About
If you’re looking for an authentic indigenous experience without a long journey, this is the activity for you.
Just one hour from the town of Río Ancho and only minutes from Palomino, you’ll find the indigenous community of Tunkeka — a Kogui settlement where the traditions, deep respect for nature, and ancestral wisdom of the Sierra Nevada are still very much alive.
During the visit, you’ll get an up-close look at their traditional homes and discover aspects of their customs and way of life.
The experience also includes a relaxing swim in the Riohacha River — a perfect moment to connect with the calm of the surroundings and close the journey with a sense of well-being and harmony.
