The drive to the village was extremely scary and not safe . The car did not have a normal seats and belts were not present. We almost flip over. still have to give a big credit to the driver who was able to deliver us back, tour guide did not speak English well. We could understand much. This trip was expensive and we expected much more.

The drive to the village took more than 1.5 hr. It was really dangerous, not to mention that a seat belt was not present. I kept my eye closed and tried not to scream. We almost flip over a few times.

We have been exploring Colombia for two weeks and this tour was by far our favorite!! We have thoroughly enjoyed the whole day with our guide Rafael from the moment he picked us up from our hotel to the moment he dropped us back there. It was incredible to see Wiwa's way of life!! Also you are going to see some stunning nature during an easy hike. Very delicious lunch is included. We are very thankful for this unforgettable experience!
