Inspiring you to make a difference |
|
We have a mission: to educate and inspire our guests to live, travel and work more responsibly. We achieve this by creating inspirational and responsibly-run trips around Colombia and other South American countries and through online global engagement webinars, field trips, and collaborative sustainable action series.

How you will travel responsibly
We calculate ALL of our carbon emissions, including your trip and we offset these emissions by donating money to reforestation projects run by Stand for Trees and others. View our Climate Action plan here.
No single-use plasticWe have a commitment to no single-use plastic during the trip. We provide you with alternatives throughout your journey including water to refill your thermos.
B CorporationWe are in the process of becoming certified as a B Corporation. This global non-profit organization certifies the most sustainable and responsible companies around the world.
|
Positive social impactWe donate at least 4 per cent of our profits back into responsible social and environmental projects in Colombia. Read about Kagumu's sustainable impact by clicking here.
Responsible partnersWe carefully choose the most responsible hotels, guides, restaurants, and any local partners we work with so that the social impact of your trip is maximized and the environmental impact is minimized.

Virtual Sustainable Development |
|
Once travel stopped in 2020, we continued our mission to educate and inspire, launching our global engagement programs that connect students from all over the world to pressing global issues. Through our SDG webinars, Sustainable Action Series, tailor-made courses, and virtual field trips we have given students concrete ways they can positively impact their community and beyond.
