Treasures of Colombia (9 Days)
See and experience a wonderful cross-section of this emerging destination. You will start in Bogota, with its bustling, creative energy, then travel to San Agustín Archeological Park, a UNESCO world-heritage archeological site, considered as one of the top two such sites in Colombia. UNESCO says the San Agustín Archeological Park boasts “the largest group of religious monuments and megalithic sculptures in South America (and) stands in a wild, spectacular landscape. Gods and mythical animals are skillfully represented in styles ranging from abstract to realist. These works of art display the creativity and imagination of a northern Andean culture that flourished from the 1st to the 8th century.” San Agustín should be on anyone’s radar who dreams of Easter Island, Machu Picchu, and the like. We continue on to the beautiful, colonial, living spiritual pilgrimage town of Popayan; the scenic, authentic heart of coffee country in Armenia; and end this amazing tour in Cartagena, the crown jewel of colonial cities in Latin America.

Los Nevados Trekking (8 Days)
Enjoy an awesome mix of city, mountains, and rural coffee country on this custom, private trekking tour.
The trek has a number of days at over 12,467 feet (3,800 meters) above sea level and we consider it physically challenging (like the Inca Trail). Walking can be adapted, however, to suit a traveler’s needs and pace. Four days of this trek is supported by horses and your baggage, food, and equipment will be carried by mules for the entire duration of the trek. Trekkers need only to carry their day-packs during the trek. Camping gear and meals during the trek and in remote locations will be provided by the logistics manager, chef, and trek leader. Meals in the cities will be on your own.
