Santa Cruz Trek (2025-2026)

What a wonderful Trip !

What a wonderful trip. Tristan is such a lovely person and well organised.

We had a wonderful trip around the Sierra Nevada in Colombia, up to Camarones and even Mompox. We visited so many places and met so many great people and communities.

It was FANTASTIC.

I highly recommand Remote Expeditions and Tristan for any trip you intend to plan

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!

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!

Authentic and well organized expedition in an indigenous tribe

Tristan guided me through the mountains of Sierra Nevada and facilitated all the details for meeting a kogi tribe.

It was a work trip as I was working on a very specific topic ( panela) and Tristan took care of all the details and was very
understanding.

The whole experience felt very authentic, and overall Tristan is so passionate
about what he does it's hard not to have a blast during the trip.
