Superb desert - Great place and great tour. We learned some very interesting information about the formation of this desert. The temperature is very hot, you need to bring fresh water and a hat to protect yourself from the sun 🌞

The heat and the stars - The Tatacoa desert is an arid beauty, a Nirvana for those who want to enjoy a starry sky. Walking through its dry tropical forest is entering a magical tale where you can appreciate the beauty of its rock formations, its varieties of cacti and its wild animals. , in a meeting between the universe and the earth

Tatacoa from another point of view - A different tour from the classic visit to the desert because you know the real extent of the desert. Highly recommended for those who enjoy natural history and geology.
