about it. The environment is beautiful. Stars are beautiful to see, but only in Spanish. This made it take a bit long.
Efraín is very good guide who knows a lot about the area. The tour offers an excellent balanced program. Highly recommended.
Our guide was Valentina, she was very kind and a wonderful guider. This tour was one of the best experiences here in Colombia and it is definitely a must-go attraction.
Efraín is a wonderful host and has a lot of knowledge of the surrounding. I definitely recommend booking the tour with Tocayá Natura.
My experience with Tocayá tours was excellent. I am very happy to take the 3 day tour, it was the most comfortable way to get to know the desert without hurry. The guides and drivers are very friendly, the food is abundant. I recommend this tour to those who wish to know the beautiful Tatacoa desert.
Our guide Carlos was fantastic. He was very knowledgable about the archeology of the region and geological formations, had a keen eye for spotting the diversity of wildlife, and our group of about 10 people had fun over the two hikes with a relaxing lunch and pool visit in-between.
