Accommodation
Running the tour that will never be forgotten not only requires coming up with an epic route, but also thinking about the little things that make the experience memorable. The hotels we stay are as important as the route. They also tell the story we want to share with you about Colombia. Sometimes they are repurposed old haciendas from the Spanish colonization, sometimes they are cabins nested in a coffee plantation. Our goal is that you want to treasure every second of your tour.
