Colombia history tour for over 50s

Planet

CARBON REDUCTION:
The journey into the captivating Tatacoa Desert involves a 2-hour hike through a breathtaking landscape. The exclusive mode of exploring the desert is on foot, ensuring zero carbon emissions. Travelers are restricted to authorized paths, thereby preserving the rock and sand formations that have naturally formed over hundreds of years.

Dolphin sighting is conducted in canoes without engines. The canoes are propelled by hand using paddles. This activity is entirely environmentally friendly, contributing to zero carbon emissions.

On this trip we actively seek lodgings that prioritize ecological consciousness and implement sustainable methodologies, like solar energy panels utilization in Hotel Quinto Nivel and Akawanka Lodge also, rainwater collection in Akawanka Lodge.

ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE:
We take care to ensure that our tours do not disrupt the natural desert ecosystem. Additionally, we emphasize to our travelers the importance of leaving no waste behind and of respecting the area's flora and fauna.

Our guides are experts in the region's flora and fauna, dedicated to ensuring our tours have a minimal environmental impact. They undergo training in responsible travel practices, including how to avoid disturbing fragile ecosystems, minimize waste, and respect local cultures and customs.

Throughout our tours, we encourage our clients to respect the dolphins' space and refrain from touching or feeding them. This practice supports the preservation of the dolphins' natural behavior and prevents them from developing a dependency on humans for food.
