CARBON REDUCTION
This trip places a special emphasis on low-impact travel and environmental preservation; as you will see, most activities consist of walking, excursions (both guided and independent), and leisure time, allowing you to appreciate the benefits of this mode of travel throughout your vacation.
There are segments of the itinerary where walking is not feasible due to long distances—which would impact both the schedule and our clients' physical well-being—so these are the only times we utilize motorized transport. Whenever available, we use hybrid or electric vehicles to help minimize our footprint. However, some locations are inaccessible to such vehicles due to road conditions or vehicle design limitations; therefore, we always select the best option suited to the environment, group size, and availability to ensure adherence to best environmental practices. You will have so much fun while training and challenging your body in activities like Monserrate in Bogotá, exploring the stunning Tayrona National Park in Medellín, walking through the Salt Cathedral, and a four-day trek to the Lost City, all designed to keep our carbon footprint low.

Although some domestic flights are required due to distances, (in this trip we have 2 flights, by land those journeys would take 9 and 18 hours or more each one), we offer shared ground transportation alternatives to further reduce carbon emissions. This is up to the client, but off course we can manage to help you. To complement, we are always attentive about climatic conditions, because in rainy seasons, the best alternative are flights, roads could suffer some accidents and we tried to prevent this situations for our clients. Additionally, all trips are customizable with vegetarian and vegan options available.

Also, you will se how the restaurants here are local and with the most fresh food, helping our farmers and families whose principal source of income is turism, restaurants and customer service.

Local expert guides accompany travelers, sharing knowledge of the region. A portion of each package (1%) supports reforestation projects in Colombia, Brazil, and Ecuador. Did we mention the organizations we are partnership with? Maybe you have heard of Saving Nature, Tree Nation or the Bioconservancy Foundation, well this is because, every trip with us is going to sum to reforestation and investigation projects, and those are our principals matters.

Guides highlight the benefits of self-powered transport, and as you can see throughout the itinerary, this experience is fully focused on environmental care and carbon reduction, encouraging hiking, boating, and low-impact exploration. They also educate tourists on local species, emphasizing coexistence, habitat respect, and the challenges of extinction, fostering awareness and sensitivity toward wildlife preservation.
