Tayrona paths:
Until now more than 400 mts of ancient Tayrona paths have been found and restored. More are to be discovered. The Reserva Biologica Caoba is situated were a small Tayrona town used to be hundreds of years ago. This gave us the idea to start to build Kogui houses, which are similar as the Tayronas were. One Kogui house is now ready to receive visits for a night or more. If you feel like going for a walk between the nature where the Tayronas used to walk on, than this is a right place to do it.
