What people say about us

The outbond

“Wow. Colombia is amazing. While we had some wild weather, this was one of the most enjoyable five days of our entire trip.  I’m not sure what you have in your head when you think of Colombia, but for me, it sure wasn’t this. I highly recommend a visit”.

“If you’re heading to Salento during your travels of Colombia and thinking about going to see the wax palms in Cocora Valley, I would highly recommend not stopping there”.
