Who We Are And What We Believe In
Medellin Day Trips.com, is an agency specialized in private tours around Medellín and its outskirts. We are a group of experienced local tour guides who have been working in tourism as freelancers for many years. We offer one-day rural or urban trips in private cars, with English- speaking guides and all the kindness that Medellin and its people have to offer.
Fair Trade Tourism
We are proud to say that we are a 100% fair trade tourism agency. This means that by choosing MedellinDayTrips, travelers directly benefit local communities and economies and support tourism businesses committed to fair, responsible and sustainable tourism practices. We always use local guides and pay them a fair wage and seek an equitable distribution of benefits and respect for human rights, culture and the environment. We also make sure that the people who contribute their land, resources, labor and knowledge to tourism, are the ones who reap the benefits.
Eco-Friendly
Medellin Day Trips would not exist without the stunning beauty and outstanding landscapes that the State of Antioquia has to offer. This is why we recognize that we have a responsibility to the environment beyond legal and regulatory requirements. We are committed to reducing our environmental impact and continually improve its performance as an integral part of our business strategy and operating methods, with regular review points. We encourage our customers, suppliers and other stakeholders to do the same.
Our cars: We are proud to say that we strive at leaving the less possible carbon footprint by using hybrid cars with natural gas that don´t pollute our environment, therefore contributing to make our world more sustainable for our future generations.
In-house initiatives: Our brochures are printed using vegetable based inks on FSC mixed sources paper. All other marketing collateral is distributed either via usb or email to reduce the need for paper.
We have a “think before you print” policy and encourage staff to reduce usage of resources (i.e. lights off, computers off overnight etc.)
