Our adventure in Colombia was wonderful. Andrea listened to our needs and requests, the partnered with us to deliver a great trip. We enjoyed the people, the sites, the food, and the sense of adventure. For our first time in Columbia we found the experience to be seamless. We were able to hit some of the major sites and get a sense of Colombia- from the transformation of Medellín to roasting coffee in Salento to the Caribbean coast. We hope to go back and explore more some day!

First and foremost Juliana was an amazing host. She was one of the best guides we have had. Her knowledge ability to handle any situation and her general vibe was appreciated. We hiked, biked, rode a Tuk Tuk, and explored by boat.

Carlos was a good host. It was interesting to learn not only his (and his family) history but also take part in the coffee process. I walked away with a deeper understanding of how to engage with coffee in the future.

First the hike itself was beautiful and I enjoyed the activity and reaching the hummingbird house. I would highly recommend this as an activity. The reason it is a low rating was due to the guide. It became very clear early on that our guide was not just leading us but working a second job during his time with us. He told us how he is opening up his own company and kept stopping to film for this new venture. This caused us to take significantly longer and was frustrating at times. Overall we love this as an activity but encourage the use of a different guide in the future.

Food
The restaurant we ate at was not great. We felt the trout was undercooked

As mentioned our guide was working a second job and focused on this work which left us with a sour impression.

Beautiful resort. If you are up for quiet and relaxing this is it. Our room was one of the coolest rooms I have stayed in.
