Enjoyed every bit of the day and would certainly recommend this experience. - Communication with Santiago was timely, clear and professional. Both the driver and guide were on time, attentive and happy to answer my many questions. The experience was seamless from start to finish. The guide was enthusiastic and pointed out trees, birds, insects and monkeys, all of which was amazing. The hike in the forest was pleasant and the views fantastic, and so was lunch! I enjoyed every bit of the day and would certainly recommend this experience.

Amazing trip to tayrona national park - This was an amazing trip and a must do if you are ever visiting Colombia. We had a fantastic experience in the park from seeing monkeys to capybaras. We had a fantastic tour guide Hugo and driver arnel. The tour guide explained all of the history while allowing us to enjoy the park and see the animals. He also provided a delicious lunch that I will be dreaming about when I am gone. Overall, I will be recommending this tour (specifically to ask for Hugo for your tour) to all of my friends and family visiting Colombia.

Best driver and guide! - We had an extraordinary experience. Our driver, Hader, was extremely competent because there was a big accident on the road and he was able to find detours to avoid huge traffic. He was also very friendly. Also, we had Eric, the best guide we met in all our travels around the world (I’m not exaggerating). If you are passionate about wildlife, it is the best choice for you. He must also be an excellent co-worker because he makes sure to translate to his colleagues to involve them in the conversion. He values them too. We will miss the Bukap team! Nadia and Gabriel from Quebec (Canada) 😘

Amazing experience from beginning to end - We could not have asked for a better day. We are a family of 4 adult children with our spouses and our 86 year old father. A comfortable van stocked with water showed up exactly on time. Eric and David, our two guides, were perfect. Eric is a passionate and expert naturalist and historian and was able to give this very curious group fascinating information about the Indigenous peoples, plants, birds and animals on our hike into the jungle to an archeological village. He knew everything! David was so kind with my father, helping him with a few tricky areas on the path. After the hike and tour of the village, we went on a one hour tubing excursion down river to where it meets the sea. On the way we saw ospreys, fish eagles, howler monkeys and other wonderful creatures. Eric had bags of oranges and other local fruit to share with us and we spent about 20 minutes on a lovely beach. Then we went back upriver by boat to a tiny restaurant in the jungle. Fresh fried snapper for lunch for $10 per person!
