We had such an amazing trip to Colombia. Everything was planned down to the minute, we had reliable transportation and guides and drivers the entire time. Everyone was on time for every single activity, and we had SO many things planned and the guides were so gracious about showing us around even during the holidays. Everything went so smoothly. We LOVED our guide Peter. He became a friend and made our time in Colombia completely unforgettable. 5 Stars for Kimkim and Chaska tours, thank you... read more
Dear Whitney and Joey,
thank you so much for your kind words! We are so happy to hear that you had a great time in Colombia and enjoyed all the activities. It is always a pleasure for us to hear when the guides are able to pass on the magic of the country to our guests. It was a joy for us that you spent the holidays in Colombia. As a result, the club at El Maco was also a bit noisy, Colombians love to party during this time. I hope you could celebrate a little bit with them! Thank you for... read more
