Logistics & Homework

Practical Information

Yellow Fever Vaccination

The most important vaccine to consider for Colombia is Yellow Fever. While it is not always required for entry into the country if you are arriving directly from North America or Europe, it is highly recommended—and often mandatory—if your itinerary includes coastal national parks (such as Tayrona), the Amazon, or other low-altitude regions under 2,300 meters. If this applies to your tour, you must receive the vaccine at least 10 days prior to arrival and carry your physical International Certificate of Vaccination (the yellow card) with you.

Routine and Recommended Immunizations

To ensure a safe and comfortable trip, health authorities generally recommend being up-to-date on standard childhood vaccines, along with a few travel-specific boosters:

Hepatitis A and Typhoid: Highly recommended for all travelers to Colombia to protect against food and water-borne illnesses.
Tetanus: Ensure your booster is up to date (within the last 10 years) before departure.
Malaria: Depending on the specific destinations on your tour (especially low-lying rural or jungle areas), malaria preventative medication may be advised.

When to Consult a Professional

Because vaccine requirements can change and depend heavily on your personal medical history, we recommend scheduling an appointment with a travel clinic or your doctor at least 4 to 6 weeks before your departure. This ensures you have plenty of time to get any required doses and that they are fully effective by the time you land.

Detailed Trip Notes, including practical tips, cultural insights, and a complete packing list will be sent to you 60 days before departure.

Testimonials

Fantastic trip off the beaten path

Tristan is a very knowledgeable guide and photographer, and he is also very personable. Traveling with him was a very nice experience and we had lots of laughs too!

The trip was flawlessly organized and Tristan understood our needs very well, tailoring the itinerary to ensure we had the best experience possible. Thanks to him, we discovered Colombia off the beaten path.

Last but not least, I have done a number of photography trips and Tristan is probably the most dedicated teacher I have traveled with. He is really passionate about passing on his knowledge and passion about photography.

I will certainly book another trip with Remote Expeditions in the near future.

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.

Tristan Quevilly

Cuba has pulsed through my life since childhood, thanks to my family's deep ties. I didn't just visit; I studied the language, lived and worked there coordinating activities and mastering salsa, and spent months scouting – even getting stranded during the 2020 lockdown! This profound immersion, combined with 25 years of inherited connections and dedicated exploration of local boxing gyms, dance schools, and communities, fuels my photography tours. My passion is crafting immersive journeys built on genuine relationships and extensive experience, allowing you to connect with and capture the true, vibrant spirit of Cuba through an insider's lens.
