At Uncover Colombia, we are a team of travellers who love exploring different places and having enriching and authentic experiences. We all know that travelling is a great way to broaden our horizons and learn about different cultures. When we meet new people, we become more empathetic to them and their different ways of life.

However, travelling is important not only for us as travellers but also for those who rely upon holidaymakers to make a living. Therefore, as a Colombia Tour Operator, our goal is to create trips that allow guests to learn and immerse themselves in a place's culture while positively contributing to its growth. We believe in travelling with a purpose. 

travelling to help local communities

Supporting the small, local communities that rely on tourism to grow is an important aspect of travel and a huge boost to these communities. By helping these small communities, we also stop mass and over-tourism while focusing on people who need it.  

We work hand in hand with local communities to not only introduce Colombia to travellers but also to contribute and teach them about the importance of preserving the culture and environment for future generations. We take great pride in the work that we do to protect the natural and cultural heritage of Colombia while helping visitors get to the heart of the country. 

Colombia offers such rich and diverse wildlife in a wonderfully picturesque setting. From wildlife tours to city tours, museums and cultural immersions there is nothing that we cannot put together to create a dream trip. We wish to lead by example and our Colombian tours are committed to sustainability and education. 

We offer tours and experiences such as:

●   Horseback riding in Los Llanos - One of the most beautiful places in Colombia, the flora, fauna and landscapes are second to none. Exploring via horseback feeds into the slower pace of travel and is a great way to learn about ranch culture. 
●  Learn to fish in La Boquilla - Uncover Colombia has partnered with the town and inhabitants of La Boquilla to create a unique experience where visitors will be able to learn about the culture and history of its people. It is a true immersion in their way of life learning local fishing techniques through knowledge that has been passed down through generations. 
●  Explore coffee plantations- The village of Minca is renowned for its coffee and cacao plantations. Our day trip to the village includes a 7km ecological walk and a visit to the coffee plantations by a local indigenous inhabitant who will be able to share their work and knowledge of the coffee and cacao making process with travellers. 
●    Cook local food- One hour from Villa de Leyva lives the Gachantiva community. Here visitors will be able to meet the indigenous Gachantiva people and learn how to make almohabana while interacting with local families and learning about valuable traditions. 

Each tour and expedition that we put together is tailor-made for the visitor. We take into consideration every aspect of your trip as well as your preferences to create a tailor-made, custom itinerary unique to each traveller. 

We hope that this will inspire you to pick up your bags and visit Colombia and if you have any questions just get in touch with us and we’ll be happy to answer your questions.
