Our Approach
Our Approach
Our goal is to help with the protection of natural diversity through tourism, conservation and research, by generating passion and awareness among people who travel with us.
We offer guided visits to several natural places around Colombia, focusing on observation and photography of the rich biodiversity of the country, with focus in orchids, flora and butterflies but the places we usually visit are usually also good for birding, herping or just enjoying nature.
We like to offer premium quality services through all inclusive expeditions were the best quality services are delivered and are also flexible to accommodate to your preferences.
We really value sustainability and inclusion, and that is why we always hire local guides everywhere we go, and use locally owned facilities whenever possible.
Our Story
Our Story
We, Luis and Sebastian, have been exploring the Colombian outdoors for years, while looking for orchids and photographing nature. We have been able to know several fantastic locations and many nice people while also discovering some new species and generating knowledge about the biodiversity of the visited places.
For some time, we have been thinking about how to share all this natural richness and our field experience and knowledge with others, while helping with the protection of nature; and that is how InSitu Expeditions was born. As a way for us to take others to those fabulous places and help them learn first hand, about all the diversity that can be found on our beloved planet earth.
