Colombia luxury tour for over 50s, 2 weeks

Planet

Our staff guides are experienced in conservation and environmental issues. We transfer their knowledge to our guests so that they learn how to reduce their footprint while traveling to Colombia.

We encourage our suppliers and guides to minimize plastic waste in all areas. We often even pick up trash left by other travelers on their tours, which we deposit only in places where sorting and recycling of waste are possible.

In this package destinations such as the Colombian amazon, cacao and coffee farm, Rosario Islands and Tayrona Park are natural places (mostly all places of Colombia), that’s why we pay special attention so that we do not disturb any wild animals, and birds or plants in their natural habitat. Naturally, of course, we do not touch unnecessarily any fauna or any living entity.

In the Amazon, we book a local tour operator that has a commitment to responsible tourism. Focussing on conservation, support for local communities, and a commitment to reducing waste and carbon emissions.

It is important to remember that you are a guest in the animals' natural habitat and, stay on designated trails to avoid damaging fragile ecosystems.

We always encourage travelers to visit locally owned fincas in the countryside, where the daily practices help protect the environment and ensure that local flora and fauna are well-preserved. In our Cacao and coffee tour, you’ll be surrounded by cacao, coffee, exotic fruits, wonderful nature, birds, and wild bamboo. Your guide will be explaining to you the complete process of the production of both, as you’re walking through this lush paradise
.
On this trip, we will be visiting locations of high importance in natural aspects such as the Rosario Islands which are surrounded by protected reefs, and Tayrona Park in The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta; the highest coastal mountain in the world. This Park offers extraordinary beaches, rivers, and dry forests. We care about the conservation of water and marine life so we create awareness in our guests so that our beaches and resorts remain clean and we can continue to offer unforgettable experiences.

People

All the partners with whom we collaborate on our tours, or through our office and internet business, have their base in Colombia.

We almost entirely work with smaller local businesses or families with whom we want to establish a long-term relationship, without intermediaries. This gives our guests a unique insight into each destination and with us, they travel and think like the locals. Our primary concern with tourism in Colombia is to ensure that there is only a positive impact on local communities and culture.

Our group size on this trip is a maximum of 12 pax. This way, we will not be an overwhelming presence in the local environment or local communities.

For all our guests there is always pre-trip information available for each destination. Where possible, we like to ensure that upon arrival they feel comfortable and confident ahead of their Colombian experience. Greeted by the local guide at the airport, who is our representative, they will have explained to them all the details of the tour and be provided with additional local information. For this, our guests are generally very appreciative.

We support local businesses purchasing souvenirs or dining out at locally-owned businesses that support the local economy avoiding purchasing items made from endangered species or materials that contribute to deforestation.

The Amazon region is home to a rich and diverse indigenous culture. That's why we respect their customs and traditions and seek permission before taking photographs or interacting with local communities.

In Medellin, we visit a local market, where the fruit tasting will be. The fruit tasting is not only a delicious and fun activity but also a cultural experience, as it provides a glimpse into the rich culinary traditions of Colombia. Visitors can learn about the role of fruits in Colombian cuisine, and discover new fruits and flavors that they may not have encountered before. That same day, we will be visiting a completely transformed neighborhood, something that would certainly have been unimaginable for 15 years due to the violence and lack of security. The tour includes opportunities to meet with local residents, artists, and community leaders, who will share their personal stories and insights about life in Comuna 13. Visitors can sample local food and drinks, and shop for souvenirs at the artisan markets.

On this trip, you'll be interacting with local people who are passionate about preserving their environment and natural resources and may inspire you to take action in your own life and make more sustainable choices.
