CARBON REDUCTION

This itinerary focus on walking, hiking, and biking activities, including ascending Monserrate in Bogotá, exploring the magical Salt Cathedral, and hiking through Barichara, accompanied by expert local guides.

This trip includes two domestic flights. The reason why we include domestic flights instead of bus or another type of transportation as a firts option is because the distances in Colombia are extensive and these journeys in specific are very long (12 hours or more by land, if we add these two trips by land would be a whole day only traveling, even more time adding some stops for comfort, food, observing the landscape, etc.), and would not be as comfortable as the rest of the trip, where for example the other transfers are 3-4 hours long. Despite this, we can offer transfer by land, but it is completely up to the client.

All trips are fully customizable, with vegetarian and vegan options always available. Local restaurants are carefully selected, ensuring that all ingredients are sourced directly from nearby farms, providing an authentic experience rooted in the traditions of local communities.
