FROM STUDENT TO SKILLED ESTHETICIAN
Wendy
Wendy has been a part of our extended family since she was a young girl. After school, she would come to our porch, where we would help her with her studies, offering tutoring sessions that quickly turned into cherished evenings of learning, laughter, and friendship. Bright, determined, and full of ambition, Wendy always had big dreams for her future.
Now, she has turned that ambition into a thriving career as a skilled esthetician. Through hard work and dedication, she has built a name for herself in the beauty industry, specializing in skincare, facials, and wellness treatments. Seeing her grow into a confident, successful professional has been incredibly rewarding, and we couldn’t be prouder of how far she has come.
Her journey is a testament to what passion and perseverance can achieve, and we’re honoured to have played a small part in it.
What makes us different
We are a Canadian-owned, family-run tour company offering private, carefully curated adventures in the breathtaking foothills of Colombia’s Sierra Nevada. Unlike the typical backpacker tours that cater to the young and undiscerning, we provide a refined and seamless travel experience for those who value comfort, authenticity, and thoughtful planning. Whether you’re a family with children or teens looking for an unforgettable adventure, a couple seeking a unique getaway, or an active mature traveller ready to explore without the usual headaches, we’ve designed our tours with you in mind.
As Canadians, we understand the value of quality, reliability, and a touch of home even when travelling abroad. That’s why we’ve spent years fostering deep relationships with the best local businesses, experiences that aren’t found in guidebooks or on generic tour itineraries. Our partners—small, family-run operations—are at the heart of what we do, and we’re proud to support them in a way that is mutually beneficial, respectful, and rooted in genuine connection.
Our team consists of us, your bilingual guides, alongside our close friends and partners—Maria, Cristian, and their daughter Melisa—who bring their invaluable local expertise and warm hospitality to every experience. From a homestead stay in the mountains to exploring pristine waterfalls and hidden jungle trails, we take care of all the details so you don’t have to.
Let us show you a side of Colombia that most travellers never get to see—without the hassle, uncertainty, or compromise.

After breakfast one of our private drivers will deliver you and your bilingual volunteer guide to the launching point for our monkey viewing adventure. This twenty minute flat and leisurely stroll along the edge of a renowned nature reserve is a great spot to chance upon either Titi or howler monkeys, and often both. The beautiful stroll through dense but safe jungle surroundings ends at a beautiful little known beach of white sand and Carribean blue ocean. Continue to enjoy the tranquility for as long as you would like, or perhaps you are more interested in vibrant Colombian public beaches, with their music, fresh seafood and beautiful revelers? We can share that with you as easily a quick hop back in the private car. We can customize your day to include a picnic lunch at a completely secluded beach or a uniquely Colombian seafood experience at one of our favorite beachfront restaurants. We will have learned your preference before hand so you need do nothing but enjoy yourself. If we were not lucky enough to spot monkeys at the first destination, or you simply desire more monkey pictures and thrills, we are now happy to bring you to one of our secret Howler monkey viewing locations where we are nearly certain to witness these glorious animals in their natural habitat. Believe us that after a full day in the Colombian sun, even taking advantage of provided parasols, cooling swims and shaded seating areas, you will be more than happy to finish your day with a delicious dinner prepared just for you, simply relaxing as the private garden cools.

Discover it before everyone else does. This stunning waterfalls is a truly unique experience. Beginning with a stroll along a riverbed where you will be offered a variety of Colombian souvenirs as well as tasty treats (such as platino grilled with cheese and served on a banana leaf), or Colombian style coffee (usually served sweet but also available sugar free). Once we arrive at this geographical wonder feel free to enjoy a swim in a cool river water pool at the base of the waterfalls. The more adventurous types may also want to climb the beautiful rock formations alongside the stunning waterfalls to find more pools farther up. Though you will feel that you are in the middle of the wild Colombian wilderness, you will be happy to see lifeguards watching over you, as well as your ever faithful guides. After you have enjoyed a swim, and/or taken your fill of beautiful pictures we are ready for lunch. Enjoy a picnic prepared by your Canadian guides or try some wonderful Colombian fare at one of our tried and tested restaurant choices. If that is a full enough day we will happily return to the comfortable Guachaca house. If you are still in adventure mode… Let’s go tubing!! Our guides will accompany you, along with a team of professional river guides as we experience one of the safe and refreshing tubing tours available.

Allow us to offer suggestions such as a jungle stroll to a very nearby and extremely private waterfall, a trip into the local towns of Guachaca or Buritaca, or maybe it’s back to the beach? Its your trip and your choice but we are always available to join you and keep you feeling safe and comfortable in whatever way you choose to spend your day.

Pick our guides brains about your upcoming adventure and tuck in for a comfortable nights rest. As always all applicable meals are included.
Day 2
Sun, fun and monkeys. This one is such a favourite that it appears in almost all of our tour packages. Preserve your beach body with one of our lighter breakfast options, or load up for some swimming or surfing. As always the choices are yours. Afterwards one of our private drivers will deliver you and your bilingual volunteer guide to the launching point for our monkey viewing adventure. This twenty minute flat and leisurely stroll along the edge of a renowned nature reserve is a great spot to chance upon either Titi or howler monkeys, and often both. The beautiful stroll through dense but safe jungle surroundings ends at a beautiful little known beach of white sand and Caribbean blue ocean. Continue to enjoy the tranquility for as long as you would like, or perhaps you are more interested in vibrant Colombian public beaches, with their music, fresh seafood and beautiful revellers? We can share that with you as easily a quick hop back in the private car. We can customize your day to include a picnic lunch at a completely secluded beach or a uniquely Colombian seafood experience at one of our favourite beachfront restaurants.

On our return trip get ready for a Colombian experience that is so special and uniquely Costeno that you will remember it and delight your friends with descriptions for years to come. The Cabanas de Buritaca are loud and colorful, but also full of beautiful views and possible wildlife sightings. You will be glad to have your Canadian bilingual guides on hand as, though completely safe and very friendly, the local merchants know a freshly arrived gringo when they see one. Harmless but aggressive salesmanship is often the takeaway for newbies in many a Colombian tourist destination. Feel secure as your Canadian hosts politely decline what you aren’t interested in and secure a fair price in what you are. Or feel free to jump in and enjoy the boisterous experience!
Day 4

Its your trip and your choice but we are always available to join you and keep you feeling safe and comfortable in whatever way you choose to spend your day. You may well be content to just enjoy the beautiful garden and rooms available to you. We know that’s always a favourite after a few days of excitement.
Day 6

We will then take you to one of our favorite restaurants, with many different options available ranging from traditional Colombian to North american style comfort food, European influences and even some wonderful Indian cuisine. After lunch, once again, the choice is yours. Would you like to see a very western style shopping mall that can be a bit of a surprise after so many unapologeticly original Colombian experiences? Maybe one of the city beaches? Perhaps the a history buff would like to visit the home where South Americas most famous figure, Simon Bolivar, spent his final days?
Day 7
