Testimonials
I have traveled with Christian and Activexpedition a few times in the last few years and have never regretted it. They always plan an active, fun, safe, amazing trip! Their attention to support local businesses/people and in being an eco friendly company is evident in everything that is planned and carried out. Colombia is a beautiful place with beautiful, friendly people and I am so happy I had this experience with Activexpedition! I wholeheartedly recommend traveling with them for any adventure they offer and if you're looking to travel to Colombia.

Traveling to Colombia was not on my radar and I am so glad I went. The country is beautiful and the people are very friendly. I don't speak any Spanish, very glad to have such a wonderful guide, Christian Valencia who did all the translation. He clearly has been in the business for a long time and set up a great trip for us.

Trip Guest
Amazing trip!! I cannot say enough about the trip, guides and overall experience. There is a large diversity in terrain, activities, and food in a relatively small geographic area. This trip provides the perfect combination of organization, safety, and activities, but with ample flexibility, spontaneity and time to explore on your own. The guides go out of their way to help provide the type of experience and activities that you prefer. I was a solo traveler and had a great time. Would be equally good for couples or friends traveling as a group.
