Tatacoa Desert, Meteor Shower
Villavieja, Huila · Easy
About this adventure
The Tatacoa desert has become one of the places we've taken the most people to, and every year we love coming back to see everyone's surprise when that reddish landscape welcomes us.
In Tatacoa we'll enjoy both day and night, making the most of every day there to see as much as we can.
Highlights: the Red Desert (Laberintos del Cuzco), the Gray Desert (Valley of the Xylopals, Valley of the Ghosts), a pool in the middle of the desert, Piscilodo mud pool, a craft brewery, the observatory, a meteor shower, the Magdalena river and an archaeological museum.
A deposit of at least COP 200,000 holds your spot.
