From the Colombian stories she shared while we hiked around the Cocora Valley to the amazing photographs she helped us take to the shops and restaurants she hand picked to teach us more about the Salento culture, Sole is a gifted tour guide. I honestly wish I could hire her to be my personal guide everywhere I travel. Beyond this, the three stops on this tour are beautiful and unique and I am so glad we booked this tour.”

I told my guide and she tried her best to adjust my tour a bit so I could get the most out of it, which was nice. however, I think in the booking it is misleading .”
