Join small-group journeys into the less-seen world, personally discovered and intentionally curated, with a hand-picked circle of curious travelers.
Every country has a side most visitors never reach. It might be a desert camp in Africa, a mountain village in Asia, a river town deep in Latin America. In Colombia, where we begin, it is glaciers near the equator, rainforest that runs into the Pacific, red desert canyons, and granite hills you reach by small plane and then by river. We build small-group journeys to the corners most visitors miss, and we go where culture lives.
One country, a lot of different worlds. These are the places we are building the pilot journey from.
Adventure
Four days on foot through the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta to a city built about 1,200 years ago, older than Machu Picchu. We walk it with Kogui and Wiwa guides, who tell you what the stone steps mean before you climb them.
Nature
The world's highest coastal mountain range meets the Caribbean. Jungle, boulders and quiet coves, reached on foot.
Nature & Culture
Rainforest that runs straight into the Pacific, on one of the wettest coasts on earth. Reached by small plane or boat, and home to Afro-Colombian and Emberá communities.
Adventure
Glaciers at the edge of the tropics. Snow peaks, high páramo, thin air and a lot of silence, in the Sierra Nevada del Cocuy, a mountain range sacred to the U'wa people.
Nature
Three granite hills rising out of the jungle above the Inírida River, far in the east of Colombia. A plane, then the river.
Nature & Culture
River, forest and the people who live along it, in Colombia's far south.
Culture & Nature
Green mountains and working coffee farms, then a desert of red and gray canyons under one of the darkest skies in the country.
