Meet Ale & André

We’re Alejandra and André, a Colombian-Portuguese couple, and our mission is simple: to share our love for Colombia and Latin America with the world.

Inspired by our unique life and perspective, we create travel experiences that allow you to truly connect with the heart of the region. Either by joining one of our group experiences or by co-creating with you a custom trip.

With our group trips now going to Panamá, we invite you to join us on a journey of discovery. Together, we’ll explore the towering Andes, the sun-kissed beaches of the Central-American Caribbean, and the vibrant energy of Latin America’s most captivating cities, besides always offering company to get to know our second-home, Colombia.

We pour our passion into every itinerary, making sure your each trip reflects everything we love about the places we call home. We work closely with local guides and leaders who will give you an insider’s view of each destination, ensuring you make memories that last a lifetime.

We take care of the details, but it’s you who gets to live the experience. Every trip is designed to offer something special, putting you at the center of your own adventure, fully immersed in the culture and beauty of Latin America. This region is transformational and you're alive to experience it.

Come with us and discover the magic that’s waiting for you here.

What our travellers are saying

The best way to get to know a country is to do so accompanied by locals. That is the value proposition of The Tripidea and I am sure I made the best choice when I decided to travel with them to Colombia! We don't always think about traveling accompanied by a group of strangers. But the truth is that sharing experiences brought us closer together and I am sure we made friends for life on this trip. I will definitely travel with The Tripidea again to get to know other areas of Colombia and, who knows, other countries in Latin America if the opportunity arises in the future! I highly recommend it!

Our experience in Colombia was simply incredible! Alone, we might never have had the courage to go, but in a group everything became even more special. The atmosphere was always light and fun, with incredible people sharing this adventure with us.The landscapes left us breathless, and each place had something unique to offer — from the magical Cocora Valley to the vibrant cities, not to mention the paradisiacal beaches. We returned home with our hearts full of culture and a special fondness for fruit juices, which left us truly addicted and longing for them.Without a doubt, an experience to repeat!

Francisco Póvoa Beato

An unforgettable experience in Colombia! The trip was absolutely incredible and very well organized. From the first to the last day, everything was thought out in detail. I loved every moment — it was a perfect combination of fun, discovery and cultural immersion. The activities were very well chosen, always with an authentic and local touch, which allowed me to experience Colombia in its true essence. Unique, out-of-the-ordinary experiences that made me feel truly connected to the country, its culture and its people. It was a memorable trip, full of special moments that were very different from the norm. I totally recommend it! Thank you TRIPIDEA

The trip to Colombia exceeded all our expectations! From the first day, we were surprised by the hospitality of the Colombian people, who are always welcoming and ready to help. The country has a vibrant energy, and each destination brought a new discovery. The group made everything even more special. We created bonds, shared laughs and lived unforgettable moments together.We returned home with full hearts, with memories that will last forever. Without a doubt, a trip to repeat!

Marcia Centeio

Fantastic experience, where we had the opportunity to get to know places like Bogotá, Cali, Salento and Medellín in depth, which was only possible thanks to the work, commitment and familiarity with the places on the part of Alejandra and André.

Miguel Bolito

It was an incredible experience that we dared to seek out because we felt accompanied by someone who knew the country's customs. Tripidea had everything super organized and there were no flaws in the organization. Colombia is a country with beautiful landscapes, a country with its own soul! I highly recommend it and I want to go back there!

Graça Caine

I loved the trip to Colombia! I have a habit of travelling whenever I can, and I'm lucky enough to have been to the five continents, but I've never been to Colombia. From the moment I arrived in Bogotá where I had a VIP reception until the moment I caught the plane back, I always felt in the best company. The group that went with me was fantastic, it seemed like they were handpicked. Without a doubt, I will return to Colombia, and without a doubt, this trip will be with Ale and André again.
Highly recommended.

Hugo Abreu

We are not used to travelling in groups and it was the best choice to travel with The Tripidea! Very organised trip full of surprises, everything thought out in detail so that we can experience Colombian culture to the fullest. We loved every day of the trip and the day in Valle de Cocora was unforgettable, from the jeep trip, to the horseback ride through the valley to the wonderful trout lunch. A country not to be missed

Teresa Cainé & Marco Santos

Congratulations guys on the excellent idea you had. It was the best trip of my life! Lots of adventures, lots of experiences, lots of music, incredible people. I hope one day to return. Much success to you, which you deserve.

Rita Vieira

I hadn't had holidays since 2018, and anyone who knows me knows that I'm a bit against cold weather when it comes to planning my trips. With The Tripidea I decided to relax and leave everything in their hands, I didn't worry about anything, I didn't research anything, and it was simply unforgettable, so much so that I immediately wanted to book the next one. Congratulations on your first anniversary and we will certainly take more trips together.

Teresa Mestre

We loved our adventure with Tripidea, from being greeted at the airport by a 'chiva', to tasting coffee in the 'fincas cafeteras', and even visiting Comuna 13 with a local guide. Viva Colombia!!

Leonor Brigas & Nuno Esguelha

My beloved people, Ale and André, The Tripidea, the first year was great. Two great trips. We were the lucky ones for being on your first trip to this wonderful country of Colombia. We have thousands of stories to tell and we would like to congratulate you on this first year and may it be the first of many.

Leonel Ferreira

Great team! Thank you to the newlyweds who provided us with this magnificent opportunity! Thanks to all those I already knew and to those I got to know. New and good friendships! Undoubtedly a trip to remember later! Colombia is ours and always will be! You only live once.
