We actually had Bruce plan a 3 week tour of Colombia for us and it was wonderful! From Bogota to the Amazon to Zipaquira to Barichara to Medellin to Guatape to Pereira to Salento (Loved the hike in Cocura Valley up to the Acaime Reserve!) to Santa Marta to Cartagena. WOW!! What an experience thanks to Bruce and his outstanding guides! So glad we came. *Apparently TA doesn't like the word Spouse but that's who traveled with me. :-)

We wanted to spend two weeks in Colombia touring Bogota, Medellin, and Cartagena. After reviewing several sites, and offers from various companies, we selected Bruce McLean as our tour organizer. We made a wise choice. Bruce organized a series of tours, all of which were perfect in every detail. We were not the easiest people to deal with, because we wanted certain things on certain dates, etc. Bruce offered to arrange everything, but we wanted to make our own flight and hotel arrangements. Bruce asked to review our choices, and made some astute and wise recommendations to change some of the hotels. He was absolutely correct in every case. We strongly recommend tours organized by Bruce. He has access to the best guides (like Erika in Medellin, as mentioned by another reviewer).

When visited the Cocora Valley, I got surprised for the charges to visit the place, I have to add that rules whereas nearby extinguished animal like “Condor” and “Colobris” are at risk as many users take drones to have better pictures and films. Individuals that do not visit the park with guides often abuse the basic rules of respect and cleanness. Supposed Guides are accomplishing the rules, nor protecting animals, the payment of the entry fee is not an added value for the National reserves of Colombia. The main area off the Valle del Cocora is privately owned and from national interest, but it is a shame if you add that the Palma de Cera’s natural habitat is not there only but more in the forest of the cordillera of Colombia
8. Pijao and Cordoba with Coffee Tasting

I highly recommend Uncharted to anyone who wants to experience beautiful and colourful Colombia. It's impossible to find someone more professional, reliable, friendly, detailed and organized than Cami & team. With them you know you are in very good and capable hands. Our trip was flawlessly organized and customized to our specific needs. We were a group of 9 friends who trekked the Sierra Nevada del Cocuy, experienced the exotic Santa Marta and Tayrona National Park, discovered La Guajira and spent sunny and relaxing days in Cartagena de Indias. Thank you, Uncharted, for an unforgettable and perfect trip!
