Took an amazing trip with a group of friends to Medellin and Cartagena Colombia. Loved having Chaz and his team handle all the details while we immersed ourselves in the cities and music .

What an awesome trip with Musical Getaways! We did a trip that included the Petronio Alverez music festival in Colombia. I have had the festival on my radar for several years but I was not sure how to organize a trip that included the festival. I am so glad I reached out to Chaz and the team at Musical Getaways.
