Merveilleux voyage organisé par l'agence Remote Expeditions
Tristan est un guide exceptionnel, initialement un grand spécialiste de la Colombie, et son expertise s'est étendue à toute l'Amérique du Sud. Photographe talentueux et trekkeur expérimenté, ses voyages sont captivants.
Nous avons fait un voyage fantastique en Colombie pour nous quatre. Grand professionnalisme et gentillesse.
Je le recommande vivement.
Une Aventure Multifacette avec Tristan
Ma femme et moi avons eu la chance d'avoir Tristan comme guide lors de notre récent voyage en Colombie. Tristan apporte beaucoup de ses compétences en tant que photographe, organisateur, expert en logistique, et plus encore pour enrichir l'expérience des participants.
He relates to the locals in a warm, welcoming, and personal manner. He is multilingual and effortlessly switches between English, Spanish, French, and some of the indigenous languages. When locals meet him, the affection they feel for him is palpable. He can and does literally work magic with children.
C'est un plaisir de voir leurs expressions lorsqu'il extrait magiquement une pièce de leur oreille. Cela donne des photos merveilleuses. Il est constamment à la recherche d'occasions de photos. Il les crée spontanément et nous sommes repartis avec de superbes photos tant de fois.
En tant que le plus âgé du voyage, Tristan était toujours prêt à m'aider avec une valise anormalement lourde. Qu'il s'agisse d'un problème technique avec l'appareil photo ou de la meilleure façon de composer une prise de vue, Tristan était là avec de bons conseils. Il a également fourni des sessions de retouche photo très utiles.
I would highly recommend him as a leader, no matter the destination.
Un Voyage de Compassion avec Tristan
As the wife of a photographer, I’ve gone a half dozen photo tours. I try to make them my own and usually am successful in doing so. If I had to pinpoint anything that made the trip successful, it would be Tristan’s humanity shown so many times in the way he treated participants and native
Colombians. Visiting native tribes (not painted-face imposters) was a treat for me and my iPhone camera. Tristan planned well, explained things in detail and also found local experts who taught a great deal.
Découvrir la magie de la Colombie avec Tristan
J'ai revu lentement toutes mes photos du circuit Viva Colombia. Cela me fait revivre toutes les expériences incroyables que Tristan a organisées pour nous ! Son amour et son enthousiasme pour la Colombie et son peuple étaient évidents. Il avait une bonne relation avec tous ses chauffeurs et guides, et il rayonne lorsqu'il est avec des enfants avec ses tours de magie. Ses compétences relationnelles étaient excellentes.
Tristan était réactif et s'est démené pour que tout le monde soit heureux. Il a pris les commentaires à cœur. Je voulais souligner à quel point il était diligent. Je n'ai jamais participé à un circuit où le guide avait préparé une présentation aussi approfondie avec des diapositives et des exemples de certains des concepts créatifs qu'il essayait d'enseigner.
Je suis tellement heureuse d'avoir réussi à tout organiser à la dernière minute pour participer à ce circuit. Ça en valait TELLEMENT la peine ! Il y a quelques circuits Luminous Journey qui m'intéressent, donc je ne vous ai pas encore quittés.
Dévoiler la beauté à travers l'objectif avec Tristan
The Luminous Journeys “VIVA Colombia” trip was fantastic for photographic opportunities in a country that is still largely unexplored by travel photographers. Tristan was an enthusiastic leader offering insights into his creative approach to photographing Colombia, including its indigenous peoples. His patient and sensitive approach dealing with locals allowed participants learn and appreciate Colombia’s many diverse customs. There was a good balance between street & culture photography, nature/tropical birds, and landscapes.
En outre, la volonté de Tristan d'aider les participants sur les aspects techniques et artistiques de la photographie a été très appréciée. De plus, il est tout simplement très amusant ! Le voyage était bien organisé et les hôtels et la nourriture étaient superbes. Dans l'ensemble, Viva Colombia ! a offert diverses opportunités photographiques qui pourraient intéresser les amateurs de photographie à la recherche d'une aventure sans entrave dans un pays fascinant d'Amérique du Sud.
Un Rêve de Photographe avec Tristan
From the very first communication Tristan was responsive and helpful, receptive to tailor making a travel and photographic experience that was exactly what I was looking for. As a passionate photographer himself, I knew I was speaking with a like-minded soul who understands the specific needs and wants of a fellow photographer.
The tour itself was brilliant. As well as being a capable and professional tour organizer, Tristan is great company and an interesting travel companion.
The special relationship he has built up over the years with the Kogui people and local guides enabled a very special opportunity to visit and photograph them, both culturally and photographically interesting, and a rare, much appreciated opportunity.
Combine this with Tristan’s ability to speak several languages fluently including the local one, and you’re onto a winner!
Quel voyage merveilleux !
Quel merveilleux voyage. Tristan est une personne si charmante et bien organisée.
Nous avons fait un merveilleux voyage autour de la Sierra Nevada en Colombie, jusqu'à Camarones et même Mompox. Nous avons visité tant d'endroits et rencontré tant de gens et de communautés formidables.
