Arvey the host is just amazing. Friendly, nice and funny. What makes this trip so unique is the 3 different modes of transportation you will probably never have experienced before! Including Brujita, Garrucha and Willy Jeep. Also, Arvey makes it so safe with a support van following you. Even though the bike ride is not technical, if at any moment you are tired you can easily get in the van! This was by far the most authentic, unique and adventurous trip we had in Colombia BY FAR!

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).

A breathtaking experience, quite literally! Our original plan to trek Nevado del Tolima was unfortunately disrupted by an overzealous Amazonian monkey and it's teeth. Eduardo was extremely kind and helpful and instead of being in amongst cloud forest on day one spent a not quite so interesting day in hospital with me! Plans and arrangements were calmly reconfigured and we set off for the hills only one day late! We then spent an excetional few days in the company of Eduardo and his knowledge of the environement; trekking through the cloud forest, staying in mountain Fincas amongst a few fellow travellers and welcoming locals, up into the incredible Paramo ecosystem and on to Paramillo del Quindio, before slowly winding our way back down through the Paramo and cloud forest once again. A truly truly wonderful experience! A very tough few days for our bodies as we simply had not prepared ourselves for the altitude prior to arriving (can recommend being at altitude for at least a few days before..!) Usually reasonably capable of taking on arduous adventures, I was reduced to several paces at a time at 4500m! Although I'm sure it is not quite what he had in mind when setting out to meet us at the start of our adventure, Eduardo was exceptionally understanding and looked after us from start to finish. We fell in love with Colombia and the trek with Montanas Colombianas is a huge part of that! We can't wait to return one day to reunite and tackle Nevado del Tolima! Thank you!

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!
