Uncovering Colombia’s Magic with Tristan

I’ve been slowly reviewing all my shots from the Viva Colombia tour. It makes me relive all the incredible experiences Tristan put together for us! His love and enthusiasm for Colombia and its people was obvious. He had a good bond with all his drivers and guides, and he shines when he’s around children with his magic tricks. His people skills were excellent.

Tristan was responsive and went out of his way to make everyone happy. He took feedback to heart. I wanted to highlight how diligent he was. I have never been on a tour where the leader had prepared such a thorough talk with slides and examples of some of the creative concepts he was trying to teach.

I am so happy I managed to pull it together last minute to get onto this tour. It was SO worth it! There are a few Luminous Journey tours that I have an interest in so I’m not out of your hair yet.

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.

A Photographer’s Dream Tour with 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!

Practical Information

Vaccines

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.
