A perfectly curated and arranged holiday in Colombia

We travelled in a private tour. Each hotel and destination and tour and transfer were perfect

A wonderful experience of the Real Colombia

I spent 28 days in Colombia, visiting many places, friendly Colombians, I felt very safe, fantastic local guides, which I have made my friend's, it's not what people think about Colombia, it's a rich country, very diverse, each city has its own unique culture

Fantastic holiday in Colombia

We're just back from a two-week trip to Colombia, a country we'd never visited before. Sophie Barber from Journey Latin America put together a tailor-made package for us; we went to the Tatakoa Desert, San Agustin, Popayan, Bogota and Cartagena and enjoyed it all.

Journey Latin America are specialists in all kinds of holidays in Central and South America. We chose them for this reason to organise our honeymoon. We had to meetings with them prior to the offering the initial itinerary, and then they listened and adjusted the trip based on our feedback. Our trip was completely bespoke and they did a great job organising it. Every aspect of the trip worked seamlessly.

Perfect trip, fantastically organised

Columbia - a tour in Bogoata, Barichara, Tayrona, Cartegena. Great representatives on the ground, making transfers easy and providing lots of very helpful information. Excellent unique accommodation chosen - exactly what we wanted.

Rating for tour operator:

Fantastic personalised service and great value. Great communication, very responsive. We had travellers from 3 different origin points, so arrangements were complex but handled brilliantly. The accommodation selected for us was perfect, well priced and exactly what we wanted. Though we're experienced travellers, and rarely use an agency, we would definitely use this agency again for any trip to Latin America. Mary, in particular, is fabulous and made Colombia much more accessible for us.

The many faces of Colombia

We did a tour of various parts of this huge country, visiting Bogota, Medellin, Cartagena, Los Llanos and the mountainous area high up above Santa Marta/Minca (El Dorado). We experienced lovely Colombian people, so many wonderful birds and animals and glorious scenery. A great mix to give us a real taste of Colombia

Colombia, heart stopping country

Three weeks in Colombia and Costa Rica, wide ranging experiences from eco lodges to rustic farm on nature reserve. Tremendous road travel over the Andes and seamless air travel where needed. Wonderful people, beautiful scenery, gorgeous small towns and experienced and friendly guides. A holiday that perfectly matched the brief we originally discussed with the tour operator

JLA were really careful about sorting out whether their suggestions matched our needs. We had numerous discussions on the phone and by email before the final plan was finalised. The arrangements worked seamlessly. The trip was fascinating. Their pre departure information was tremendous and their app which included the itinerary, tickets, maps and weather forecasts was really helpful.

Varied, interesting and well run

A journey through Colombia allowing us to see different aspects of the country. We observed coffee and sugar production at a local level. Brilliant wildlife experiences:- Condor flying amongst wax palms; Birds, reptiles and fish on the Magdalena. Unspoilt archaeological sites.

Four weeks in Colombia

We travelled to Bogotà, Villa de Leyva, the Amazonas, Pereira and the coffee region, Medellín, Cartagena and Tayrona National Park. We had an amazing experience discovering the scenery, birdlife, fruits and indigenous cultures of Colombia. Our guides were very knowledgeable and happy to answer all sorts of questions about Colombian culture.

Very responsive and flexible to our slightly unusual requirements. Good information about destinations,
