Welcome New Explorers!

Hello, Adventurers! I want to welcome all of you to a special adventure of a lifetime based on my novel, "Cattleya Queen Colombia." This tour was inspired and brought forth by the readers whose comments convinced me to develop a plan to show others just how magical and interesting Colombia really is.

Last October, I took my first group of travelers, who came from four different countries: Honduras, Costa Rica, Canada, and the United States. Everyone was pleasantly surprised at all the events, parties, and excursions that were included. They were astonished at how beautiful, scenic, and safe the experiences were.

It went so well that I have made the decision to take two groups this year. One in August, which includes the world's largest flower festival. Something I myself have never seen! You do not want to miss this if you are a flower lover, gardener, or just someone who loves a colorful experience. I impress upon you not to miss this tour. But that is not all that we will experience in August; it's full of great events and other excursions that are just spectacular! In Jerico, we’ll attend a kite festival where the whole town participates, and the skies are full of beautiful floating pieces of art.

On both the August and October tours, you will experience the exact same climate. The temperature will be in the 70s during the day and low 60s to 50s at night. So bring a light sweater or jacket and whatever you need to make yourself feel comfortable at those temperatures.

October's tour has similar events and excursions, including the Belvedere gardens in Carmen de Viboral. It is no doubt that you will feast your eyes on the most exquisite display of orchids and other tropical flowers, many exotic birds, and and your taste buds will experience delectable dishes from a five-star chef! You’ll also experience Medellin’s famous salsa festival, Carmen del Viboral and Jerico with it’s El dia de Raza, a colorful festival with street vendors, dancers, live music, horses dancing in the streets, and lively Andean villagers enjoying their cultural celebrations! And believe me, you will too!

I can't wait to meet everyone. Hopefully, you’ve read my book - you really should, it will give you a much more rich experience as we explore the beautiful country of Colombia together with myself as your guide on this memorable journey through this amazing South American country.

DALE!! - Marianna Love
