Nous étions un groupe de 7 et Arthur nous a fait vivre une expérience inoubliable. Il parle un français excellent, ce qui a rendu chaque échange fluide et agréable. Passionné et attentionné, il nous a fait découvrir Cali et Medellín avec beaucoup de pédagogie, en partageant l'histoire, la culture et les bonnes adresses de chaque ville. Toujours souriant et disponible, il a su s'adapter aux envies de chacun tout en gérant parfaitement notre groupe. Grâce à lui, nous avons découvert la Colombie de l'intérieur, bien au-delà des circuits classiques.

Agence de voyage et guides au petit soin pour nous tous. Nous étions un groupe de 12 amis en visites sur la Colombie. Arthur (ainsi qu’ Angelica) guide francophone nous ont fait découvrir des endroits splendide loin des attrapes touristes. Merci encore à vous deux. A travel agency and guides who took great care of us all. We were a group of 12 friends visiting Colombia. Arthur (and Angelica), our French-speaking guide, showed us some splendid places far from the tourist traps. Thank you both once again.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Pura Colombia Mindful Travel, and I genuinely cannot recommend them highly enough. From the very beginning, Eliana and Arthur were fantastic to deal with. Organizing something for a group our size could easily have become complicated, but they made the entire booking process remarkably easy. They were responsive, attentive, flexible and incredibly well organized. Every question was answered, every detail was taken care of, and we felt completely confident that we were in good hands before the tour had even begun. Our visit to la comunidad de Moraviva was something truly special. This was so much more than simply a tour. It was an opportunity to meet people, hear their stories and experience a side of Medellín that visitors could so easily miss. It felt genuine, thoughtful and deeply human, and it was one of those experiences that stays with you long after the day is over. Edgar was an exceptional guide. Warm, knowledgeable and engaging, he gave us the context to really understand what we were seeing while allowing the community and its people to tell their own story. He struck exactly the right balance, and our entire group came away feeling that we had experienced something meaningful rather than simply visited somewhere. What impressed me most about Pura Colombia Mindful Travel is that this feels like a company run by genuinely wonderful people who care enormously about what they do, the communities they work with and the people traveling with them. Arthur, Eliana and Edgar were all superb, and they made our group feel incredibly welcome and looked after from the first message to the end of our experience. This is a company I would trust without hesitation and one I will happily book with time and time again whenever we return to Colombia. If I could give them more than five stars, I absolutely would.

About us

Pura Colombia Mindful Travel was founded in 2009 by Arthur Portmann. With our small local team in Rionegro, near Medellín, we design every journey personally – from the coffee mountains of Antioquia to the whales of the Pacific and the reefs of the Caribbean.

Arthur often guides trips himself, and our guides, diving instructors and partners are people we know and trust: local families, indigenous communities and small hosts who make Colombia so special.

Mindful Travel means travelling slowly and respectfully, with real encounters and a positive impact on the people and places you visit.
