Palomino
A region that calls to adventurers in Latin America, Palomino is a prime example of the diversity Colombia has to offer. Located at the foothills of Sierra Nevada, this small town is home to an ethnically diverse population including members of the Kogui and Arhuaco tribes. This region boasts distinct indigenous communities along the river banks and rich ecosystems. The verdant jungle spills onto pristine beaches which separate dramatic mountain glaciers from the Caribbean ocean.
Arriving by helicopter you will be greeted by a local indigenous guide who will take you on paddleboards and tubes downstream until sheltered by the forest canopy. This is the perfect way to take in the rich abundance of flora and fauna including exotic birds and howler monkeys. Enjoy a wild and delicious barbecue lunch in this jungle paradise, before trekking through lush wilderness until you discover a tropical beach. Snorkel, relax, or ride horses along the dazzling white sand. Unwind with a cocktail whilst dinner is prepared, as the sun gently dips below the horizon.
