Bogota Meet-up
Every journey begins with a step. But sometimes it begins with a pause. After the long flight, Bogota welcomes you with altitude and an air that you immediately feel is different. A vibrant city, between mountains, chosen not for tourist attractions, but to get you out of the “homeroutine”.
We will get to know each other, we will breathe, we will leave behind the rhythm of ordinary life. We will prepare — not with a program, but with presence, for what is to come.
Because the next morning we set off for the place that will be, for many, the heart of the entire journey.
Putumayo, Villagarzon
There are places that invite you to look at yourself differently. Putumayo is one of them.
We will take a domestic flight to Villagarzon, landing in the small airport surrounded by the jungle.
An ancestral land where four Ayahuasca lineages have lived and carried their traditions for generations, in harmony with the rhythm and abundance of nature.
Here, you remember to ask permission before entering a place so wild, so sacred and so alive. Putumayo invites you to meet their traditions through healing music, ícaros, ceremony, art, vision - a colourful culture, deeply connected to the spirit of the jungle.

Sinchi Shambu Camp
This is not a resort. It is home to Taita Jose of the Inga tribe. The plants he uses grow outside. The night sky is the ceiling of the ceremonies. The fire is not decorative.
We chose this place precisely because it is not prepared for tourists. It is prepared for people who want to experience something real.
The title of Taita or Curaca or Shaman is not something that is simply claimed — it is inherited, lived, and demonstrated through decades of devotion. In Putumayo, this ancestral lineage has been carried through nine generations. Not through diplomas or certificates, but through years of apprenticeship, healing and a deep relationship with the plants they cultivate, prepare and understand as part of their own lifestyle.
The body needs to be cleansed and open before it can receive what comes next. For many, these will be the most intense and important days of the journey. The place where something old begins to fall apart. And something new begins to take shape.

A night of intention
Entering the sacred space of traditional ceremony, that comes from the Inga culture, the descendants of the Inca civilization — guardians of a wisdom that has survived colonization, modernization and the many forces that have tried to make it disappear. Meeting the master plant

Rebirth starts when you no longer participate to the lie that kept you "safe" and when you stop negociating with what you no longer are.

Mocoa
After the intensity of the jungle comes movement. Water. Air. Space.
Located in the Andean-Amazonian region of Colombia, where the eastern mountains open into the vast Amazon rainforest, it is one of the places in Colombia that has not yet been discovered by mass tourism. And it feels.
We will visit a natural reserve of butterflies and other protected species of the Amazon and rest in a natural lodge with comfortable cabins, private balconies an jacuzzi. Exactly what the body needs after the ceremonies, space to breathe without leaving the inner process. Mornings with holistic practices, hiking, living nature, fresh air, green tranquility.
Waterfall daytrip
We will cross the rainforest to the Fin del Mundo Waterfall, a place that invites you to look beyond the usual limits of life and reminds us that, often, exactly where the road seems to end, a new stage of our journey begins.

Cartagena
After introspection and the jungle days comes city, history and celebration.
Cartagena appears like another universe. Color. Music. Ocean. Streets full of life. People who smile without haste and for no reason.
We will stay in the heart of the city, in a hotel overlooking the Caribbean Sea. We will wander through Getsemaní and the Old Town, letting ourselves be carried away by the rhythm of the place. We will discover hidden cafes, colorful markets, street musicians and sunsets that seem to stop time for a few moments. We will eat well. We will laugh. We will breathe the salty sea air. We will feel the joy of simple things again.
Because this journey is not just about descending into the depths. It's also about returning to people, to the joy of living, to everyday life.

Rosario Islands
Breathe. After the colorful hustle and bustle of Cartagena, we will spend a full day exploring the Rosario Islands, an archipelago of small islands spread out off the Caribbean coast. Turquoise waters, coral reefs, hidden beaches, snorkeling, sun, wind.
Sometimes the best spiritual practice is to put your feet in the water and stop thinking about anything.
boat tour, snorkelling, sun bathing
Cienaga Village
Stopover on "The World on Water". Cienaga Fisherman Village is built on water, in the delta. The houses are raised on stilts in the middle of a lagoon, boats take the place of cars, children grow up learning to row almost as naturally as they learn to walk and life flows naturally but at a different pace than the one we are used to.
We will cross the village by boat, discover the community, school and church raised above the water, connect with local music and dances and have lunch prepared by the locals.
It is an encounter with a different perspective on life. A community that has lived for generations in close connection with water, fishing and the rhythm of nature. We chose this stop because one of the greatest riches of travel is discovering that the world is much bigger than the reality you know. That there are countless ways to live a life. And each has its own beauty.
Kogui Tribe - the indigineous "guardians of the Air"
The morning will take us to a completely different experience. We will visit a Kogui community in the Sierra Nevada and have the opportunity to spend time with people who preserve one of the oldest spiritual traditions in Colombia.
The Kogui consider themselves guardians of the balance between man and nature and call the Sierra Nevada "The Heart of the World". They have lived there since before Columbia. Since before Spain. Since before everything. The Kogui hold recognized authority and protective roles under Colombia's native legal system and their voices were also heard in international settings on the rights of the Earth.
We will be welcomed into the community, we will hear stories about their way of life and we will meet the Mamo.
Together we will participate in a traditional offering ceremony — a simple and profound moment, through which we express our gratitude to nature, to life and to everything we have received on this journey.
Tayrona National Park
Between the Jungle and the Ocean, Tayrona is one of the most spectacular places in Colombia. Here, the Sierra Nevada mountains descend directly into the Caribbean Sea. The trekking path passes through the forest, among giant trees and tropical vegetation to wild beaches and hidden reefs.
Also the homeland of the indigenous tribes that are called "the protectors of the Earth". Just a day spent in a place that reminds you how beautiful nature can be when left to be exactly as it is.
Caribbean Sea
Last day. Los Naranjos Beach. Warm water of the Caribbean Sea. Palm trees. Horizon.
Nothing to do, nowhere to go. Just free time, to swim, to sleep in the sun, to write, to watch the waves. To each his own.
In the evening, we gather together for the last time. A circle that closes as it began, with presence, with intention, with people who have chosen to walk together for a while. Perhaps this is the most beautiful thing that travel does: it brings together people for a while who would otherwise never have met, and then lets them leave richer than they came.
