Small-group cultural & adventure travel
Explore the abundance and vibrancy of Colombia
Hand-built journeys through the cloud-forest towns of Antioquia, the wild Pacific coast, and the desert edge of South America — guided by two friends who never stopped coming back.
Why travel with us
Refined comfort,
real adventure.
We design trips that feel safe and well-looked-after without ever feeling staged. Five-star hotels and private villas one day; a Wayuú ranchería, a jungle waterfall, or a tandem paraglider the next — at whatever pace suits the group.
Genuinely small groups
Ten travellers at most. Small enough that you actually get to know your guides — and they get to know you.
Rooted in the place
Coffee and cocoa farms, family kitchens, indigenous communities — time with the people who make Colombia what it is.
Adventure, dialed to you
Paragliding, whale-watching, jungle treks and sandboarding are on offer — never an obligation. You set the intensity.
Looked after, always
Private transport throughout and founders trained as a Wilderness First Responder and a licensed EMT.
The journeys
Three ways to
wander Colombia.
Each route runs on set dates through 2027, or as a private departure on dates of your own. Tap any journey for the full day-by-day.
Two friends, one country
They kept coming back.
Madison and Riley are best friends who first came to Colombia to travel — and kept finding their way back, pulled in by the culture, the landscapes, and the people. In 2025 they turned that pull into Wild Wander Tours, built to share the country the way they came to know it: slowly, locally, and with a lot of heart.
Moments from the road
A country that
refuses to be dull.
Colour, coffee, cobblestones, and a tandem flight or two — a glimpse of what a week with us actually looks like.

Prep for the trip
Practice your Spanish.
Weekly video calls to sharpen real conversational Spanish — for travellers who already have some Spanish and want to build the confidence to actually speak it in Colombia.
Hear it from Riley
"I want to speak Spanish with you."
What it is
Conversation practice,
not a classroom.
This is for travellers who already have a working base in Spanish — from school, an app, or past trips — and want to actually use it. Relaxed, one-on-one video calls focused on real spoken Spanish: ordering food, asking for directions, chatting with your driver, haggling at a market. Not a beginner course, not grammar from scratch — just practice, with someone fluent who knows exactly what comes up on a trip through Colombia.
Why it's worth it
Real travel Spanish
Colloquial Colombian slang and local expressions — the words guides, hosts, and locals actually use, not textbook dialogue you'll never hear.
Low-pressure practice
No classroom, no grading — just real conversation, sharpening the Spanish you already have.
From someone who lives it
Practice with someone fluent, speaking Spanish day to day while living in Colombia.
Built around your trip
Sessions timed to your departure and focused on what you'll actually need for your itinerary.
Pricing
One simple package.
Sold as a bundle only — no single sessions.
4 sessions · 45 minutes each
- Four one-on-one video calls

- Real conversational Spanish, not grammar drills

About Wild Wander Tours
Best friends who
couldn't stay away.
The story
How it began
Madison Gorsh and Riley Ferré are two best friends who met through their love of paragliding. Both spent years in Colombia, falling for the vibrant culture, the abundant nature, and the generous people. In 2025, that passion became Wild Wander Tours.
Our mission
Safe, interactive tours built on cross-cultural exchange, respect for nature, and the kind of adventure you only find by immersing yourself in a new place.
Your guides
Riley Ferré
Riley has lived in Colombia for the past three years, working as a cross-country paragliding tour guide and exploring every corner of the country's diversity. Colombia has become a second home, and she loves sharing its magic. She speaks fluent Spanish and is trained as a Wilderness First Responder.
Madison Gorsh
Madison has been travelling to Colombia for three years and stays captivated by its natural and cultural abundance. She's a civil engineer, snowboarder, rock-climber, and paraglider pilot, and she holds her EMT license — so the logistics are handled and so is the first-aid kit.

Before you go
Travel insurance we recommend.
We suggest a plan covering 100% of trip cost, at least $50,000 in medical evacuation, and $150,000 in emergency assistance and transportation. These three meet or exceed that bar:
World Nomads
Built specifically for adventure travel and popular with small-group tours across South America. Covers whitewater rafting on the Standard plan — if you're doing the optional paragliding add-on in Jericó, choose the Explorer tier or higher, since Standard doesn't include it.
