Private Tour
From $0 - 5 days

¡Paisajes e historia impresionantes!

Este breve viaje por Colombia le llevará a visitar dos magníficos sitios declarados Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO en los Andes centrales de Colombia: los parques arqueológicos de San Agustín y Tierradentro. El Parque Arqueológico de San Agustín alberga el mayor conjunto de monumentos religiosos y esculturas megalíticas de Sudamérica, mientras que Tierradentro alberga la mayor concentración de tumbas de tiro monumentales precolombinas con cámaras laterales, conocidas como hipogeos.

Esta será una gran oportunidad para aprender sobre las antiguas culturas precolombinas que habitaron esta zona de Colombia mientras disfruta del espectacular paisaje de montañas, valles y cañones de esta región. También aprenderá sobre el proceso de elaboración del café y admirará el paisaje único del desierto de la Tatacoa.

DAY 2 Parque Arqueológico de San Agustín

Pasaremos la mañana en el sitio principal del parque arqueológico. El parque es una exposición al aire libre con aproximadamente 16 túmulos funerarios reconstruidos y cientos de esculturas megalíticas. También podremos ver materiales arqueológicos relacionados en el museo del sitio.

Las esculturas y monumentos del parque se remontan a la mitología de los pueblos prehispánicos que habitaron la zona hace cientos de años y que fueron forzados a abandonarla y trasladarse a las regiones amazónica y orinoquía de Colombia alrededor del año 1400. El grupo prácticamente desapareció en esa época. Las fechas de las estatuas son inciertas, pero se cree que fueron talladas entre el 5 y el 400 d. C.

En el parque, visitaremos varios sitios, incluyendo: el Bosque de las Estatuas, la Mesita A, la Mesita B, la Mesita C, el Alto de Lavapatas y la Fuente de Lavapatas, un complejo laberinto de pozas y canales de agua excavados en la roca con figuras de animales y humanos. Se utilizaba para ceremonias religiosas y baños.

Después de visitar el parque, tendremos tiempo para almorzar antes de ir a El Tablón y La Chaquira. En El Tablón veremos otras estatuas antropomorfas. Luego, haremos una caminata hasta La Chaquira, uno de los sitios más impresionantes, con deidades talladas en la roca escarpada sobre la hermosa quebrada del Río Magdalena.

Overnight: San Agustin
Meal Plan: Breakfast

DAY 3 El estrecho del río Magdalena y la plantación de café

El río Magdalena es el más importante de Colombia y la quinta cuenca hidrográfica más grande de Sudamérica. Se extiende desde los Andes Centrales y Orientales, al sur del país, hasta el mar Caribe, al norte. Recorre casi 1528 kilómetros y alberga una gran diversidad de ecosistemas, como bosques, montañas, valles y humedales. Dado que su nacimiento se encuentra cerca de San Agustín, hoy podremos visitar el estrecho de Magdalena, donde el río discurre por un estrecho cañón de poco menos de 3 metros de ancho.

Esta región de Colombia, además de ser famosa por sus sitios arqueológicos, también es muy importante por su café de alta calidad. Por lo tanto, después de visitar el Estrecho de Magdalena, iremos a una finca cafetera para aprender todo sobre la cosecha y la elaboración del café, desde la siembra de los granos hasta la recolección y el tostado. Aprenderemos a seleccionar y recolectar únicamente las cerezas maduras, catarlas y evaluar su calidad, como un experto en café.

Overnight: San Agustin
Meal Plan: Breakfast

DAY 4 Parque Arqueológico de Tierradentro

Temprano por la mañana, iniciaremos un recorrido de aproximadamente 4 horas y media hacia el municipio de Inzá, donde se ubica el parque arqueológico de Tierradentro. Este espectacular parque arqueológico alberga la mayor concentración de tumbas monumentales precolombinas de tiro con cámaras laterales, conocidas como hipogeos, excavadas en la toba volcánica bajo las cimas de las colinas y las cordilleras.

