Is there any flight from isla Gorgona to Medellin or from Guapi or another place near there to Medellin?
Do they have a budget accommodation in isla Gorgona?Can we find and book ourselves a hotel around 100.000 for a couple and be a good place?Gracias!

As far as I know the only flight to Guapi is from Cali and I think one RT per day. The ONLY accomadations on Gorgona are those with the National Park Service. I don't think there are any acceptable rooms in Guapi. From this and your previous post you really don't have the concept of exactly what Gorgona is like. I strongly you do some extensive research before considering the trip. Gorgona and Gorgonilla are isolated Islands in the Pacific Ocean, 57km from the nearest mainland point. Guapi is a very small fishing village whose only communication is by air or boat. There are 2 cars/trucks which transport things from the waterfront to the airport. You can only book through the National Park System and their bookers. There are a very limited number of bunks on the island and only a half dozen cabins. No resturants except the Park service one, no stores, no cars or motorcycles, non drug use, etc etc. It is an ISOLATED tropical island that was once a high security prison from which no one ever escaped.

you can fly from cali to guapi and then take one of two boats to gorgona. The island has limited accomodation which you would need to book before you go- otherwise you will not be able to stay. Note - you are not allowed to bring alcohol or some types aerosols . Guapi is a very poor fishing village - not much to see there except poverty.
My advice would be to book the whole trip through an agent.
Gorgoana is lovely- when you get there.
