Felipe
Felipe Cadena, Commercial Leader at Impulse Travel, is driven by a deep sense of empathy and a passion for creating a more equitable and sustainable world. Growing up in Bogotá, he developed a fascination for how different cultures can intersect and find common ground, a curiosity that sparked at the age of 14 when he attended a summer camp abroad. Since then, Felipe has been captivated by the power of travel to bring people together, and his journey into the tourism industry felt like a natural fit.
Felipe’s work at Impulse Travel is driven by a desire to make a positive impact on Colombia’s communities. He plays a key role in developing transformative travel experiences that introduce visitors to leaders of local initiatives like the Canoe Trip in the Mangroves and the Afro Tour in Medellín, where travelers gain a deeper understanding of Colombia’s social and cultural diversity. His dedication to promoting sustainable and community-based tourism stems from his commitment to the country’s development, ensuring that travel creates a positive ripple effect in the regions it touches.
Although Felipe is dedicated to his work, he believes in the importance of balance. Whether it’s playing volleyball, enjoying concerts and festivals, or cheering on his favorite football team, Santa Fe de Bogotá, he knows how to unwind and recharge. A lover of Bandeja Paisa, Felipe can’t resist the perfect mix of flavors in this Colombian dish, especially when paired with a spicy sauce.
Felipe has been a pivotal force behind the design and development of our Let’s Eat Colombia – Cartagena & Medellín tour, working closely with us to create an itinerary that highlights the rich culture and culinary traditions of both cities. His expertise and passion for creating authentic and impactful experiences shine through every aspect of the tour.
With a personal philosophy of “chase your dreams without stepping over someone or something,” Felipe embodies the values of collaboration, respect, and social impact that drive the success of Impulse Travel.
