CASA OROPÉNDOLA, SIERRA NEVADA DE SANTA MARTA

THE NATURE AND YOURSELF

Visit Casa Oropéndola and you’ll find it’s time to disconnect with your busy life, work and stress…and re-connect with clouds, mountains, nature and yourself.

Isn’t that what holidays are for? High in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta you’ll find that there’s no internet connection and your mobile phone connection is so weak you might as well forget it. And concentrate on the real reason you decided to come to Casa Oropéndola on your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Colombia.

The ethereal natural atmosphere of a cloud forest cloaking a hillside over 1500 metres above sea level. The biodiversity of the unspoiled natural habitat. The wildlife of the rainforest above and the fragrance of the coffee plantation below. The incredible sunsets and sunrises. The opportunity to do nothing but laze in a hammock and listen to the birds whenever the mood takes you. And to indulge in three gourmet meals a day…every day.

“WONDERFUL TREK IN NEPAL AND VISIT TO TIGER RESERVE”

From our very first phone call, 91�� provided excellent service. We shared our ideas and they came back with a proposal that included everything we wanted – then improved it with thoughtful suggestions. We were especially impressed that our tailor-made holiday was competitively priced. Once on the ground, everything ran smoothly. We were met at each airport, stayed in fantastic hotels, and had a brilliant guide for our trek. A truly enjoyable and well-managed trip from start to finish.

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”

This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.

“SEAMLESSLY ORGANISED, TRULY UNFORGETTABLE”

The itinerary was spot on. Claire really listened and understood the kind of holiday I wanted – from the hotels to the pace of the trip. The team on the ground were exceptional: friendly, efficient, and always one step ahead, helping with everything from flight check-ins to tax-free procedures at the end. The guides were knowledgeable and genuinely helpful. I had an amazing time. Thank you!
