Our team here at Colombia Travel and Tours are local Colombianos and Colombianas with lifetimes of experience and knowledge behind them in their regions as explorers then guides, members of their communities who have spent decades here involved with maintaining indigenous roots and traditions to show to guests, learning safety and comfort resources to deploy in their cities and with local police, hospitals, and hospitality schools and 5 star hotels, and on their own unearthing the most picturesque landscapes off the beaten path.

Cultivating our own cartel of guides to make sure your human experience here is as awe-inspiring and diverse as the country itself is one of our operating codes. Our team has been a part of Lonely Planet’s private labeled excursions, recognized by Tripadvisor and Google Reviews and “Things to Do,” excursions and AcoTur for responsible tourism in Colombia. Our focus is to highlight the incredible people and diversity within Colombia with our own touchpoints and team on your tours! Our management have also ran special projects for BBC, Nat Geo, Google X, the US State Department, and the US Drug Enforcement Agency. Our guides have worked at Hyatt, Four Seasons, and Hilton and Marriott brands as well as Intrepid and Abercrombie and Kent brands in tourism and hospitality…

COTT also recognizes that we have a responsibility to Colombia to ensure it remains protected and that we leave as little a footprint as possible in its natural reaches. This is all too evident particularly in the Amazon, and we sincerely see capitalism in the form of ecotourism as a means to more quickly protect and monetize these places enough to position them for preservation. Many leave Colombia not just remembering it as another destination on their list, but a second home they’ve come to love (witness the hordes of digital nomads in Medellin, retirees in Cali and the countryside, and family bloggers in Cartagena and Santa Marta)… and we are sure you will feel the same! Vamos!
