Gabrielle showed us some nice places to eat, dance and visit. I felt safe everywhere we went. The only down side is it rained part of the tour and my mouton view was not what I hoped it would be but still spectacular. I stayed outside of San Antonio at a Air B and B so I had to arrange my own transportation although they did offer. The driver I have been using since I…”

Review of the Santa Marta to Tayrona tour, with a forest hike, Cabo San Juan beach, practical costs, transport tips, and honest drawbacks.
“O local em si é incrível, visitar o parque Tayrona definitivamente é uma obrigação para todos que vierem a Santa Marta. Praias sensacionais, uma biodiversidade única e, apesar de um pouco desafiador, uma ótima trilha ecológica. Entretanto, o serviço em si não foi dos melhores. O ônibus era muito pequeno e estava com todos os assentos ocupados. Pessoas um pouco maiores (como meu caso e de vários outros passageiros) estavam totalmente espremidos entre os bancos, sem nenhum espaço pras pernas e colado no passageiro ao lado. O grupo contava com 2 guias. O guia que nos acompanhou desde o começo (Luiz) não era dos melhores comunicadores, frequentemente nos deixando meio…”
