Experience the Rhythms of Colombia Journeys designed by Tia Stephanie Tours
Ann Arbor, MI. Tia Stephanie Tours, a pioneer in the development of cultural music and dance journeys to Colombia, recently announced the addition of Rhythms of Colombia to their current offerings to the South American country. The new tour coincides with the nation’s latest tourism campaign, Colombia: Land of Sabrosura. In short, without a direct English translation, sabrosura can be described as positive vibrations and happiness which can be seen in the Colombian people. The influential music of Colombia will without question hit you with feelings of sabrosura.
Colombia’s vibrant and diverse music is largely responsible for the country’s appeal and distinctiveness. Music’s influence on travel and cultural understandings is the motive behind the initiative lead by ProColombia, the national tourism board.
“Music is more than a collection of sounds. For the people of Colombia, our diverse sounds communicate the stories of our culture and our people. Music and dance are essential to who we are and how we see the world”, says Vice President of Tourism, ProColombia, Julián Guerrero Orozco. “Through our latest tourism campaign and with the support of partners such as Tia Stephanie Tours, we want to welcome our international travelers and share Colombia’s story through our beautiful and inspiring rhythms with the world”, adds Orozco.
“Tia Stephanie Tours has been pioneering these Music and Dance tours and we are so excited that now even ProColombia believes that music is so important in the arena of travel and global understanding. It is one of the most important cultural expressions of Colombia,” says Founder & Owner of Tia Stephanie Tours, Stephanie Schneiderman. “The combined efforts between ProColombia and Tia Stephanie Tours will give participants the opportunity to enjoy a truly educational and engaging travel experience while gaining valuable insight into the most important expressions of Colombian culture,” Schneiderman adds.
Journeys handcrafted by Schneiderman, offer three opportunities this year for travelers to feel the lively beats of Colombia and discover the country’s culture, history, and people through sound:
- NEW! Rhythms of Colombia
- Petronio Alvarez Music Festival

From the marimba rhythms on the Pacific Coast, to the upbeat cumbia and vallenato rhythms of the Caribbean coast in Cartagena – From dance lessons in Cali where travelers from across the globe escape to dance with top instructors, to stops in Barranquilla, the hometown of international superstar Shakira, where the group will visit the Piez Descalzos Foundation that was established by the famed star. And, from dancing the night away under the tropical breezes and moonlit nights to attending music festivals such as the renowned Petronio Alvarez – each tour offers unique and unforgettable cultural experiences from coast to coast.
