Itinerary
Taironaka Turismo Ecológico Y Arqueología
5 hoursAdmission Ticket Included
Collected from your Santa Marta hotel at around 7am you’ll start your adventure into the jungle of the Sierra Nevada with a relaxing drive of approximately 1.5 hours to the entrance of the beautiful Rio Don Diego. Once here, you’ll jump out of the car and into a boat for a short 15 min ride up the river to Tayronaka.
On arrival to Tayronaka, you’ll immediately see the wonderful nature surrounding this archelogy site and begin to understand the significance of this location to not only the ancestral history of the Kogui indigenous. But that of all of Colombia, if not the history of the entire Americas.
You’ll walk over these ancient ruins and visit the museum filled with ageless artifacts for approximately an hour with your guide freely answering all your questions about the past and present location.

Next, it’s a short walk to the Kogui community that calls this land their home, and to meet some of the direct descendants of the Tayrona people who built these structures and lived in this region for thousands of years.
Meeting these kindhearted people is an experience in itself, but while here you’ll also receive an “aseguranza” which will safeguard you for all your future travels. Ensuring a Kogui spirit will help and guide you into the future. (Please note, a Mamo is available 99% of the time to provide this experience. But on rare occasions they have other obligations, and are unavailable)
To finish off your time here you’ll head off back down the river. But this time on/in your choice of a Kayak, a paddleboard, or a large inner tube.
Arriving at the mouth of the river where it opens into the Caribbean Sea you’ll be in time to enjoy some relaxing beach time before setting off back to your hotel to reflect on yet another day in the Caribbean paradise of Colombia.
