We used Bukap Travels twice during our visit to Santa Marta and would highly recommend them to others. Diva guided us through Tayrona, we were impressed with her knowledge of the area and she kept a good pace for us to follow. If you go on the Tayrona your, bring small bills or change so you can purchase popsicles along the way. Juan Carlos drove us to our hotel and Cartagena which allowed us to learn more about the area and unwind. We enjoyed the embedded history lessons throughout the drive. During our travels, some areas were blocked off and Juan Carlos handled everything seamlessly. We made it to our destination safely and on time.

We did a hike to beautiful waterfall in Minca. At the waterfall we were able to swim in pristine cold water to cool down. The scenery was spectacular...the hike also included stop along the way at a coffee farm for a coffee discussion and tasting. After the waterfall we stopped at “Jungle Joes” hostel which Included a Cacao tasting and discussion. “Jungle Joes” cook an absolutely delicious gourmet lunch which is as good a meal as we have had in the 1.5years that we have been living in Colombia. Coordinating logistics and planning our excursion was great with this tour company....They were always extremely responsive.

I had an excellent 4-day trek with Miller, the fresh air was amazing, and we learned so much about the flora, fauna, and indigenous history and culture. I have recommended this company to friends who have also had amazing experiences. Additionally, Miller got us to the Ciudad Pérdida before any other group, so all of our photos are free of other trekkers! Highly recommend!

We only had 3 days to spend in Santa Marta. We booked 2 trips with Iguanas Tours. The first one was a hike in Tayrona park the other was in Minca (coffee tour and 2 waterfalls) . For both trips the service was great, Martin picked us up at the hotel. He has a lot of knowledge about the flora and fauna in Colombia as well as the culture. Snack and lunch is always provided. Fresh fruit and lunch in a local restaurant. It's always an option to adapt the trip to your personal needs. He also takes pictures during the trip so you can have the nice memories. The tours were great. The view's amazing and Martin is a really chilled out guy. When back in Santa Marta we will definetely do more tours.
