See the full itinerary →Most trips are built from the same listings.
Booking sites sell the same top tours in every city, and the operators on them pay 20–30% of every booking to be listed. The hosts locals rave about are often booked another way: by phone, in Spanish, through someone who knows them.
Offlist goes and gets those. Our concierge calls the operators in their own language, we try every experience ourselves, and we only sell what clears the bar. You get one price, shown up front, and a host who answers when something goes sideways.
How a trip gets on the list
- Step 1 of 3
We find what isn't listed
Our AI concierge calls local operators in their language, during their business hours, says up front that it's an AI, and asks for written quotes.
- Step 2 of 3
We test it in person
We score every experience out of 5 on uniqueness, the host, safety and reliability, and we try it ourselves. Anything under 4.0 doesn't make the trip.
- Step 3 of 3
You just show up
Private transport, a bilingual guide, an Offlist host on the ground and a 24/7 concierge. No group bus, no hidden fees.
The list
Bogotá is on sale. Cartagena, Mexico City, Marrakech and Kyoto are drafts: we scout each one in person before seats open.

Ask a question →The U.S. State Department rates Colombia Level 3, "Reconsider travel." Here's how we travel.
Bogotá isn't one of the areas the advisory says to avoid. We still plan every day around its guidance, and we'll tell you straight if anything changes. Each trip page shows the current level for that country.
- Private, licensed transport only. No street taxis at any point.
- Registered operators and guides. Every partner holds a current tourism registration where the country requires one, such as Colombia's RNT, and liability insurance.
- A host with the group, a line open 24/7. Plus a written emergency plan for every day.
- A pre-trip briefing on altitude, getting around, dating-app scams and demonstrations.
- If the destination moves to Level 4, we cancel and refund you in full.
Questions people ask first
Are flights included?
No. Prices are land only, so you can use points or fly from anywhere. From Chicago, Avianca flies nonstop to Bogotá from O'Hare in about 6 hours. We'll send flight suggestions that land on Day 1 in the afternoon.
How big is the group?
10 travelers is the target, 12 the maximum. A trip runs with as few as 6.
How does the deposit work?
Reserve online with $500 per traveler. It's fully refundable for 7 days. The balance is due about 30 days before departure (Feb 2, 2027 for the March Bogotá trip). If fewer than 6 seats are paid by then, we cancel and refund everyone in full.
Can my friends and I book the whole trip?
Yes. Groups of 8 or more can book a private departure on their own dates at the same per-person price. Request a callback and we'll handle the date poll and split the payments.
Do I need to speak Spanish?
No. Your guide is bilingual and every host either speaks English or works with an interpreter we provide.
How hard is the páramo hike?
It's a steady walk at high altitude, not a climb. You'll have two days in Bogotá to adjust first. If it isn't for you, choose the Zipaquirá Salt Cathedral that morning instead.
Why are some trips marked draft?
We don't sell a trip until we've tested every experience in person. Draft trips show the plan and an estimated price; join the waitlist and we'll write when seats open.
