About this trip
La Tatacoa lies in Villavieja, Huila. Although commonly called a desert, it is a tropical dry-forest landscape shaped by erosion. The Cuzco and Los Hoyos sectors offer different walks best organised with local support. Stargazing can complement your visit but depends on cloud cover and your chosen observatory’s operations. Transport and walks are coordinated according to your time and group’s needs.
