We had very few ideas of what we could or should visit in Colombia. Margoth, the local specialist, helped us work out a most satisfactory experience and even made it easy to visit a friend in her home outside Medellin. We had a great time, felt well taken care of always and enjoyed getting to know more about this beautiful and friendly country. We had a specific driver and guide for each area we visited and each was knowledgeable and helpful. The trip could not have gone more smoothly!

There was a lot of city road work going on while we were there, but Hotel Capellan served as an oasis from that, cool, comfortable, right in the heart of the city.
