Will you be booking the airline ticket from Bogotá to La Macarena, or should I handle the booking myself?

We recommend starting the tour on August 28 and returning on August 30, as flights from Bogotá to La Macarena only operate on specific dates. The flight arrangement has a cost of USD 450 per person. We have checked availability and flights are currently very limited, so we strongly recommend booking in advance to avoid any inconvenience. We will help you to arrange the tickets once you have made your booking. Flights on this route sell out quickly.

Looking for a 3 day trip to the Caño Cristales. Could you indicate the price for flights from Bogota? Would it be possible to arrive from Bogota but departure to Santa Marta?

We are currently checking availability, especially regarding flights. We will get back to you as soon as possible.

how early is the meeting time in Bogota airport? What time is the flight leaving? is the return flight to Bogota included? What time do we arrive in Bogota?

The departure time depends on the day, as flight schedules vary, though they are generally in the morning. Round-trip flights to and from Bogotá are included in the package.

Can you confirm what the flight times are to/from Bogota? Can you also confirm the cost for 1 person for english speaking guide? What hotel is it called in La Macarena?

Normally the flight to La Macarena takes place by 8 am, then the return flight gets to Bogota by 2 pm (approx.). Single supplement rate is usd 1,790 + Air Ticket (usd 300). Hotels are several and just depends of booking date.

Do they have separate beds in rooms for 2 people? Are there possibilities to see pink dolphins during Rio Guayabero trips?

We can offer 2 twin beds if needed. Seeing dolphins depends on the river and luck, they are not always visible.

We are planning to go to Cartagena immediately after our planned tour of Caño Cristales and not stay in Bogota that night and would like to know: 1. What time does the flight back from La Macarena usually land in Bogota? 2. Is it possible to book a connecting flight from Bogota directly to Cartagena the same day that we return from La Macarena (Day 3) so that we don't need to leave the airport and instead just get on a separate flight? 3. How would the tour operators accommodate this change and would the prices be different?

the flight back from La Macarena lands in Bogota by 2 pm approx. ( it can change any time). yes you can fly from Cartagena to bogota at 5:00 am ( approx) but if there is a flight cancellation or delay we are not responsable and you might miss the flight to La macarena. yes you can fly to cartagena the same day but night time. this price is sharing the tour with other people ( we still need to see availability for this dates ). otherwise if you prefer it in private , we can offer it any time but we need to add the Private rate.

The tour was quite informative. We learned a lot about the culture and history of Colombia. There were also some very interesting and fun excursions to the countryside. All the guides, with one exception, were very experienced and knowledgeable. Most of the hotels were basic, some with very small rooms and one with no hot water. The food was quite good although our inability to speak Spanish made some interactions with locals difficult at times. I felt like this was a country that was just starting to learn the intricacies of hosting tourists. I would recommend this tour for the curious traveller with a fondness for adventure and learning.Show more
