Events and Parties
Lose yourself to the local music and environment, VAOVA style.

We are experts at organizing unmatched events and parties in the most magical places, from remote islands and classic estates, to high-quality event venues. We love to merge the traveler’s experience with the local culture of our destinations and we want to help you unplug from the uniformity of everyday life so you can dive into incredible spots and connect with friends and family.

Community, Culture and Gastronomy
Find inspiration in the stories that the local communities
want to share with you.

We want you to discover every destination through its flavors, music, customs, and the inspiring stories of its people. We create spaces where you can interact with locals, so you can see for yourself the diverse realities of our country.

Nature & Adventure
Recharge your batteries, enjoy outdoor
activities, and go beyond your limits.

Take some time off your routine to experience the wonders of nature. We offer experiences where you can find peace and quiet, but we can also set up challenges in natural settings filled with adrenaline. The extensive biodiversity of our destinations gives you the chance to explore many kinds of adventures.

Real-World Learning
We bring you closer to the main transformation
processes in the country.

In alliance with universities, non-profit organizations, and innovation agencies, we organize events that will allow you to understand the visited country’s current political situation, through different and sometimes contrasting perspectives.

Our destinations
Bogotá
Bogotá is an urban heart that beats to the rhythm of multiculturalism and almost 500 years of history run through its veins. Between an array of verdant hills to the east and a sequence of burgundy sunsets to the west, Bogotá conceals more than 8 million stories, linked by an urban layout in which living in the name of hope is still permitted. Known as a cultural capital in the region, Bogotá offers an exquisite variety of art, theatre, gastronomy, and dancing for all preferences, ranging from salsa and reggaeton to cumbia and electronic music.

Medellín
After suffering the hardships of violence in the 80s and 90s, Medellín is now witnesses to the enormous potential for social transformation that resides in art and urban design. The artistry and resolution that Medellín used to respond to the difficult juncture earned it the award for the most innovative city in the world in 2012. Its mild climate all year round, together with the comradeship and the sharp sense of humour that locals are known for, makes Medellín an urban nirvana that breathes vibes, rumba, and bliss.

There’s no doubt Cartagena is the real deal of Colombia’s Caribbean region. Its beautiful historic center, the flavors and colors of its African heritage and some of the best restaurants and nightclubs in the country, make it the perfect destination for those seeking to dive into Colombia’s Caribbean.

A conscious, disruptive, and sustainable way of traveling

At VAOVA, we understand sustainability as the practices that frame and make possible our vision of articulating the different players of the industry around ‘building the country’ and in particular, through our heart and work philosophy: the ‘happenings’.

We work closely with local communities, business leaders, and more than 200 artists in the different activities from our portfolio. We work directly with them, rather than promoting third-party practices that endanger local communities and the touristic activity itself. Not only do we enable a positive impact on their welfare, but we also create opportunities to share their stories and culture to reassert their place in society. We also connect with vendors that have sustainable policies and practices, and that share with us a similar vision of our destinations.

Paloquemao Market
The Bogotá Downtown City Tour includes a stop at the Paloquemao market where our travelers tastes fruits from Mrs. Marina and natural juices from Jugos Doña Vero. In both tastings we use ecological plates and cups.
Gifts
Our collaboration with Color Cacao gives a new opportunity to Colombian farmers who have replaced their coca leaf production (for drug purposes) for Cocoa (chocolate) plantations.

Is an initiative that brings together more than 200 women from Comuna 13, victims of armed conflict. Through different projects such as solidarity gardens, a restaurant and a solidarity shop, seek the transformation of their community through social and economic empowerment .

Iniciatives aimed to reducing plastic, giving recyclable materials a second use, taking care of the fragile ecosystems that we visit and working with responsible brands.
Cremas de la 13
The stop in commune 13 includes a mango biche popsicle of Cremas de la 13. An enterprise that a few years ago was dedicated to selling this family recipe and today, thanks to tourism, it is main livelihood.
