Colombia is a land of incredibly diverse landscape, and this tour gives you the opportunity to see two of its most spectacular, unique attractions. Caño Cristales is a wonder of nature and truly has to be seen to be believed – bright red rivers swirl and flow fast into the distance, allowing for stunning photos. Tatacoa desert is difficult to describe – a vast, Mars-like landscape where at night you’ll have the most stunning view of the stars. Both tours promise to be like nothing else you’ve seen before.
