We want to talk to you about the great force that has been driving us all at QUIMBAYA LATIN AMERICA for years, and which enables us to work hard to create journeys that combine wonder, respect for local cultures and a commitment to Responsible Tourism.
For 37 years, we have been transforming life’s moments into travel experiences, forging links between travellers and the cultural and natural riches of our continent.
Our DMC business is all about CREATIVITY.
For us, travel has always been a source of development and mutual learning: for you, our customers, for our shared passengers and for everyone involved in organising each Discovery of Latin America project.
A strong commitment to sustainable tourism
Respecting our commitments is our Principle and the Rule of action that enables us to reinforce our values and pass them on to our employees every day.
We have built our company on respect for people, and this vision has enabled us to build a company with a long-term future, recognised for its expertise and its human approach.
Sustainable tourism is in our DNA: respect for the environment and local communities has become a necessity, and creating immersive, sustainable experiences a priority.
Naturally, we have practised Responsible Tourism that respects nature and local populations, and we have gradually put in place concrete actions to minimise our environmental impact and maximise the benefits for local populations.
These include
- A reduced ecological footprint: Through our partnership with Refill Not Landfill, we have incorporated plastic-free itineraries, encouraging travellers to use reusable insulated water bottles (supplied by Quimbaya Latin America) and free water refill points.
- Tourism that serves communities: We work with local associations and indigenous communities to offer immersive experiences that respect traditions. Our tours incorporate solidarity tourism initiatives, which enable travellers to meet artisans and locals sharing their culture and know-how.
- Promoting natural and cultural heritage: Each tour highlights the continent’s rich biodiversity, ancestral traditions and historical heritage. Our aim is to preserve these treasures while guaranteeing an authentic and enriching experience.
Responsible Tourism: a lever for everyday sustainable development
We are convinced of this and we see it every day.
Working hand in hand with our local partners and evolving together.
Exchanging, adapting, evolving and above all ANTICIPATING: being able to create personalised, immersive and responsible experiences that encourage encounters and exchanges with local people is also part of our DNA.
Seeing local businesses, communities and families progress as a result of our work together is hugely satisfying.
Passionate and committed destination teams
The story of Quimbaya Latin America is the story of men and women who are passionate about their countries, eager to share their cultures with the world, and faithful to the principles and values of tourism that respects nature and people.
Our local teams, spread across 11 countries in Latin America, are creators of moments of happiness. As a company on a human scale, we have always preserved our authenticity.
Seeing a traveller marvel at Machu Picchu, vibrate to the rhythm of the Samba in Rio de Janeiro or be moved by the landscapes of Patagonia are the finest rewards of our work.
Behind these magical moments, a chain of experts work with passion. Each one, in his or her own way, contributes to making each trip an unforgettable experience.
Our values: our strong identity
Passion and professionalism: Each trip is carefully designed by local experts and must guarantee an unforgettable and personalised experience.
