“As I drank my morning coffee at Hacienda Bambusa, listening to hummingbirds and soaking in the serenity, I knew this small boutique hotel was an oasis I needed to share with others.” See why Knowmad Operations Specialist, Elizabeth, loves this dreamy, boutique hotel in Colombia.
“The toughest part is trying to find something we didn’t love! The entire trip was amazing. The people who picked us up, drove us around, took us on tours of the cities and those who guided us on our hikes; every single person was awesome and shared so much fascinating culture and history. We had the best seats in the house at the tango house with the dancers three feet away from us. All our accommodations were excellent. The owners at Aguas Arriba were always checking to make sure we had everything we needed and Diego our hiking guide was wonderful.
Rick and I have been traveling the world for 35 years, and traveling on a trip planned by Knowmad was the most incredible experience of our lives.” – Newby and Rick, Custom Argentina and Uruguay Adventure
