Haben die Tatacoa Wüste mit Green Vacation besucht. Unser Guide Juan Camillo und der Fahrer Serafin (sein Vater) waren wunderbar. Serafin ist ein zuverlässiger ruhiger Fahrer. Juan Camillo trabte mit uns durch die Grey und Red Zone.
Für uns bei 38 Grad ganz schön anstrengend. Die Red Zone ist aber eindeutig spektakulärer. Hatten Lunch Time zwischen den beiden Zonen in Villavieja. Essen sehr gut. Alles in allem ein gelungener Ausfllug in die Tatacoa Wüste.
Sehr zu empfehlen!!!

This tour is a total rip off. For the price they charged us, there was no air conditioned taxi provided in a taxi. When asked about it, the guide was lying by saying that it is better to be without air-conditioning vehicle! Guide Juan was a 20 years old kid. Did not even provide us with water and charged us $10 per person to swim in the middle of the tour. Whole idea was to cheat. Evening time red rock formation was good but that should have been done in the morning. Grey desert walking was a total let down with nothing to see. Please do not pay more than $30 per person for this type of tour.

Green Vacation Colombia will pick you up from your hotel in Neiva, Villavieja or Tatacoa. The full day tour takes in everything you need to see and do in the Tatacoa desert. Take your swimming suit and a towel as there is a swimming pool, filled with spring water, that you can visit for a refreshing dip. There are changing rooms on site.
I did the tour on Christmas Day. My guide was Juan-Camilo who was very personable and knowledgeable about the desert plants; rock formations and so much more. His interest and enthusiasm was inspiring.
We didn’t do the star-gazing part of the tour as the observatory was closed.
It’s a long day’s tour but worth every cent. You’ll see everything you need to see and you can ask the English speaking tour guide lots of questions.
