Peregrinos por el Mundo

What Peregrinos por el Mundo does

Peregrinos por el Mundo SAS is a privately held Colombian travel agency founded in 2011 and headquartered in Bogotá, operating under Registro Nacional de Turismo No. 50371. The company organizes group and individual tour packages with a core specialization in Catholic religious pilgrimages — including Marian sanctuary itineraries, Holy Land tours, Camino de Santiago, and Semana Santa in Europe — supplemented by cultural tours of Europe, Mexico, and Latin America, plus cruise and all-inclusive packages. Ancillary services include visa advisory, international medical insurance, airline ticket booking, and a savings/installment plan (Sistema de Abonos). Customer segments span religious travelers and parish groups (primary), senior travelers, and corporate/group organizations, with coordinated group departures typically accompanied by a priest or trip coordinator.

The business runs on a low-technology stack: a Blogger-hosted website with Wufoo inquiry forms, WhatsApp, email, and phone-based advisory. There is no mobile app, no API, and no proprietary booking platform; sales are advisory-led and pre-scheduled group departures. Revenue is generated through package tour sales (commission and markup on bundled airfare, hotels, transport, guides, and insurance), travel agency intermediation services, and visa/documentation fees. Pricing is quoted in USD with a USD 1,200 non-refundable per-passenger deposit, balance due 50-70 days pre-departure, and a 4% surcharge on credit card payments.

The go-to-market is sales-led via WhatsApp and direct advisor contact, augmented by a long-standing promotional partnership with Cristovision (Canal Católico de Colombia) for reach into the Catholic demographic, and a supplier relationship with Plus Ultra Airlines for transatlantic routing from Bogotá and Cartagena. Headcount is 1-10 employees, there is no external funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no mobile app presence, indicating a small, owner-managed agency with a niche, relationship-driven operating model.