C'était FANTASTIQUE.
Je recommande vivement Remote Expeditions et Tristan pour tout voyage que vous envisagez de planifier
Fantastique voyage hors des sentiers battus
Tristan est un guide et photographe très compétent, et il est également très sympathique. Voyager avec lui a été une expérience très agréable et nous avons aussi beaucoup ri !
Le voyage a été parfaitement organisé et Tristan a très bien compris nos besoins, en personnalisant l'itinéraire pour garantir la meilleure expérience possible. Grâce à lui, nous avons découvert la Colombie hors des sentiers battus.
Enfin et surtout, j'ai effectué un certain nombre de voyages photo et Tristan est probablement l'enseignant le plus dévoué avec qui j'ai voyagé. Il est vraiment passionné par la transmission de ses connaissances et de sa passion pour la photographie.
Je vais certainement réserver un autre voyage avec Remote Expeditions dans un avenir proche.
Belle découverte du sud de la Colombie
Découverte merveilleuse du sud de la Colombie. Organisation excellente, et Tristan est un guide exceptionnel qui partage son amour pour le pays.
A genuine encounter, off the beaten track
Tristan is an exceptional guide who combines unquestionable expertise in organizing tailor-made expeditions, a great talent for photographing wildlife and sharing his passion, rare human qualities... and contagious joy! He opened up unexplored paths for us to meet the indigenous peoples of the Sierra Nevada, as part of our diplomatic reconnaissance trip to initiate a cultural exchange between these peoples and Reunion Island. Our expedition had specific goals and constraints, which Tristan managed perfectly. He is therefore a must for anyone who wants a genuine encounter with South American nature and peoples, off the beaten track.
Voyage extra-ordinaire
Tristan brilliantly rose to the challenge of organizing our immersive trip among the indigenous peoples of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. For four weeks, we were able to count on him and on his flexible and flawless organization. His detailed knowledge and understanding of the places we visited and the people we met enriched our daily discoveries. He was always attentive, considerate, cheerful, and generous. More than a guide, it felt like traveling with a friend.
A magical tour of undiscovered Colombia
I cannot believe how fortunate I am, to have discovered Remote Expeditions, with Tristan as a tour guide, and photographer extraordinaire, sharing his view of Colombia with us, through the lens.
Tristan is an incredible guide. Safe, organized, thoughtful and experienced. He truly chose the best that this mostly remote tour of Colombia has to offer. He has built strong relationships with people in remote villages and has sourced ways to shine a light on their cultural specialities. Dancing, singing, food all combined to allow for great photo opportunities.
In the land of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, you can feel the energy, experience the culture and bring home amazing photographs that capture the moments.
If Colombia is on your photographic bucket list, Tristan is your guide. I recommend him and his beautifully curated tour, without hesitation.
The Magical Mystery Tour!
In March 2026, I ventured out of my comfort zone and booked an 11 day photography tour with Tristan, through Remote Expeditions.
It was amazing. Truly remote, we visited several indigenous communities in the Sierra Nevada, first to meet them and find out a little about their way of life and second lay to photograph them. Additionally there were several opportunities for photographing birds, landscape and City Scenes in Cartagena.
We were fortunate enough to to be a small group, of two , which I was more that happy to pay a premium for. This gave us an intimate experience with the people we met along the way, additionally the 1:1 attention to our personal interests in photography was incredible.
Tristan was a real treat! He has spent the last 10 years living in and exploring this region of Colombia. He has cultivated relationships with the indigenous peoples of the area, and loves to share his understanding of their culture with you.
He structured the tour perfectly. He was organized, knowledgeable (about the land, its people and photography), compassionate, passionate and eager to share his vast internal encyclopedic information with you. When he didn’t know, he would quickly get you the information.
The remote places you get to, by 4x4, hiking and boating are exceptional. You could never find these places on your own.
Knowing little about Colombia, I was initially a little hesitant to take this tour. Having just returned, I wouldn’t hesitate for a nanosecond.
What ever type of tour you take with Tristan, you won’t be disappointed. He delivered everything he he promised, and a few amazing surprises more.
Colombia Birding Tour
I visited Colombia with Tristan of Remote Expeditions and would highly recommend him. He put together a wonderful itinerary with great knowledge of the areas and attention to details to give us a wonderful sampling of the country. He is personally very gentle and fun by nature and you will return home feeling very happy and satisfied. Whatever your special interest is, I’m sure he can make an itinerary to exceed your goals.
You are in good hands with Tristan!
Tristan does an amazing job at putting together a culturally rich experience. He also does a great job at adapting to his clients needs and interests. He responds well to feedback. He is both professional and personable. I feel as though I had the opportunity not only to photograph many different elements of Colombia, but that I truly experienced the country and its culture. Our adventure took us from birding in the mountains outside of Cali, to visiting remote indigenous tribes, to visiting active fishing villages, to learning about local and historical musicians and customs, to beautiful settings in the mountains and along the seashore.
I give Tristan the highest recommendation as a guide for Colombia.
