Hello, I’m Andrea.
I’m proud to be part of the extraordinary team at ‘The Colombian Trip.’ My academic journey led me through 2 distinct fields—International Relations and Accounting. While they seem worlds apart, this unique combination has proven perfect for business development in travel.
At first, I struggled to see how my studies could fully stimulate me. But the world of tourism opened a path. Now, my mission is twofold: crafting unforgettable experiences for travelers like you and positively impacting the lives of Colombians.
Born and raised in Bogotá, our pulsating capital, my love for this land began early, sparked by Gabriel García Márquez's ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude.’ As an 8-year-old, the story utterly captivated me, rushing through meals to return to its pages. That book deeply connected me to the enchanting places, stories, and landscapes.
Here’s something only my friends know about me——my deep passions are books and football (soccer). Books take me on journeys through stories and history, while football fuels my wanderlust as I travel the world to support my beloved country team.
I look forward to helping you discover the Colombia I adore.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I specialize in nature-focused travel, eco-lodges, boutique hotels, glamping, birding, and cultural and luxury experiences across Colombia."
How did you get involved in travel?
"My passion for travel stems from a deep love for my home country. Growing up in Bogotá, surrounded by the magical Andes, I was nicknamed ‘Colombianita’—the little Colombian girl—because of my enthusiasm for the beauty and richness of this land.
Over the years, I’ve explored the far corners of Colombia, crossing off items from my personal bucket list and falling even more in love with our diverse landscapes and cultures.
My goal is to craft vibrant, immersive experiences that reveal the heart of Colombia. Imagine learning to cook traditional dishes with a local chef, exploring ancient villages guided by an archeologist, or walking the same paths as Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the Nobel Prize-winning author who captured Colombia’s essence in his words.
Let me share this magic with you, through the eyes of a local.
"
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"One of my favorite places in the world is Flores, Indonesia.
This small town instantly made me feel at home— everybody gets excited about having a conversation with you; everybody takes care of you and helps you with every detail. The kindness and love in the air were palpable, creating a genuine connection that stays with me.
And the landscapes? Absolutely breathtaking. The vivid views and magical scenery still feel like something out of a dream."

What an unforgettable trip Colombia was! I don’t normally get help when planning travel, but I’m so glad I did. From the moment we arrived, our tour guide, Lee, took incredible care of us. We learned so much from her about each place we went, but it didn’t *feel* like learning, it felt like a fun conversation! She was full of surprises, ducking into a store and emerging with local chocolates for us to try, bringing my husband and I a local cocktail, etc. You could tell it was a joy for her to...

She was full of surprises, ducking into a store and emerging with local chocolates for us to try, bringing my husband and I a local cocktail, etc. You could tell it was a joy for her to share her country with us. The biggest endorsement- three teenagers loved the trip and had a ton of fun!
My kids loved riding ATVs and playing soccer with the locals, my husband and I loved visiting the coffee farm and having lunch in the kitchen of an amazing mountainside organic farmer/chef. Medellín blew us away. It felt so safe and was quite beautiful. Cartagena was a vibrant (and hot!)
There is no way I could’ve found the hidden gems that Kim Kim took us to without their help. Thank you for memories that will last us a lifetime!

From the very beginning, our specialist Andrea developed an exciting itinerary that fulfilled our travel wishes; when I asked if she could lower the overall cost, she was able to make adjustments without sacrificing too much of the fun and comfort.
All of our local guides in each city (Andrea in Bogotá, Juan and Ivan in Pereira, and Aura in Cartagena) were all spectacular! It was so special to have guides who were both passionate about their regions and excited to share it with others through tourism. We learned so much from our conversations with each guide (all of whom spoke exceptional English)!
Some other general comments include that most of the trip was already paid for once we arrived in Colombia, that we really didn't have to worry about having cash on us - from activities to transportation! Additionally, our specialist Andrea was extremely responsive through WhatsApp and answered any questions we had very promptly and thoroughly.
Colombia is a beautiful country, the people that we encountered were so warm and friendly, and the food is just delicious! 12/10.
Hotel Review
Casa San Carlos Lodge
Pereira
Casa San Carlos is absolutely stunning and we are so happy we were able to stay here during our visit; we even had a free day that we were able to spend by the pool. I did, however, want to share some feedback surrounding the food and hospitality: things were a bit disorganized. Staff seemed eager to please but, as culminating example, when we were checking out and settling the bills for meals (which we had charged to the room each evening) all but one or two items were incorrect. The front desk worked with us to go through and correctly itemize, but it felt very messy and I ultimately feel like we payed less than we ought to (could have easily been the opposite problem, as well).

We even had a hiccup with food poisoning (be very careful with the tap water!) but our local guides and Andrea worked together to make sure we could recover some activities we had to miss. Shout out to Jesus, Juan David, and Yube - we couldn't have asked for better guides in Minca. Having local guides who could share their personal experiences was one of the best parts of the trip. Hotel wise - Casa San Agustin in Cartagena is beautiful, centrally located, and has some of the best service of any hotel I've stayed at. I am already missing Colombia and all of the friendly people we met there. I will definitely be back!
