[News Boquete] One Last Chance for Our November Colombia Tour!
Hi everyone,
Oscar and Megan here again—We’re making one last push to make our upcoming Colombia tour happen:
🇨🇴 November 24–December 1, 2026
We already have a small group who really wants to go, but we need six more guests to make the tour possible. If Colombia has been on your list, please reach out as soon as possible so we can confirm the trip! (February tour is already sold out and our next tour won't be until June 2027)
The itinerary includes Medellín, Santa Fe de Antioquia, and Guatapé. You’ll experience the energy and culture of Medellín, the small-town charm of Santa Fe, and the breathtaking scenery of Guatapé—all with a small group and the local knowledge and personal attention our tours are known for.
It’s also a fun way to spend Thanksgiving with us in Colombia while escaping some of the traffic and noise surrounding Boquete’s November 28 celebrations!
Tour Price
$3,200 per couple or double occupancy
$2,100 for single occupancy
Your Tour Includes
Seven nights in carefully selected, highly rated accommodations
Private ground transportation throughout the tour
All meals
Planned sightseeing, activities, and local experiences
Knowledgeable bilingual guides
Coordination and support from arrival through departure
Not Included
International airfare to and from Medellín
Alcoholic beverages
The tour is limited to a maximum of 15 guests. If you’re interested, please contact us quickly so we can determine whether we have enough guests to confirm the departure.
For the complete itinerary, availability, and booking information, email MuchoGustoColombia@gmail.com or WhatsApp Megan at 6959-7341.
We would love to spend Thanksgiving with you and show you the Colombia we know and love!
Oscar & Megan

[News Boquete] boquete.app is GONE...
Welcome to HubHive
a Hub of information and a Hive of activity
After 2 years of planning, and hundreds of hours coding, building, and testing,
hubhive.biz is Live and ready for action.
600+ listings are reason enough to visit, but we've added an
Artisan Marketplace that has spectacular products to choose from:
Paintings, Sculptures, Photographs, Skincare, and even Salsas.
Don't panic if you have boquete.app bookmarked, it will always take you to hubhive.biz.
Why the name change? It's such a radical improvement that it warranted a new identity.
- Ratings and Reviews for all Listings
- Superior Search Engine
- Spanish available
