Hiking to the 5 Lagoons

Unveiling Beauty Through the Lens with 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.  

In addition, Tristan’s willingness to help participants with the technical and artistic aspects of photography was greatly appreciated.  Plus he’s just great fun! The trip was well organized and the hotels and food were superb.  Overall, Viva Colombia! provided diverse photographic opportunities that would have broad appeal to photography enthusiasts looking for untrammeled travel adventure in a fascinating South American country.Highly recommended!

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.

Beautiful discovery of southern Colombia

Wonderful discovery of southern Colombia. Excellent organization, and Tristan is an outstanding guide who shares his love for the country.

Wonderful trip organized by the agency Remote Expeditions

Tristan is an exceptional guide, initially a great specialist in Colombia, and his expertise has expanded to all of South America. A skilled photographer and experienced trekker, his trips are captivating.
We had a fantastic journey in Colombia for the four of us. Great professionalism and kindness.
I highly recommend him.

A Compassionate Journey with 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.
