Feb 15 - Feb 23, 2026
Michael from Chaska Tours set up the perfect itinerary for our family’s vacation. We had fascinating cultural experiences, delicious food, exciting adventures and peaceful relaxation. Knowing that everyday was meticulously planned, including all the drivers and the guides and even most of the meals allowed us to truly enjoy everyday and not have to worry about any logistics. Everyone of our guides (Froi, Sebastian, Joi, Nancy, Thomas, Carlos, Gloria, Mary) was knowledgeable, helpful and kind. Experiencing Colombia with Colombians by our side allowed us to learn so much more about this wonderful country and its people. By the end of our time with them, our guides felt like our friends. I would highly recommend kimkim and Chaska Tours in Columbia if you are interested in an active, immersive, and adventurous trip and don’t have or want to spend the time to organize every little detail.

Joi led us on a fun-filled, challenging and rewarding trek through the beautiful Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountains to a beautiful and fascinating ruin of an indigenous village. The lunch prepared by the family living on the mountain was delicious. The refreshing and cool swim in the river was rejuvenating and exhilarating.
The staff at Coralina Island was very accommodating and helpful. The water was spectacular. They have a boat and a kayak available to use for no additional cost. It was the perfect way to end an active and busy holiday.
It was a pleasure to spend time with our guide Thomas and immerse ourselves in the energy of Medellín.
My whole family loved trying the street food of Cartagena as well as all of the tropical fruits and juices that we are not familiar with in North America. Our guide Nancy’s love for her country, food, and culture was infectious and rubbed off on us.
Visiting Bazurto market was one of the highlights of my time in Colombia. I am pretty sure we were the only tourists there. I felt like I was experiencing the true Cartagena. The sight of all the colorful fruits and vegetables; the sounds of a community coming together, playing music and doing business; the smell of the food, the heat from the oil and coals, all added up to an unforgettable sensory treat. Our cooking instructor, Gloria, led us through the creation of a truly memorable and delectable meal.
Peaceful and beautiful tour led by a local. Very authentic and another opportunity to see the real Cartagena. A great tour for bird lovers and watchers. A demonstration of how the locals catfish and an opportunity to do it yourself.
Dear Neil,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed feedback. It truly means a lot to read how much your family enjoyed the journey. I’m especially happy to hear that the balance of the activities and destinations worked out so well for you — and that our guides felt like friends by the end. That’s exactly the kind of experience we hope to create: discovering Colombia in a meaningful, authentic way.
It was a pleasure organizing this trip for your family. If Colombia ever calls you back, we would be delighted to plan the next adventure.
Warm regards,
Michael & The Chaska Tours Team
