Month: September 2017

One of the most typical questions we ask ourselves when we visit a place is "what should we bring", right? Because obviously we can't go out and being relax knowing that once at the destination we won't be able to go to the store to find what we need. Therefore, I'm going to tell you at least 5 things that you must take into account so that you don't have late-breaking problems. For this time, I'm going to tell you what you couldn't forget when you go to the Tayrona Park specifically, but don't worry, I'll be telling you more tips in the next round.   ¡First! Your documents! "Yes, I know it's obvious but many people often forget it.".   Something that we mustn't forget -no matter what destination where we are- are our identity cards (Passport if you are foreign) Why? In case the authorities require it, some emergency and the most important, because without this you won't enter in the Tayrona Park   -Requirement: Mandatory-   Second ... Don't forget your glasses and a good sunscreen! The sunscreen is something essential for our trip to Tayrona Park, remember that you will walk for several hours and you will be exposed to the sun, so we will need to protect our skin from sunlight.

Fourth,  Don't forget to bring water! The tour can be a bit tiring so I recommend you bring at

Not being the exception, Santa Marta falls in the eyes of those curious travelers, -like you-, who choose to meet one of the most mythical places of the Colombian Caribbean the "Lost City of Santa Marta". However, although our indigenous communities allow visits of our travelers around the world, the great traffic of people to this place can get sick our mother earth As is customary every year, the temporary closure of Ciudad Perdida for the month of September was made official. The downside was that several of our tourists did not know that this happen every year and much less knew "what they could do then". One day while I was taking my break, I saw several travelers in the agency who were still asking about the tour to Lost City and maybe they didn't understand why it would be closed in september, so I thought it would be a good idea to tell you the reason why our "Lost City" will be lose during that month of their sight and if it likes you, I could tell you in the next post what I recommend you to do while they wait for your return.   Then let's get started… In the basin of the Buritaca river there are two cultures the Kogui and the Arsarios also known as Wiwas. Every year they meet in Mutanyi village or in the Lost City together with their wives and children to do a "spiritual cleansing" of the territory. The curious thing is that when they do this kind of sacred ritual no one, absolutely no one who is not from their community can enter, because if they do, the spiritual
