TJulio and his team were amazing. Julio set up transport in Medellín, a city Tour, a flower tour in Santa Clara, a hiking trip in Parque Arvi, a visit to Communa 13. In Cartagena he set up our transport, a city tour. If you plan to go to Colombia I give Julio and his team my highest recommendation.

Detailed itinerary
Days 1-2: Medellín
Explore Medellín | Botero Plaza | Medellín Coffee Laboratory
Upon your arrival to Medellín, we will collect you at the airport and get started on our week-long adventure. Our first couple of days take place in…
…Medellín and its surrounding area. We’ll take you around the city and show you all of the most important attractions, like Botero Plaza and the Metropolitan Cathedral (it’s pretty similar to our Medellín City Tour). On day 2, we head to northern Medellín to the Coffee Laboratory and its plantation. Here, we will learn about the processes that are involved in growing, harvesting, and processing coffee beans.
Day 3: Jericó or Jardín
Coffee plantation | coffee tasting | explore a coffee town
Our next stop is to a quaint, coffee-centric town on the south side of Medellin. We’ll tour the town and…
…enjoy the tranquil atmosphere as we learn about its history and coffee origins. On the agenda is also a tour of a coffee plantation, where we will learn about the different processes of preparing coffee to be consumed and sample the fruits of Colombian labor. Our one night spent here will be at a glorious hotel right on a coffee farm.
Day 4-6: Cultural coffee region of Colombia
Visit Salento | coffee plantations | plant wax palm tree
Our adventure then leads us to Salento and the Cocora Valley, both of which are incredibly special places. The Andean town of Salento is best known for…
…its lush landscape with bright green, rolling hills that will bring you peace at first sight. The Cocora Valley is home to many waxy palm trees, one of Colombia’s national symbols, that house a variety of rare species of parrots. While in this wonderland, we’ll visit a variety of coffee plantations to show you how much of an art coffee-making truly is… and, of course, to drink lots of coffee. This exotic getaway will not only give you the coffee-filled experience of a lifetime, but will also allow you to sink into its pervading sense of tranquility.
Day 7: Head back to Medellín
We’ll wave our goodbyes to the Colombian countryside and head back to Medellín so that you can get onto your next adventure.

My family of 4 (including my parents and sister) did a Pablo Escobar tour with Ana Velez, followed by a city tour of Medellin. Ana is one of the best tour guides I have ever worked with…
I traveled to Medellin with my parents. I arranged all tours and services such as airport transfers with Colombia Travel Operator previous to my arrival and everything was amazing!…
We took a private tour with Juan Carlos. Everything was perfect! He has an excellent knowledge about Medellin and speak perfect English and Spanish. We took the metro, metro cable, we went to Botero Plaza and comuna 13. Thank you Juan Carlos and Colombia travel! Now I’m in love with Medellín.
Julio was incredibly knowledgable about Escobar and the history of violence in the city. The message of change and transformation given with the tour was really heartfelt and inspiring. Communal 13 is a must see for anyone travelling to Medellin.
