        Highly eventful and relaxing trip to San Cipriano
        I can highly recommend the one day tour to San Cipriano. To begin with the trip from Cali to San Cipriano is fantastic because you drive over the mountains in beautiful scenery, through and through dry areas, until you end up in the wet and beautiful rainforest of the Pacific Region. An experience on its own! In San Cipriano you are taken through a fantastic tour through the jungle, where you get to travel on a very special train, (that the locals have enginously made them selves👍) to explore charming pools in the rainforest and to ride down the beautiful San Cipriano river on a tube, which is a thrilling experience in some sections of the river and an almost meditative experience in the quiet sections. All in all San Cipriano was a very eventful experience and at the same time also with a very relaxing and positive atmosphere. The tour-guide Ricardo was fantastic as he had a lot og knowledge about the places and spoke good English.

        Great time!!
        This tour was unbelievable, our group was small but we all had a great time. The lunch and breakfast was great. Our tour guide spoke English which made things easier, he did a great job. Bring a change of clothes and a long sleeve shirt, it gets cool that early in the morning in the higher elevation. Highly recommend

        Whale watching colombian pacific
        We were very lucky to see multiple whales jumping, which doesnt always happen because sometimes whales just show their humps or fins. Our guide Julian from Cali, and our local guide Alex were top notch, very nice guys.

        Best price value for this tour
        Excellent experience, best cost-benefit available. I really ask other tourist do not fall on the trap of other companies that charge you an unbelievable amount of of money (over 600.000cop). The guide Cesar was very knowledgeable and I had the chance to compare with other offers, and this is by far the best.

        Wonderful!!!
        AMAZING!!!! What a fun day! The day was perfect starting from a front doorstep pick up (from a house not a hotel). The paragliding was top notch and we had wonderful photos from the jump. The museum was interesting and our guide Cesar waited patiently for us as we had pictures taken. Lunch was in an absolutely gorgeous location with delicious food. The final stop with wine tasting was fantastic and such a nice ending to the tour. We loved the tour. It was wonderful.

        No English spoken by tour operator
        it would help if your tour operators knew how to speak English. Unfortunately, we did not go because no one spoke English. We couldn’t even hard to arrange transportation.

        3 Fantastic days in the Jungle of Colombia
        We had the best trip ever with Caesar our tour guide. We were picked up at our hotel in Cali by Caesar with his luxuous SUV and brought to Buona Ventaura where we took the Ferry to Malaga Bay. We stayed in a very nice hotel nearby the harbor, where we had every day the best breakfast & dinners you can imagine. During the 3 days we had boat trips through huge Mangroves, where we were swimming in the natural pools and small waterfalls, we have been visiting and swimming under 3 huge waterfalls, visiting huge beaches and caves, also at night. We have been eating with the local tribes and sailing next to huge wales at the ocean. Everything was very well organized by Caesar and very safe. This is a fantastic experience for all nature lovers and still sleeping at night in a very nice hotel with airco, in the middle of the jungle

        So worth it - trust me !
        This was an excellent tour that’s so worth seeing ! It’s a once and a life time experience to see a rainforest with so much beauty and greenery. The tour started off with a car ride where you are able to see the city, then a beautiful breakfast looking out into a picture-Esq mountains! Then you drive to the river and begin the hike. It’s a hike that you feel the work out but it’s not TOO hard. The view is so worth it when you arrive at La Sirena (the mermaid). If you are down, you can jump off a rock and it’s so thrilling or just go for a swim and relax while you experience the worlds beauty. Then the tour doesn’t end and you go to another river that’s beautiful ! I can keep going but 1000% worth it! Please book this and bring your friends :)

        Excelent Nature experience
        Cesar and Sarita were amazing guides and provided a nice experience to hike to Oasis de la Sirena in Danubio River. Even the Nature gave us some rains the previous days and the river was not as clear as it is used to be, the landscape is beautiful, the experience of crossing Rivers, swimming and jumping to the natural pool is worth every cent. Cesar also was very helpful coordinating transportation all the time, recomending places to stay and other experiences that we did with other tour operators. If you have any doubt about your stay in Cali please ask Cesar and his team will give you the best experience possible. Regards

        Amazing experience!!
        I went on hike with Viajes Che. My tour guide was Cesar and I had a great time, definitely worth the view when you get to the top. Cesar was a great tour guide, he taught me some of Colombia’s history and how Indigenous people hunted and lived on the mountains. If you ever travel to Cali I highly recommend to give Viajes Che a call. They also have an amazing coffee experience tour and tour to Valle de cocora. I was able to experience all of them. I had a great time thanks to Cesar and Viajes Che definitely will be back to try other tours!

        Amazing visit to Puracé volcano!
        Booked a day trip from Cali to visit Puracé volcano with Viajes CHE. The experience was amazing (watch out for altitude sickness!) and we were incredibly happy with our guide César. He was kind, patient and very helpful before, during and after the trip. He speaks excellent English and helped us arrange our visit, was flexible when our circumstances changed, and we kept in touch after our daytrip. Would recommend Viajes Che to everyone – they are good, honest people who offer great tours and experiences in a way which respects the environment and local culture. Would book again and highly recommend you get in touch with them!

      We had such a great time. The hike is quite challenging but it is definitely worth it.
      Even though it was cloudy on top of pico Loro, the view was still breathtaking. It's a perfect way to get out of the bustling city and flee from the mass tourism. They only recently started to offer these tours to tourists so it is very untouched. On our around 4 1/2h hike we only saw two small groups of locals.
      We received an amazing service and the Breakfast + Lunch was very good too.

      Highly recommend doing this hike! Thanks again!

      Viajes CHE topped our expectations. The service was great before, during and after the hike.
      The hike to Pico de Loro was challenging but completely worth it. The view from the top is breath taking: the clouds, the trees and the Farallones mountains are a sight to see.
      Would definitely recommend Viajes CHE

      After contacting them, defining the price and the person who would pick me up at the hotel, everything started to go wrong when I arrived at the town where my ascent would begin. The person I contacted never told the driver where he should drop me off to meet the guide. When trying to communicate, it was lucky to find an Internet connection point since it is difficult to have access in this town. After ascending and for reasons that I do not know, at the top there is a signal to access the Internet, the guide called the driver with more information. An hour in advance, this was sent to another driver who did not even pick me up at the point where they left me, the guide had to drop me off at an intersection 30 minutes from town.

      Already at the intersection we had to continue waiting for the other driver for half an hour, this driver did not want to drop me off at my hotel, I unanimously decided to carry out orders on his own and when I finished them I did not know which route to drive (at no time did he use WAZE) since he He didn't feel like using that application, I did and when I saw that it deviated from the route I had to get out of the taxi, I am a retired army officer and I have a safety net available for these eventualities but people who cannot access it This type of safeguard is a lottery that nothing has happened to another user of this travel agency.

      I urge people to be very careful with this agency, seek advice from others, look for options because this security issue is a kind of security lottery, please be very careful.

      :O Andr, ya mismo me pongo en contacto con la coordinadora de logística, para conocer más sobre esta situación, porque yo soy el gerente y nunca me reportaron nada negativo de este viaje, como tú dices. Hemos hecho este viaje más de 200 veces y es primera vez que alguien nos dice eso, sin embargo, voy a revisar, porque en caso de que eso haya pasado, debemos garantizar que nunca vuelva a suceder, para nosotros la seguridad de nuestros viajeros es lo más importante. Voy a solicitar tu número y te escribo personalmente por whatsapp. Gracias por ayudarnos a detectar estos posibles fallos, porque nunca nos habían reportado nada similar. Saludos cordiales.
