We are located about 65 kilometers away from the closest airport in the area - Santa Marta International Airport (SMR) - which takes approx 1 hour & 20 minutes by car to get to us. We recommend flying into Santa Marta International Airport for convenience. However, here is the distance to Gitana del Mar from other cities: Barranquilla approx 3 Hours in Private Car or Van Cartagena napprox 4.5 Hours in Private Car or Van Transport [In Marsol Public Van Service it's about 5-6 hours]

We will begin promptly on Wednesday, June 18th at 4pm. **Please coordinate your flights to arrive by the latest 12pm on the 18th to give yourself a stress-free arrival and to be checked in and settled at Gitana by 4pm. The Lab will end on Monday, June 23rd by 11am. **We recommend booking flights that depart after 3pm on the 23rd.

A visa is not required to enter Colombia for stays of less than 90 days for the majority of nationalities. I believe that all of you are from the countries that forgo a visa but please double check online if you are unsure. All you need is a valid passport and proof of return - you must have confirmation/proof of your return flight.

The Lab will be tailored for English speakers, however many parts will be translated from Spanish to English - so it is suitable for Spanish speakers as well. We will have translators to translate Kogi and Arhuaco into Spanish, and then English.

We will send a detailed packing list when the time is closer.
