From Tayrona, Palomino or Guajira Park

If you're coming from Parc Tayrona, Bohemia Beach, Palomino or La Guajira, you don't have to return to the center of Santa Marta. You can ask to be dropped off at the Mamatoco gas station on the outskirts of Santa Marta. From there, take a cab, from 60,000 to 70,000 cop, or a motorcycle cab up to Minca, from 30,000 to 40,000 cop. Don't hire a motorcycle outside Motomink in Minca, as it doesn't know the access road.

With his 4×4 : Be careful !

To come with your own vehicle, it is imperative to have a high 4×4 with 4 wheel drive, and a solid experience in Off Road driving. It is impossible to climb with Duster type vehicles that do not have enough traction for this type of road. Try to come in the middle of the day, before 4pm. Avoid coming at night for the first time. During the rainy season (September to November), the road can become very muddy and difficult.

Come by Private Transfer and or 4×4.

He knows the route very well and has a fleet of 4×4s and vans that are perfectly suited for all types of terrain and roads. He can also pick you up at the Santa Marta airport or elsewhere in the region. Contact Yosneyder for rates. Payment by cash or credit card (+6%). Nighttime rates vary.
