Reisprogramma

Dagen 1

Twee woestijnen, één sterrennacht

Twee woestijnen, één sterrennacht:

Ga op een buitengewone reis naar het hart van de Tatacoa woestijn, waar onze meeslepende tour zich ontvouwt te midden van de contrasterende landschappen van de "rode" en "grijze" woestijnen, elk met hun unieke charme en geologische wonderen. Je avontuur begint bij een vroege aankomst op Neiva Airport, waar een naadloze transfer je naar de fascinerende Tatacoa regio brengt.

Je verkenningstocht begint met een kennismaking met de "rode" woestijn, die zijn naam te danken heeft aan het roestige, stoffige uiterlijk dat het gevolg is van ijzerafzettingen in de bodem. Terwijl je het belangrijkste gebied doorkruist dat bekend staat als Cuzco, kun je getuige zijn van het labyrint van paden die door canyons slingeren, die in de loop van miljoenen jaren zijn gebeeldhouwd. De wanden, die lijken op gebeeldhouwde klei met rimpelingen van uitgebreide erosie, creëren een betoverend visueel tapijt. Een wandeling door dit ingewikkelde landschap is een onvergetelijke ervaring, een reis door de tijd zelf.

Na deze verkenningstocht kun je genieten van wat vrije tijd om tot rust te komen en inchecken in je hotel, zodat je verzekerd bent van een comfortabel en ontspannen verblijf tijdens je Tatacoa-ervaring.

Naarmate de dag vordert, gaat je reis verder met een rondleiding door de uitgestrekte "grijze" woestijn, die de artistieke bekwaamheid van de natuur laat zien met haar aparte tint. Deze grotere zone bewijst dat de natuur inderdaad de beste kunstenaar is. Volg het hoofdpad door de "Vallei der Geesten", genoemd naar de griezelige formaties in de grijze, opgedroogde grond. Sommige bezoekers zien zelfs dierlijke vormen en menselijke figuren in dit mystieke landschap, wat de intrige nog groter maakt.

Gedurende de hele dag integreer je momenten van ontdekking naadloos met perioden van ontspanning, zodat je verzekerd bent van een perfecte mix van avontuur en rust. Als de zon ondergaat, wacht het hoogtepunt met een betoverende sterrenkijkervaring in het Tatacoa Observatorium, waar de hemelwonderen die de nachtelijke hemel van de woestijn sieren worden onthuld.

Dagen 2

Transfer terug in de tijd naar San Agustin Archeologisch Park

Overdracht Villavieja - San Agustin

Je staat vroeg op om te profiteren van de koele ochtendlucht en het weinige verkeer voor je reis naar San Agustin.

Archeologisch Park San Agustín:

Na de lunch verken je de grootste necropolis ter wereld, het Archeologisch Park van San Agustín, dat zich ontvouwt als een betoverend tapijt van precolumbiaanse megalithische grafmonumenten en beeldhouwwerken.

Als je dit archeologische wonder doorkruist, kom je een uitgestrekt complex tegen met een schat aan historische schatten. Bewonder de ingewikkeld bewerkte stenen beelden, elk stuk vertelt verhalen uit de afgelopen eeuwen. Verken de zorgvuldig ontworpen begrafenisstructuren en grafheuvels, die elk de heilige gebruiken en overtuigingen onthullen van de precolumbiaanse beschavingen die ooit floreerden in deze regio. Deze rondleiding belooft een onvergetelijke verkenning van 's werelds grootste necropolis, waar elke steen getuigt van de oude beschavingen die het landschap vormgaven met hun kunstzinnigheid en eerbied voor het heilige.

Dagen 3

El Estrecho, Graven van Obando, Alto de las Piedras

El Estrecho, Graven van Obando, Alto de las Piedras:

Ga op een fascinerende reis en dompel jezelf onder in het rijke tapijt van de archeologische wonderen van San Agustin. Begin je ontdekkingstocht bij de Estrecho del Magdalena, een betoverend stuk waar de rivier versmalt tot slechts 2,20 meter. De canyonwanden, gemaakt van meer dan 70 miljoen jaar oude samengeperste lava, getuigen van de geologische wonderen van nabijgelegen vulkanen. Tussen de rotsen bieden oude zeeschelpen van meer dan 120 miljoen jaar oud een blik op de fascinerende geschiedenis die in dit landschap is geëtst.

Vervolg je odyssee naar het museum en de tombes van Obando, een heilige enclave vol mystiek. Hier roepen urnen, heilige kamers in grotten en trappen die naar de diepte leiden een aura op die doet denken aan de graven van Tierradentro. Dompel jezelf onder in de fijne kneepjes van het complex, waar keramiek, potten van klei, replica's van gouden voorwerpen en schilderijen de levensstijl van voorouders onthullen en de echo's van een vervlogen tijdperk bewaren.

Ga verder naar Alto de la Piedras, waar monumentale beelden, kunstmatige heuvels en grote tombes versierd met levendige, veelkleurige schilderingen op je wachten. Ontdek de geheimen van deze archeologische schatkamer, waar de erfenis van vroegere beschavingen eeuwig bewaard is gebleven in de vorm van indrukwekkende bouwwerken en artistieke uitingen.

Terwijl je door deze drie belangrijke plaatsen navigeert, laat je de oude verhalen zich ontvouwen, een verhaal wevend dat de tijd overstijgt en je verbindt met het diepe erfgoed van San Agustin.
