An incredible trip along the coast! Hi, I'm Sara and I welcome you to this journey. In May of this year 2023, I would like to make a trip along the Colombian coast from the city of Santa Marta to the northernmost point of South America, Punta Gallinas an indigenous natural reserve in La Guajira. With incredible landscapes, a diving course on a sailboat, beach and a lot of fun! 😎 That's why I am looking for 4-5 open-minded travel mates, who like adventure, are willing to live new experiences and spend a good time. A little about me, I am 23 years old, I am from Bogota, Colombia, I consider myself as a traveling soul who likes to explore new places, in addition to adapt to any type of plan from relaxing on the beach or extreme activities. I speak Spanish, English and a little bit of French 🤏🏽. I have experience in this kind of trips since I have done it several times, so I know how to move and where to go. ⛰ It is a trip of approximately 12 days, the cost includes: - 7 nights lodging in hostels - One night in a boat with accommodation in cabins with certified diving course (there is an option for those who don't want to dive), includes two lunches, one breakfast and one dinner. - A tour of 4 days and 3 nights in the natural reserve of La Guajira with meals included, transportation and sleeping in Chinchorros (it's like a Hammock) with room option for an additional price. 🛖 - This trip cost also includes a TripLeader fee per TripMate. The price does not include - Airplane tickets - Meals for the other days - Transportation between locations. If it sounds like a great trip for you, and you think you can't miss it, drop me a message 😉 Best, Sara
