Description

Explore the Tatacoa Desert on a guided tour from Villavieja. Ride a horse through the desert, take a dip in a mineral water pool, and watch the sunset over the desert. Begin your adventure in Villavieja, where you will take a tuk-tuk up to the entrance of the desert. From there, begin a 2-hour horseback ride, during which you can admire the landscapes of this tropical dry forest and learn about the vegetation of the place. Continue to the mineral water pool where, if you wish, you can enjoy a relaxing bath in the middle of this arid landscape. Return to Villavieja to have lunch and rest before heading out to explore the Magdalena River by boat, accompanied by a local who will share some of his fishing secrets. After the boat ride, walk through the gray and ochre parts of the desert and wait for sunset to hit the rainbow path. Pass one of the most representative landscapes, where your guide will show you key formations formed from water and wind, including the Cathedrals, the Tower, the Wishing Tree, and the Labyrinths. At nightfall, you'll be invited to enjoy a glass of cactus wine at the Cuzco viewpoint while observing the impressive starry sky of the desert or you will be continuing to your next destination.
