Highly recommended. Guided with authentic local guide from the Zenu culture. They open up pre-Columbian culture up to the modern day. Tour their art then do some weaving in the local community. Greet, authentic, memorable tour

Notre guide Dilia était très intéressante et sympathique. Elle nous a fait une visite du Musée de l'Or Zenu et nous a expliqué les techniques de tissages traditionnelles avec d'autres femmes Zenu dans leur petit atelier. Leur travail est incroyable, et les pièces produites sont magnifiques et de très grandes qualité. La collation qu'elle nous ont offerte était succulente (une soupe traditionnelle, une arepa spéciale, et du fromage maison). L'ambiance était très chaleureuse, je recommande !
