Our Company
We are a tourism consultancy company that offers advice and travel planning to Asia, Africa and Colombia; all of them to which we have personally traveled. Each trip is designed to suit your tastes and aspirations. Using our services, you can organize your ideal trip from home. Based on dates, routes and destinations chosen by you, we’ll put in motion our resources to take care of the logistics necessary to make your dream trip a reality.
When they say Colombian people are warm and joyfull, they are not lying. As soon as you land in the country, you can count on every hand to help you out, to give you directions and, why not, to make a toast with you.
The hospitalarian carisma of every colombian is reflected on the “parrandas” and traditional festivities all year long, because in Colombia all motives, wether good or not, are a reason to celebrate.
Before you can say “hola”, you’ll learn to say “fiesta”. On the other hand, Bogotá and Medellín, cultural capitals of the country, welcome businessmen and women as well as a bramming night life.
The security conditions have improved considerably in the last 5 years and the current government signed a historical peace treaty with the oldest guerrilla in the world, which ended with the worlds oldest armed conflict. Colombians are working hard to build a country that opens its door to tourism and foreign investment.
So, do we need to say more? Come to Colombia, you are in for a southamerican hidden treat.
