SOUTHWEST- ADVENTURE DAY IN THE TATACOA DESERT
Tatacoa Desert, Colombia
Duration: 8-9 hours from Villavieja.
This day of adventure in the Tatacoa Desert begins in the morning in Villavieja where we will take a tuk-tuk up to the entrance of the Desert. From there we will start a horseback ride of approximately 2 hours during which we can admire the landscapes of this tropical dry forest and learn about the different species of vegetation of the place. We continue to the mineral water pool where we´ll be able to enjoy a relaxing bath in the middle of this arid landscape.
Then we will return to Villavieja to have lunch and rest a bit before heading out to explore the Magdalena River by boat accompanied by a fisherman from the region who will teach us some of his fishing secrets. After the boat ride, we will walk through the gray and ocher parts of the Desert and wait for the sunset on the Rainbow path. We will pass by the Cardón - Cuzco part, one of the most representative landscapes, due to its geomorphology, in which we will appreciate the formations originated by water and wind and visit the Cathedrals, The Tower, The Wishing Tree, and The Labyrinths formations.
At nightfall, we are invited to enjoy a glass of cactus wine at the Cuzco viewpoint while observing the impressive starry sky of the Desert.
