10 nights / 11 days
A journey through Colombia’s untamed savannas and lush Amazon rainforest, blending extraordinary wildlife with authentic cultural and indigenous traditions.
What Inspires this Journey?
Colombia is home to two of South America’s most iconic natural worlds: the vast Llanos Orientales and the mystical Amazon rainforest. This journey is inspired by the rhythm of the wild — galloping horses across endless plains, pink dolphins surfacing in mighty rivers, and vibrant birds filling the skies. It celebrates the deep connection between nature and culture, offering travelers the chance to experience not only incredible biodiversity but also the ancestral traditions of those who live in harmony with these lands.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Colombia unfolds in layers of wilderness and wonder. After a warm welcome in Bogotá, the adventure continues east to the Llanos Orientales, where life at a traditional ranch blends cowboy culture with nature at its most alive. Days are filled with safari rides to spot capybaras, deer, wild horses, anteaters, and howler monkeys, while evenings bring myths, music, and stories shared by locals under starlit skies. Participate in daily ranch traditions, from milking cows at dawn to learning the art of lasso-making and the crafts that preserve llanero heritage.
The journey then moves south into the Colombian Amazon, where the rainforest unfolds with unmatched biodiversity. Navigate the Amazon River, witness the spectacular parrot gathering at Santander Park, and canoe through hidden creeks like Matamata. Visit indigenous Ticuna and Mocagua communities to share their ancestral knowledge and artistry, and spend time in Puerto Nariño, a model of sustainable living in the jungle. From observing pink dolphins in the Tarapoto Lakes to trekking through lush rainforest trails, this is a profound immersion into Colombia’s wild heart — a journey where nature and culture are inseparably intertwined.
