Testimonials

I woke up and I was full of energy. I slept well. I honestly thought today was going to be worse than it was. But I started going and it was fine. I was so happy to meet the lovely family and students at Finca Argentina that it filled me with good energy. I had such a lovely evening there. Today there was such a beautiful landscape, it made it worth it. Also, I knew how far we had to walk, and how long it was going to take us, and that was really important for me, psychologically. We saw a lot of changes, and humming birds, which was lovely, but I was very tired at some points and my legs were not responding . But it was great in another sense as I was very happy to get to the hotel, knowing I’d seen wonderful things and that I’d done the trek! The landscape was great and finding people who live in these remote places, and live so happily in these lovely areas, that was the most beautiful part for me. And for that alone, it was worth it.

» Colombia’s Coffee Region & Coast Tour

Cartegena is a city full of colour, I spent hours just wandering the streets of the Getsemani district with its beautiful colonial facades. The proximity to the Carribean makes it a real gem of a gateway to the surrounding beaches and from here you can travel along the coast line to visit the impressive Tayrona National Park with its gorgeous hilly backdrops leading to white beaches – throw in some ancient ruins of the indigenous population and you have a perfect mix. The green hills of the coffee region are full of opportunities for active travellers, but also a great option for those fancying a few days to relax. Many coffee fincas have opened their doors to visitors and guests, and I loved learning all about the coffee production and seeing the endless rows of coffee beans. I loved Colombia for its rich culture, and its wonderfully warm people. It’s such an intriguing country, and so welcoming. I’m always drawn to the hills, so I loved exploring the Andes region but also enjoyed the vibrant city life of Bogota.
