Latin America Travel Guide

We absolutely loved our family trip to Colombia! Traveling with my husband and our five-year-old son, we were able to experience such a wonderful variety of what the country has to offer. We enjoyed the incredible culture, fabulous food, and, above all, the warm and welcoming people who made us feel so at home throughout our journey.

The itinerary was a beautiful combination of experiences. We started in the historic and vibrant city of Cartagena, then had time to relax and enjoy the beautiful beaches of Barú, and finally immersed ourselves in nature at a beautiful ecolodge in Antioquia, surrounded by the incredible landscapes of the region. Each destination offered something completely different and together they created the perfect balance of culture, relaxation, adventure, and nature for our family.

What made the trip especially memorable, though, was the people. The team from the Zicasso travel company who assisted us throughout the journey was incredibly warm, attentive, and helpful, and the guides we met along the way were wonderful. A special mention must go to our guide in Antioquia, who was absolutely incredible. He was not only knowledgeable and attentive, but also so kind and wonderful with our son. He made him feel comfortable, included, and excited about each experience, which meant so much to us as parents.

Overall, it was a truly special family trip and we cannot wait to return to Colombia!

Trip went perfectly. Zicasso’s travel specialist did an amazing job compiling and tweaking an itinerary for us after hearing all the places we wanted to visit. All scheduled connecting transfers and in-country flights were on schedule and all the hotels selected were amazing. We couldn't have had a better two weeks in Costa Rica. Highly recommend booking with her.

The trip to Peru was fantastic. Zicasso’s travel specialist was very responsive as we planned the itinerary. The team on the ground in Lima provided a great overview of the food and culture. We spent more time with the team in Cusco, who traveled with us daily to historical sites, including Machu Picchu. The team was terrific.

Zicasso’s travel specialist was great throughout, from listening to our initial ideas to setting us up with the best drivers, hotels, and local tour experts… and, importantly, to be available to assist with questions and changing conditions.

Everything was excellent. I'd recommend a couple of things. First, either pick up later or let clients know they will arrive at the next hotel several hours before check-in. Suggest ways to fill that time as the client will be surprised and not have planned anything, as was the case with us at La Fortuna and Playa Hermosa.

Directions were unclear once we got off the boat heading to La Fortuna. Expected someone to be holding a sign or looking for us specifically. Instead, we had to frantically search for the hotel name and ask a bus driver if he was supposed to take us there.

Zicasso’s travel specialist organized a fantastic trip. Every detail was addressed and the trip unfolded flawlessly!
