Our Creators
Liliana Betancurt Castañeda was born and university educated in Armenia, Colombia and Malaysia. She is fluent in English as well as her native Spanish and has partnered with Dr O'Connell to bring you the best of what central Colombia has to offer. She understands the concept of "single resource tour planning" for visitors to this rapidly modernizing, high mountain region. At the customer’s direction, her tours can concentrate on historical or scientific education, recreation, focused instruction or a combination of all.
Dr O'Connell, a U.S. citizen, retired physician and frequent traveler, has long recognized the shortcomings of travel agencies, especially in Latin America – many fraught with incomplete services and persistent language barriers.
Together, Travelongo Colombia recognizes the mismatch between what English speakers want and what other agencies typically provide. By simply choosing from a checklist of desired accommodations, activities and an assortment of additional tailored services, Travelongo Colombia can make it all happen. Finally, a truly complete vacation coordinator.
