- Tayrona National Park - We will pick you up at the coordinated time, and after one hour of driving, we will arrive at the Tayrona National Park entrance. After we buy the tickets, pass the security gates and drive for about 10 more minutes, we leave the car in the parking lot and from that exact moment, our journey will start. It will be hard, it’s about 4 hours of ups and downs in humid weather (it takes just 15 minutes to be soaked in sweat), however, all of that will be left behind the moment you start watching the amazing coastline full of gigantic rocks that look like prehistoric dinosaurs eggs, the beautiful flora, and if we are lucky enough the three different types of monkeys that live there. Besides nature, you will also learn about the people who used to protect the area; The Tayronas, and also, their descendants, The Koguis, Wiwas, Kankuamos, and Arhuacos, we will explain to you their costumes, their history, and their current situation since we will meet some of them on our way.

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!

Tailored trips and travel in and around Tayrona - We used Bukap for 3 trips in Colombia. Private transfer from Cartagena to Tayrona National Park, day in the park with a guide and a transfer from Tayrona to Santa Marta airport. Communication and booking was easy and they were able to tailor the trips to what we needed. All 3 trips were excellent, with the highlight being the guided day tour of the park. Would definitely book through them again. Many thanks!

Great experience - It was great, we went to Tayrona and we were treated great. Guides Juan, Pilar and Luis dedicated themselves fully to show us the park and organize the excursion. Recommended 100%. Then I used the Bukap service to get from Santa Marta to Cartagena, and they also made it perfect. They are a Pro and modern company. Relief that can be paid in advance and with a suit, something that in Colombia is not yet as usual.

Private tour of the Tayrona Park - The private tour to the Tayrona Park was the best decision. Juan Polo was our tour guide and we were lucky to have him. He was funny, he knows a lot of. The history of the park, the nature, plants, animals , the Colombian culture, etc. he kept us going through tbd whole hike. We were able to spend a good amount of time in the main two beaches. The food was really good. Overall had an amazing time and will do it again and again. Our driver Hader was also a really nice person both Juan and Hader carry on with the conversation and we were able to learn things from Santa Marta and its surroundings.

Terrific punctual and professional company - Out of this world experience. Felt like we were in a Jurassic Park movie or something. What a beautiful hike with beaches that were incredible.
Bukap was so punctual and professional. Next time I book a tour and/or transportation I’ll be comfortable knowing they will come through and take care of everything.
Again really professional company with great people working for them. Couldn’t recommend any stronger

Erik: Best Tayrona Tour Guide you could ever dream up - I have never had a guide as good as Erik...in nearly every sense of what a guide can be. He was beyond knowledgeable of the rainforest - the flora, the fauna, the history of the place, the history of the indigenous people, the ties to current Colombia, etc. etc. etc. (and I emphasize the etceteras!!). You can feel his passion as he takes you across the 9-mile trek out and back. He loves Tayrona and everything in it. And his passion goes beyond walking through nature - Erik is also an accomplished and incredibly talented nature photographer (ask him to see him pictures!). From start to finish, I knew that I was in good hands. Erik loves to stop every few minutes to take a calm look and appreciate what is going on around you. Getting to the beautiful beaches was only the cherry on top of an otherwise incredible experience. In fact, if your goal is simply to just "get to the beaches as quickly as you can," I'd say you're wasting Erik's time! He'll happily take you, of course, though you are missing out on what would otherwise be such a deep and beautiful experience.

Excellent teenage family hike - Erik was a very friendly, knowledgeable, and communicative guide. It was a huge benefit having him to navigate the park admission and to have priority at the park entrance to avoid the long lines waiting to enter the park. Also, being able to drive into the park meant we spent more time enjoying the hike, fauna, and beaches. During the hike Erik was able to point out notable things along the way, including history and culture related the park, including the indigenous inhabitants, and assisting with our lunch and arranging horses for two of my teenage children for the return journey. The hike is strenuous, and we kept up a solid pace, but Erik is fit and enthusiastic at all times. I thoroughly recommend this tour for a family with teenage children.
