“I spent my 50th birthday in Cartagena with my family and friends. This was my 1st Birthday Trip and wanted to commemorate this year with some professional photos. After doing my research, chose Marina. She made the process so comfortable and easy. I usually struggle with doing professional photoshoots as I tend to overthink poses, but Marina guided us through the entire process. The preview of shots that she showed us at the end has me extremely excited for the final product!”

Private Cartagena photo tour with Sergio through romantic plazas and landmarks, 45-60 min shoot, 3 digital photos for up to 5.
“I can’t thank Sergio enough for capturing one of the most important moments of our lives—my proposal. Every emotion, every glance, every surprise on her face was caught with such clarity and care. You didn’t just take photos—you told a story, and every time we look at them, we’re right back in that moment. Your eye for detail, timing, and the ability to stay discreet while still getting all the right angles was truly impressive. We’ll cherish these photos forever. Thank you for turning a life-changing moment into lasting memories. Highly recommend to anyone looking to capture real emotion with professional quality and heart.”

7-hour Cartagena to Barú day with mangroves, raccoon feeding and photos, snorkeling gear, Playa Blanca lunch, and hotel pickup for $85.
“Deze tour is zeker niet aan te raden. Onze gids sprak geen woord Engels. We hadden geen idee wat er van ons verwacht werd, wat er werd uitgelegd. Ze deed ook geen enkele moeite en was alleen maar chagrijnig. Ook het snorkelen stelde niks voor. Het heen rijden duurde in totaal 3 uur. Daarna met een bootje met veel te veel mensen naar een plekje verder op. hier waren meerdere boten met allemaal te veel mensen. Hier mochten we snorkelen. We kregen alleen een bril geen pijpje. Deze brillen werden net zoals het trappetje gedeeld met meerdere boten. Ook was daar bijna geen vis te zien. Ik denk dat we…”

Birdwatch in Colombia’s Sumapaz National Park from Bogotá. Small group, early start, expert guides, and lunch included.
“My colleagues and I are working on water resources and since the paramo is so important we took the opportunity to go up Sumpaz NP, near Bogotá. For my own interests, the birds were a nice bonus! OSwaldo did a great job explaining anything from Colombia's sociology, upcoming elections, ecology, the birds (he found the really special ones), and it goes on. On top of that, he was by far the safest driver we had for the week. It was cold, wet and miserable but we had a really nice time!”

Good to get out of Cali and see countryside.our tour guide Vivi was very informative/helpful on drive to and from the birdwatching venue. Spoke good English and explained Spanish versions of bird names which often sound better than their English version! No biting bugs when we went in January.
