The words of Monica

We are a Colombian travel agency founded in 2007, specialising in adventure and discovery, eco-tourism, and community tourism. Our agency is committed to providing visitors with a high-quality, authentic, and personalised experience in the beautiful country we call home. To make sure each trip that we organise is truly unique and unforgettable, we have worked closely with local communities and service providers from day one, building strong long-term relationships based on trust and mutual benefit. We are constantly working on strengthening, raising awareness, and reinforcing the capacity of our providers and community partners to guarantee the best service, authentic experiences, sustainable benefits, and the preservation of cultural and natural resources.

The agency's responsible commitment

Enhancing local premises and culture

Sustainability is so important to our agency that we were involved in the creation of Acotur, 'Asociación Colombiana de Turismo Responsable' (Colombian Association of Responsible Tourism) and remain one of its most active members today. By choosing to book your trip through our agency, you are directly contributing to our sustainability efforts: providing work for local Colombian companies, so that the revenue generated by tourism contributes to our country's development; supporting organisations that are engaged in the preservation of their surrounding environment and traditions; supporting communities through programmes that enable economic development and awareness; and reforestation through a project known as 'Walnut Maya' (for every traveller, one tree is planted!)

We planned a visit that was much too short and only had time to visit Bogata and Villa de Leyva. In Bogata, we loved the big attractions: Gold Museum and the Botero Museum and the smaller attractions of many local restaurants, neighborhoods and markets. We strongly recommend visiting the Salt Cathedral and Villa de Leyva and a horseback ride in the mountain foothills. As our trip was too short, we plan to visit again soon to learn about and enjoy other cities and the coffee area.

Semana Santa celebrations in Popayan. Excellent hotels throughout, particually Akawanka Lodge, Casa Lucy and Maloka Barlovento. The brief for the tour was fulfilled perfectly.

Colombia has a rich and diverse history and culture which we discovered form our travelling from Bogota and the experiencing the Amazon with a;ll its wildlife and indigenous people. We enjoyed the graffiti bike tour and markets in Bogota along with the restaurants and through the Gold Museum along with the Museum Botero truly world class experiences. We both thoroughly enjoyed Villa de Leyva and Baricharra where the hotels and the different excursions were great fun. Villa Nora near Armenia was a real delight and the hosts truly a delight - a fabulous and restful stop with wonderful bird watching in the garden. I would have much preferred 3 nights in Villa instead of doing 2 nights and then 1 night in Salento (see above comments). Barlovento was a beautiful place, despite the recent additional development there where we met some very interesting travellers. We could have done with an extra night there to enjoy the surroundings - even with Tayrona Park closed for February ! Minca was a good option and we enjoyed the waterfalls and pools for a refreshing swim and had a brilliant Paella at Antonio's restaurant. The drive to Carthagena was long - it took us 6 hours - probably because the road works around Carthagena were so bad and it was a Saturday. Ananda Hotel was a beautiful hotel with great rooms and friendly staff and well located. We enjoyed Carthagena very much - particularly the old town and Getsemani. All the internal flights worked very well and Avian in particular were great in ensuring all our luggage arrived at our final destinations.
