Olinto's howling trail tour was THE highlight of my wife's and my trip to the Cartagena area. The day-trip eco-tour was the perfect change of pace from every other day's hustle and bustle activities. Taroa Adventures is incredibly worthy of its solid 5-star rating. Our trip started with a 5:45 pick-up from our Airbnb. We then drove out of the city and got a delicious breakfast and an overview of our day. We then drove to our trail and learned about native plants, animals, trees, and local culture through the course of our day trip and 4-mile trek. We listened and saw monkeys. We were also encouraged to activate all of our senses throughout the trek. Olinto was respectful and catered to our wants and needs during the tour, and was able to modify the trip and educational moments based on our group's interests. After our hike, we packed up and headed back to where we got breakfast for an even better Lunch. We recommend the fish for lunch! We were back by 2 PM for a siesta and had plenty of time to experience the night in Cartagena. I truly feel that if you go to Cartagena and do not go on one of Olinto's tours, you will be missing out. The price was absolutely worth it once I considered everything that I got on the tour. On top of providing close toed wellington boots, you also get a big 1L water bottle. Big water drinkers should bring another just in case. Breakfast and lunch were both delicious and perfectly timed. Olinto also had numerous recommendations of activities and other places to visit during our trip to Cartagena! His english was perfect, and was able to communicate easily in both English and Spanish!

We had an exceptional experience traveling to the dry tropical forest with our guide Olinto . Started in the early morning with breakfast and coffee for energy to enjoy a full day. Olinto has a true love and knowledge of this environment that he was more than happy to share with us. We saw and heard the sounds of the dry forest, including red howler monkeys, and rare cotton-top tamarin monkeys enjoying their natural space. It was a wonderful place to visit, see, understand, and learn. There is less than 10% of this Dry forest remaining to visit. We were happy we took the time…

I'm an avid hiker and was so happy that I found this hiking tour. I would have never guessed there would be such an amazing hike so close to Cartagena. Olinto, our guide, was brilliant, fun, and very professional. I learned a lot, saw a lot, and definitely would recommend this for those who love nature.

We did the Howling Trail Hike, and it was a highlight of our trip to Cartagena. Olinto is such an amazing person, whom you meet once and instantly feel a connection with, like a close friend. He clearly loves his country and the place where he grew up. The hike itself was incredible and lasted 4 hours. We saw red howler monkeys and the rare cotton-top tamarins, which look like little rock stars from the 80s. Olinto told us there are only about 6000 of them left in the wild, and we saw around 10-20, which was amazing. Besides the monkeys, we saw and heard a beautiful laughing falcon, countless other birds and butterflies, all kinds of fruits and uniquely shaped trees growing in the wild, and some brain-shaped mushrooms, which even Olinto said he had never seen before. After finishing, we had lunch at El Pescao de Mi Casa Restaurante. You must try their coconut-sauce fish, just trust me. If I were you, I wouldn’t think twice about doing this experience.

We had a fantastic day with Taroa tours. Olinto was a brilliant guide! We were lucky enough to see Cotton Top Tamarins and Howler Monkeys on the trail, as well as birds, butterflies and even a Boruga. Both breakfast and lunch on the way back were delicious. Don’t hesitate to book this hike!

We had an incredible day with Olinto. He gave us an amazing tour through the tropical dry forest. We saw lots of wildlife, including very rare cotton top tamarin monkeys and birds. The hike was very rewarding and not too challenging. Olinto is fill of knowledge and made sure we didn’t lack anything. I can highly recommend!

Olinto is a wonderful, knowledgeable guide who customized our tour just for us. The Howling Trail near Cartagena is a must if you love the outdoors and want to see the local flora and fauna. The sound (and site) of Howler monkeys will stay with me for life. It’s also a great way to escape the noise and hustle of the city for a day, but be prepared for the heat. Also, this is not a public trail, so be ready for some off-grid hiking.

We enjoyed our hike in the forest with Olinto. He is a guide passionate about nature and anxious to educate us about the flora and fauna of the dry rainforest. Hiking is easy and accessible for people who do not hike regularly. Olinto provides boots as there are sometimes muddy places/waterways to cross. We appreciated Olino’s concern for our comfort and hiking experience. Besides, he speaks very good English. We highly recommend this activity which makes us see another part of the Cartagena region

We loved the Howling Trail Hike with Olinto from Taroa Adventures! The day started by Olinto picking us up & driving us about 40 minutes outside of Cartagena to a local restaurant where we had an excellent & filling breakfast while he explained Colombia’s geography & described the biodiversity the area is home to. Eventually, we got to the trailhead which was behind a private property owned by locals that Olinto had befriended & gotten permission from to hike from their backyard. It was clear from the beginning that Olinto really cares about his business - he was very interested in what we were hoping to gain from the experience & had an evident respect for the nature we were walking through. Two locals from the community accompanied Olinto on our hike, which provided another opportunity to gain an additional perspective on the surrounding area. During the hike, we saw all three of the monkey species that are native to the area, which was super cool & memorable. The locals were excellent at identifying the monkeys in the trees & were helpful in pointing them out to us. Olinto was incredibly knowledgeable on the nature & plants in the area and we learned so much! The hike was about three hours long & while the flat terrain wasn’t difficult to hike, I’d say the biggest challenge was the humidity & the heat. I’d recommend wearing long pants & a long, breathable top (or layers) because of the bugs. I’d also definitely suggest wearing bug spray. The experience was truly special & exactly what we were looking for - we were immersed in nature & local culture and guided by Olinto who so clearly has a deep respect for the local inhabitants of the region, the animals the forest is home to & wildlife in general. Once we finished the hike & said goodbye to our local guides, we made the drive back to the restaurant where we had lunch. Just as breakfast had been, lunch was amazing. My boyfriend got the mojarra which he said was one of the best he’d ever had. During lunch, we had a great conversation with Olinto about his experience growing up & living in Colombia and learned a lot about his role owning Taroa Adventures for the last decade. I highly reccomend Taroa Adventures if you’re looking to be active, learn a lot & support a local small business. It was seriously one of the most memorable experiences I’ve had throughout my travels.