Por la tarde, visitaremos las tumbas más interesantes del Alto de Segovia. Algunas tumbas de Tierradentro miden alrededor de 12 metros de ancho y están enterradas hasta 7 metros de profundidad. Fueron excavadas directamente en roca volcánica. Lamentablemente, muchas tumbas se han deteriorado con el tiempo debido al saqueo de los ladrones de tumbas en el pasado, pero algunas aún conservan visibles motivos de diseño rojo y negro en su interior, que se cree que reproducen la decoración interior de las casas de la época. Revelan la complejidad social y la riqueza cultural de una sociedad prehispánica en los Andes del norte. Lamentablemente, la sociedad prehispánica que construyó estas maravillas ha desaparecido, pero estas tumbas dejan un importante vestigio de su vida cotidiana.

La entrada principal del parque está rodeada por el pequeño resguardo indígena de San Andrés de Pisimbalá, donde pasará la noche. Este resguardo cuenta con una sola calle principal, una pequeña iglesia y algunas casas.

Overnight: Tierradentro
Meal Plan: Breakfast

DAY 5 Aventura en el desierto de la Tatacoa. Fin del recorrido.

Después del desayuno, emprenderemos nuestro viaje hacia el desierto de la Tatacoa, la segunda zona árida más grande de Colombia después de la península de la Guajira. El trayecto total desde Tierradentro es de aproximadamente 4 horas y media. Haremos una parada en el camino para admirar el paisaje y tomar algo.

El Desierto de la Tatacoa se encuentra en Villavieja, un pequeño pueblo a 45 minutos de Neiva, capital del departamento del Huila. Durante nuestra visita, contemplaremos los impresionantes paisajes del desierto rojo (sector Cusco) y el surrealista y lunar terreno del desierto gris (sector Los Hoyos).

El paisaje del desierto rojo está adornado por asombrosos laberintos tallados por el agua y la erosión. El color rojo de la roca también indica su riqueza en hierro. En esta zona, también se puede visitar el Árbol de los Deseos. La creencia local dice que quien encuentre una hoja doblada en forma de corazón y la despliegue sin dañarla podrá pedir un deseo.

Al visitar el desierto gris, con sus piedras color ceniza interrumpidas por algunas manchas verdes de vegetación, te sentirás como en la luna. En este sector, visitarás el Valle de los Fantasmas, nombre que recibe la zona donde las piedras tienen una extraña similitud con entidades sobrenaturales que emergen del suelo.

Al finalizar el recorrido lo trasladaremos al aeropuerto de Neiva.

Nota: Como los vuelos no están incluidos, reserve un vuelo por la tarde o noche desde Neiva. Si necesita ayuda, contáctenos .

Absolute perfection

Blown Away

I'll write 2 reviews. First the quick one; every detail was taken care of, the destinations are world class, communication was excellent. I would give them 6 out of 5 if I could.

The guide UC booked for us was exceptional. He knew his stuff, was very good with e-bird, he was an intersting guy and an overall good bean. Our tour actually started in Barranquilla - we were met at the airport, taken to the finest hotel in town. The next day we were taken on a city tour. I didn't know much about the city so I was very pleasantly by how much I liked it. The carnival museum is fabulous, we really enjoyed the boardwalk around a lagoon.

Tour of Medellin and local villages.

Sol, our tour guide, was amazing. We did a three day tour of Medellin and local villages nearby. Sol shared her vast knowledge of the political and social recent history of the region. She led the tour at our pace. She was lovely to be with. The driver was very cautious. It was a great experience.

– Lynn, February 2025

Great to work with!

Uncover Colombia was fantastic to work with! We had a 12 day itinerary and everything went very well. The agency reps were very flexible before and during the trip even when we requested last minute changes. They always did their best to accommodate us. The assigned contact person during the trip was always reachable and responsive. Even later at night. She sent me our guides contact information before each leg of the trip and they also reached out as we were arriving . The guides were all good and the vehicles were comfortable. I definitely would use them again and refer my friends as well.

– Gary, December 2024

Great organization - even at short notice!

My girlfriend and I wanted to visit Colombia, but were late in the planning. We reached out to Uncover just a couple of weeks before our departure and they were able to organize the whole tour in just a few days, and for a more than fair price...

