Al last the moment I’ve so been waiting for!
I have been traveling for 15 years and I have had this idea, which today becomes real. Putting together all the bits and pieces that I have picked up on the road, combining it with my passion for traveling, to share with the world the wonders of my country: Colombia.
What am I looking for when I travel?
Living an unforgettable experience. Plunging into strong and regenerating emotions; changing perspective of things, giving that spark to my existence that sometimes is missing in my daily life; recovering my natural curiosity which allows me to appreciate the magic of small things and simple gestures and enables me to be in the moment that I am living: my prefect present.
When I travel I want to learn! From the country I am visiting I want to contemplate its landscapes until I am filled with its colors; I want to talk and sing with its people, listen and dance to its music, get intoxicated with its scents and flavors, feeling the sun caressing my skin, surrender to a range of possibilities that with their novelty arise my senses.
The magic of traveling is the gift of change. The traveler acquires a new understanding of the place: its nature and geography, its people and culture, its needs and potentials. The place welcomes a visitor who, with his attention, adds value to it and its people. It is within the subtleness of this exchange that depends in my opinion, the success of the trip. If it enables a real and genuine contact the traveler will be transformed (in his/her way of thinking, feeling, and intending to participate). I strongly believe that it is from these individual transformations that great ideas and beautiful projects may flourish.
My goal is to offer each person the possibility of composing the trip according to tastes, preferences, and budget. But one thing is for sure, the trip will be tailored to provide an authentic and genuine contact with Colombia, the country where I was born and feel passionate for.
It is a country with great natural and cultural wealth, unknown to many, unexploited still, which allowed it to keep its innocence as a touristic destination.
I want to offer the possibility for each one to put together the trip of his/her dreams. And since everybody has different dreams, it’s just a matter of choice:
Relaxing on white sand beaches in the Caribbean coast or scuba diving and whale watching in the Pacific Ocean, dancing to the beat of salsa while enjoying a local rum or maybe just strolling on the ramparts of a charming colonial city…
Trekking on the mythical Andes to visit an Indian town, or even reach the perpetual snow glaciers at 5200m(17 000 feet) and then plunge into therapeutic hot springs…
Horseback riding through the enchanting coffee fields on to a mystic fog forest home to the astounding wax palm…
Canoeing down the Amazon river, while you bird watch spied by monkeys, caimans, anacondas, pink dolphins, to get to your accommodation: a cabin in the jungle 15m(50 feet) up on the canopy …night concert guaranteed!
Whatever might be the traveler’s choice, I wish the trip to be a life altering, enriching experience, which creates an authentic link with Colombia. The visitor can be confident of leaving behind the most beautiful footprint.
You have inspired me to visit your wonderful country. I am looking forward to learning more of the trips one can make and the activities available. Can you give me some ideas for a 10 day trip? The Amazon and beach sound most appealing but I am open to your advice. What about flights? can you recommend an economic airline or can you help with organising flights. Thanks for inspiring me to plan my next trip.
