Felipe helped us plan and replan our trip again and again with the utmost professionalism, patience and great responsiveness and in the end it was the perfect trip. Having a local person who knew the best places to see and experiences to have and then set us up with the best guides and drivers you could imagine. Then Felipe and his team including Fabian and Margot stayed in touch with us throughout our entire trip. Making schedule changes when we needed or wanted, it feels like they are part of our family. Our guide Hugo was the best ever, simply cannot say enough good things about him, he took such great care of us and made sure our time was the most enjoyable and safe it could be. Our driver Hader seems to know everyone everywhere we went. In the village of Minka it was like being with the President. Being our first trip to Colombia and not speaking Spanish we were a bit nervous but Felipe and Hugo and Hader made us look and feel like locals and right at home. It was worth every penny and peso and we cannot recommend Aracanto Colombia enough.
Activity Reviews
We loved our snorkeling trip with Gio and his team. Highly recommend them. Perfect spot where we saw amazing coral and sea life, and loved the boat ride!
No trip to Colombia is complete without visiting Tayronas National Park. One of the most stunningly beautiful places we have ever been. The wildlife was incredible also. You can walk the path or ride horseback.
While visiting Santa Marta you must go visit the village of Minka and also the Marinka waterfalls. Minka was a super cool authentic village where we had an incredible coffee before going to the waterfalls and an unforgettable lunch after. The falls were something you see in a vacation commercial or movie, just incredible.
This might have been our best decision of all, Aracanto arranged a private diving trip to Rosario islands and it was incredible. Instead of being with a big group on a packed boat, we had the boat and dive master and crew all to ourselves and it not only made the most of our time but made it the best experience we have had diving yet.
Cartagena was story book, we stayed in the walled city and it was breathtaking. The Spanish Colonial architecture everywhere, great restaurants and more, you could photograph every door and courtyard and building in this beautiful historic city.
No trip to Colombia is complete without a visit to Santa Marta, a lovely seaside vacation town within driving distance of Tayrona National Park, Minka and more. Great dining and beaches and snorkeling and diving.
