Luxury Travel Designers · Colombia
AURALIS designs journeys into the real one.
And there is a partner who makes sure your clients reach it — safely, seamlessly, and in a way they will spend the rest of their lives describing to others.
Speak with CamiloThe Name
Latin for gold.
The metal that obsessed the conquistadors when they arrived in Colombia, searching for El Dorado. They spent centuries looking for it. They never found it.
We know where it is.
AURALIS — of golden nature. A name built for a country that has always been worth finding.
The Territory
One is designed for tourists. It has menus in five languages, folkloric shows staged for groups, and coffee tours with a tasting script.
The other one is where the chef's family eats. Where the musician plays because he loves music. Where the coffee farm owner serves you himself, at his own table.
AURALIS operates exclusively in the second.
Sixteen years of relationships built one introduction at a time. That is not something a new operator can offer. It is not something that can be rushed.
Every AURALIS journey is designed so that your client never encounters the Colombia that concerns people. Private transfers from door to door. Properties we know personally. Guides who are not contractors — they are people we have worked with for years. When you recommend Colombia through AURALIS, you are not taking a risk. You are making a promise you know will be kept.
The Operator
He joined British Airways Colombia — learning how the world moves.
He founded the leading Asia specialist in Latin America, with operations across Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, Panama, and Ecuador — learning how discerning travelers think.
He founded Colombian's Gate — a luxury DMC built from scratch for the international market. As the operation grew, it became the natural partner for Metropolitan Touring, one of Latin America's most respected travel groups, and was rebranded as Metropolitan Touring Colombia. For sixteen years, Camilo led that company as General Manager.
That company becomes AURALIS.
Trusted by leading travel advisors across North America for over 16 years.
Thirty years in luxury travel. One country. Every door open.
For the travel advisor, this means one thing: you are never alone in this recommendation.
When you send a client to Colombia with AURALIS, Camilo is personally accountable for every journey we deliver. Not a team. Not a call center. Camilo.
What AURALIS Delivers
Every AURALIS journey is designed from a single question: what would make this traveler understand Colombia in a way they will spend the rest of their life describing to others?
The answer is different every time. The standard never changes.
What this looks like in practice
What clients say
"I have used AURALIS on multiple occasions for custom travel to Colombia. They have always done an excellent job. My clients couldn't say enough about the guides and drivers. I can confidently say I will promote Colombia to my clients."
Valerie Edgemon
Travel Advisor
"They were on top of everything from start to finish and provided the highest quality of experiences. Clients will enjoy the luxury provided — as well as their thoughtful touches and attention to detail. I would VERY much recommend them to anyone looking to put together a unique and well thought out itinerary."
Pam Troy
Travel Advisor
"An exceptional trip that I will cherish for years. From Bogotá to Medellín to Cartagena — the culture, activities and cuisine was unique to each area. Our guides were knowledgeable and ready to assist with any request. I would highly recommend AURALIS and I will certainly promote Colombia to my clients."
Tami Martinson
Travel Advisor
These are not marketing claims. They are what happens when sixteen years of expertise meets a traveler who is finally ready for the real Colombia.
Featured Journeys
Each one tailor-made, private, and built on sixteen years of relationships — every one revealing a Colombia most travelers never reach.
A cultural journey along the river that formed the identity of the country. Villages, musicians, living memory.
18th-century private residences, chefs with no menu, collectors who open their patios.
The Coffee Cultural Landscape from within — third-generation farms, the ritual of the first cup before dawn.
The world's most transformed city, plus Guatapé and the villages of Antioquia that few ever visit.
Latin America's most underrated capital. World-class gastronomy, contemporary art, and relentless energy.
Private expeditions into Tayrona and the Sierra Nevada — where the jungle meets the sea, far from marked trails.
The First Cup
Your first Colombian coffee is never served at the hotel.
Upon arrival, your AURALIS host escorts you to a carefully selected specialty coffee house known only to locals. A local barista prepares a single-origin coffee, grown somewhere in Colombia's highland coffee regions. Your guide tells you the story of the land, the families who tend it, and the country you are about to discover.
It takes thirty minutes. It changes everything.
At the end, you receive a small bag of the same coffee you just enjoyed — and a card that tells its story.
Available in Cartagena, Medellín, and Bogotá. Included in every AURALIS journey — Collection and Select. Scheduled on arrival or at the opening of the first full day, whichever suits your clients best.
The Last Cup
Before the transfer to the airport, your AURALIS guide shares one final moment with your clients: a cup of Colombian coffee or hot chocolate, and a handwritten note.
Not a checkout. A goodbye.
Available in Cartagena, Medellín, and Bogotá. Included in every AURALIS journey — Collection and Select.
Consortium Partners
AURALIS holds active membership in the four most important luxury travel organizations in the world.
The original Colombian DMC in Virtuoso — and to this day, the one with the deepest roots in the network.
The only local DMC in Colombia accepted by Signature.
Premier network of independent luxury travel agencies across North America.
Chosen operator of USTOA's first-ever Out of Country Meeting in Colombia.
If your agency is a member of any of these organizations, AURALIS is already part of your network. The introduction has already been made.
A direct conversation with Camilo — to understand who your client is, what they have already experienced, and what Colombia can offer them that nowhere else can.
There are no standard itineraries. There is no catalogue to browse. There is only the question of what the right journey looks like for this specific traveler.
