Who we are

An agency born
from the territory

with purpose, roots, and rights

Con Derecho a Viajar was born in Bahía Solano with one clear conviction: the Colombian Pacific has enormous potential, and tourism can be a real development tool for the communities that call it home.

"We believe everyone, at some point, should discover the Pacific — not as a passing tourist, but from the inside, from what it truly is. A territory of biodiversity, of ancestral knowledge, of communities whose wisdom deserves to be recognized and valued."

— Carolina, Co-founder

Founded in 2025 by Carolina — a human rights lawyer — the agency is committed to tourism that doesn't just visit, but transforms: the traveler, the community, and the territory.

Today we are joined by Laura, our scientific advisor, who brings the biodiversity and conservation perspective that makes every experience an authentic encounter with the nature of the Pacific.

A one-of-a-kind experience that connected me with nature and science. I never imagined I'd get to see whales up close while learning about their conservation. Highly recommended!

Taking part in the sea turtle release was absolutely unforgettable. Seeing how the community works to protect these species — and how tourism can be a real conservation tool — is truly inspiring.
