Caminantes Viajes Y Turismo

What Caminantes Viajes Y Turismo does

Caminantes Viajes y Turismo LTDA is a Colombian tourism wholesaler (mayorista de turismo) founded in 1992 and headquartered in Bogotá, with a branch office in Cali. The company assembles and distributes pre-packaged leisure travel itineraries that bundle transportation, accommodation, meals, and activities, selling them both directly to consumers and through a network of allied travel agencies (Agencias Aliadas). Its core portfolio spans domestic Colombian destinations (Eje Cafetero, San Andrés, Santa Marta) and select international routes (Argentina, Mexico, Panama, Dominican Republic, Isla Margarita), with pricing ranging from roughly $541,000 to $2,785,000 COP per person for domestic packages and USD $305 to $487 for international packages, segmented by high, medium, and low seasons.

The operational platform is a website-based tour booking system with online reservations, supported by payment integrations through Zona de Pagos, PSE, and Bancolombia under PCI DSS certification, alongside organic social channels (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram) and email subscription for promotional campaigns. The company's two physical offices (Bogotá Cra 13 N° 94A-44 Of 503 and Cali Calle 5 N° 46-83) handle direct sales, while a multi-decade partnership with LAN Airlines and an exclusive representation agreement with Ecohotel Santa Bárbara anchor its supplier ecosystem. Compliance is grounded in four Registro Nacional de Turismo numbers (21357, 3965, 21355, 30708), ANATO accreditation, and adherence to Colombian tourism law (Ley 300 de 1996) and personal data protection rules (Ley 1581 de 2012).

The revenue model is transactional: one-time fees per booked package, with prices varying by destination, season, and inclusions. The company serves two customer segments — individual travelers and families (primary) and partner travel agencies (secondary, on a wholesale basis) — and offers ancillary add-on services such as visa and documentation advisory, medical assistance, hotel-only and air-only bookings, and tiered meal plans (PAM, PA, FULL). The firm operates with 22 employees and is privately held with no disclosed external funding, M&A activity, or institutional ownership.