– David, December 2025

We highly recommend!

We had a FANTASTIC experience with Uncover. Nidia and her team organized the most magical 4-day trip to the Colombian Coffee Region. I am Colombian but needed assistance as I wasn’t familiar with the area. We went to the Cocora Valley, Rafting down a river, had a fabulous coffee farm experience and even visited a cacao farm where we got to make artisan chocolate. We traveled with our school aged children...

We return to Australia with an awareness of Colombia’s variety, vitality and positivity.

Amazing tour with Uncover Colombia - San Agustin, Tierradentro and Tatacoa

My mother and I did a 5-day trip to San Agustin, Tierradentro and the Tatacoa dry forest/desert with Uncover Colombia. It was absolutely brilliant. The communication was great and Nidia helped us to ensure that the trip was tailored to our needs and wishes. Our driver, Jesus, and guide, Jorge, were very friendly and Jorge was very knowledgable. I can highly recommend using Uncover Colombia for your trip!

– Nora, February 2024

Highly Recommended

Uncover Columbia, specifically Helena (who handled all logistical questions pre-trip) Sergio (our amazing guide) helped make an unforgettable 4 day experience as part of our honeymoon.

– Mates, July 2024

Every day a different experience and not a moment wasted

Uncover Colombia did a wonderful job of providing me with a itinerary covering some of the best of Colombia's many highlights covering cities and villages, mountains and beaches, and more, and accommodating my own wishes and preferences. Every day was a different experience and a chance to see something completely different from my own life, not a moment was wasted and I never felt rushed.

4 day Amazonas Tour

It was actually two whole days plus two half days. Everything was well organized. I was accompanied by our guide Sergio from the first to the last minute. He was very nice, helpful and knowledgeable. The program was very exciting and I felt safe and in good hands at any time.

– Rob, February 2023

A perfect organization!

I'm the Italian President of CIGV (Club Internazionale Grandi Viaggiatori) and I decided to organize the trip to Colombia for 14 club members selecting Uncover Colombia agency. The program they made has been fantastic, touching the most interesting sites of this country but also their, guides, drivers and hotel selection I found simply perfect. Not a mistake, never a delay. I would recommend this agency to everyone...

– Luca, January 2023

Great tour of Salt Cathedral

Myself and my wife did a private tour with Juan Carlos to the Salt Cathedral. The tour and Juan Carlos were both great. He had an intimate knowledge of the Salt Cathedral having worked there previously, and also knew a lot about the nearby town and local area. It's a really fascinating structure, and would definitely recommend visiting it if you're in Bogota.

– Barra M, January 2023

Arranged an incredible two week trip

We had an amazing two weeks tour arranged by Uncover Colombia for our honeymoon. Nidia suggested great hotels and activities and made adjustments based on our feedback. All our tour guides were friendly, knowledgeable and professional with excellent English. Great activities in a beautiful country. They've got a UK-base so are ATOL protected - reassuring given uncertainty with travel at the moment. 

– Louise, October 2022

Fantastic 15 day Tour of Colombia

We selected Uncover Colombia after reading their great reviews online and it was definitely the right choice. They were the best communicators and within a few emails back and forwards, we had tailored our perfect tour. We spent 15 days traveling Colombia, with all connections, accommodation and activities being handled by Uncover...

– Ben, September 2022

7 extra days in Colombia

We needed a tailored tour to follow a wedding we were attending and wanted to make the most of our travels. Nidia was helpful, responsive and excellent in organising our trip from Periera to Medellin, Cartagena and Bogota. Everything worked like clockwork. Our 3 guides (one for each place) were also perfect, Andreas, Roberto & Camilo. They knew their stuff, were responsive and very personable.

– Daniel, August 2022

 

Local experts of "Uncover Columbia" is the best

They Organized activities in Bogota, Medellin and Cartagena for the two of us. They modified the activities to our needs of seeing wilderness as well as a local culture. Been around the word a few times, we were a little demanding as well. They came thru on everything at a very reasonable price.. Pays to have local organizers like them who truly know Columbia and the needs of the Clients...
