For our hiking and trekking activities in the Coffee Zone, Tayrona Park, San Rafael, and Minca, we work with local guides and tour operators who are knowledgeable about the area and the local culture. We strive to minimize our impact on the environment by adhering to established trails and minimizing waste. We also educate our clients on responsible hiking practices, such as packing out all trash and avoiding disturbing wildlife.

In Cocora you will appreciate the national tree of Colombia; The Wax Palm. Here you’ll learn about the importance of conservation, and see the sad reality of deforestation and how we can help change habits and practices from our pasts.

On this trip, we will be visiting locations of high importance in natural aspects such as the Rosario Islands which are surrounded by protected reefs, and Tayrona Park in The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta; the highest coastal mountain in the world. This Park offers extraordinary beaches, rivers, and dry forests. We care about the conservation of water and marine life so we create awareness in our guests so that our beaches and resorts remain clean and we can continue to offer unforgettable experiences.

We prioritize ethical wildlife viewing practices by only working with tour operators that adhere to animal welfare guidelines. We discourage our clients from taking part in activities that involve captive or trained animals.

We encourage our suppliers and guides to minimize plastic waste in all areas. We often even pick up trash left by other travelers on their tours, which we deposit only in places where sorting and recycling of waste are possible.
