Shout out from Pirry
“Approaching the summit of the Nevado del Tolima volcano, another treasure of this beautiful land, if you're tempted to climb this mighty mountain, I recommend LOCOMBIA and the guide Daniel Templeton. Daniel is a young guide with great energy. On their page, you’ll find spectacular photos of this #SpectacularTolima.” - @PirryOficial
Additionally to his mention, Pirry has joined us on a couple of occasions canyoning and discovering Ibague. See here
Our Spirit
Are we a bit loco?
Perhaps. But that's part of our spirit.
Locombia is a playful take on Colombia, our megadiverse country we proudly invite you to explore.
“Loco” reflects our passion, energy, and the way we perceive the world—with curiosity, enthusiasm, and a touch of adventure.
But it goes deeper than that. Our name is also inspired by Locomboo, the god of time and space revered by the Dulima Indigenous people, ancestral inhabitants of the Nevado del Tolima region. Like them, we seek to honor the land, respect its history, and share it with the world in a way that helps preserve its beauty.
Our Purpose
To inspire...
Inspire you to step into the wild, connect with nature, and embrace the unknown.
Through carefully crafted outdoor experiences, we guide you through the thrill of adventure alongside our expert team while fostering a deeper environmental awareness.
Whether you're summiting a tropical glacier, descending into a canyon, trekking through Colombia's rich ecosystems, or immersing yourself with a remote community, we promote ecotourism and mountain sports responsibly and professionally—creating positive impacts on the communities we visit.
