La Candelaria guided walk in Bogotá: fruit tasting, street art, major landmarks, and history to Bolívar Square. Small group, $16.

“Cesar was absolutely amazing! If I could give him more than 5 stars I would— he really made us feel welcomed, just like family. He joked with us, hung out as if we’ve known each other for years and he provided great history along the way and at each stop and the hospitality was beyond. 💯 do not hesitate to book!”

A guided day trip from Santa Marta to Tayrona National Park, with a 4-hour forest hike, Cabo San Juan swim, and a viewpoint.
“Malheureusement, je trouve que l’activité ne vaut pas du tout son prix. Le guide ne parlait pas un mot anglais, ok c’était précisé que l’activité se faisait en espagnol mais à certains moments on se savait pas quoi faire et il ne nous aidait pas. Pendant tout le trajet il avait l’air pressé, il enchaînait tout et il ne prenait pas le temps de se poser. Le trajet est de plus ou moins 12km et c’est un aller retour, on reprend le même chemin pour rentrer et ça va encore plus vite que pour l’aller. Je vous conseille vivement de le faire par vous même, ce n’est pas compliqué car…”
A half-day Cartagena outing to Totumo Mud Volcano with a bilingual guide, plus lunch and pool time at a beach resort.
“My daughter, mother and I went and had a great and relaxing time. Air conditioned van, nice tour guide and the volcano experience was nice. Be prepared to tip guys for a 5 minute massage in the volcano and the ladies in the river as well, whom will rinse you off. Those are optional, you don’t have to advantage of those services if you don’t want too but it was a nice experience”
Guided Tatacoa Desert day trip from Neiva, with Red and Gray Desert hikes, lunch, desert swim, Magdalena River boat ride, and stargazing.
“it was incredible. only myself, a German guy and a Colombian woman but we all got along really well. there's so much value for money AND we even opted out of things. We came for the deserts which didn't disappoint but also the surprise boat ride on the river really broke up the day. I can't recommend this enough!!”
Guided hike in Tayrona National Park to Cabo San Juan del Guía, with Kogui community time, wildlife spotting, and beach swimming from Santa Marta.
“No vale la pena pagar este tour. Es preferible llegar al parque y uno mismos comprar el seguro y pagar su entrada. Ir al paso de un grupo es perder mucho tiempo, los guías estuvieron ausentes todo el recorrido, y al final iban el bus bebiendRead more”
A 4-hour Medellín tour that connects Pablo Escobar’s real life to Netflix, visiting key sites like Inflexión Memorial Park and Montesacro Cemetery.
