DC, Tarporley Feb 2018
Our first visit (to Colombia) has stimulated a desire to return to experience more of this beautiful, friendly and welcoming country
GG, Banf Jul 2012
Our favourite organised trip was probably Cocora Valley. Absolutely stunning and the trek was tough, but well worth it. Our guide knew a lot about the wildlife and flowers too
MB, Oxford Nov 2019
Our two weeks in Colombia were extraordinarily stimulating on every level, from the warmth and friendliness of the Colombian people to the fertility of the countryside and its fascinating geology…
JM, London May 2014
Highlights?: Coffee region and Tayrona, lovely people everywhere
JM, St Albans Sep 2018
Colombia was superb. A wonderful variety of scenery and cultures, and people trying their hardest to live normal lives and welcome visitors very genuinely.
