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.
