40. For lodging, do you prefer:

Eco lodges, usually set close to rivers, away from town centres, owned and run by people who are nature lovers. Toilet is usually dry (sometimes, you have a choice between regular and dry toilet), and the food is made from organic products from the garden or from the neighbour’s garden. This is where you’ll be able to enjoy breakfast while watching a monkey or a toucan, and enjoy beautiful and natural sites while eating and sleeping.

Lodging called ‘fincas’, usually in the countryside, away from town centres, they are usually well equipped (swimming-pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, pool tables and other games) and enable customers to relax after a full day of visiting.

Regular hotels are often situated in town centres, close to bars, restaurants and discos. If you are in a colonial town, it is a good way to stay in old beautiful houses.

Youth hostels, on a shoestring, they are cheap and friendly, it can be a good way to meet other travellers. One can sleep in a dormitory but often, double rooms are available.

Alternate all these options depending on what is available and best suited to the place and the moment.

41. And in those lodgings, do you prefer:

A collective dormitory with shared bathroom, the most economic option, with little intimacy but opportunities to meet other people…

A dormitory for the group, everyone in the same dorm (couples can each sleep in single beds) without other travellers the group doesn’t know, the bathroom can be reserved for the group only, but can also be outside the dorm and shared with other travellers.

In double rooms with private bathroom for couples, and double, triple or quadruple rooms with separated beds and private bathrooms, this option is not necessarily fancy but enables to have a minimum of privacy.

All of the above formula with extra options such as jacuzzi, television, big screen, mini bar…

Alternate all those options depending on the availability, specify us in the bottom box how

42. Colombian people are usually very friendly, warm and sincere, and so far, they have been protected from mass tourism, because the country is only starting to open to tourism. Tourists who visited Colombia usually answer the question “What did you like most in Colombia?” by “The people”, especially when they speak basic Spanish. Speaking about the Spanish language, where do you stand?

43. We don’t know each other but we will accompany your group for your trip, or part of your trip. We will spend time together, how do you foresee this relationship?

44. Colombia has mountain landscapes, with windy roads, not always very smooth (even though it is getting better, slowly but surely), we may also take boats (the sea is not always perfectly smooth) or even get to high altitude:

45. One question in order to determine what kind of traveller you are:

46. We love animals, we have two dogs and two parrots and Trigana’s jungle is full of wild animals. So our last question is regarding your relationship to pets and wild animals:

Anything else we should know about you, your trip etc.
