STUNNING NATURE TRAILS, FORESTS AND MOUNTAINS
Perched high in the mountains near San Agustin, Akawanka Lodge is surrounded by stunning views and spectacular glimpses back through time over hundreds of years.
A rocking chair on a wooden deck, overlooking beautiful natural gardens. A simply furnished yet supremely comfortable bedroom. A restaurant serving home cooked dishes prepared using produce from the lodge’s own gardens and orchard. Akawanka Lodge is not what you would call swanky, but it is a wonderful place to stay.
Especially if, on your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Colombia, you want to be able to explore the countryside, absorb the local lifestyle and take a step back into the ancient history of this fascinating country. At Akawanka you’re a 10 minute drive from a principal archaeological park, with no less than eight prime archaeological sites within a few kilometres. You’re also surrounded by stunning nature trails, forests and mountains – just made for exploring by mountain bike.

We had a wonderful safari experience in South Luangwa, Zambia this September. Despite a few unexpected setbacks behind the scenes, everything ran seamlessly for us. Our driver and guide were outstanding, and the standard of accommodation was truly first class.
The destinations were fabulous, but what really stood out was the care and patience Tania showed as she guided me and my sister through every question and hesitation. Nothing felt rushed or too much trouble. The result? A truly wonderful holiday. Thank you.
