Kokopeli is a mythological wandering figure which appears in the tradition of many Indian tribes
such as the Hopi the Waihukam and the Zoni in the south and western parts of north America.
According to myth, Kokopeli influenced fertility, fertility of the earth and the transition from
winter to spring. By tradition, Kokopeli used to go from village to village playing his flute and
bringing happiness and making everything flourish wherever he went. His appearance always
enriched the lives of those who came in contact with him.
Kokopeli, as he appears in our logo is a combination of the traditional Kokopeli together with
another wanderer, Snufkin, the lovable figure from T. Jensen’s books. This combination of the two
figures represents for us the enriching element of the travel experience. The spiral of
smoke which comes out of our Kokopeli’s pipe in the logo evolves into the route he walks.
The spiral, like life itself, is dynamic.
What does Kokopeli Experience mean?
Our progress in life is not a straight line that leaves the past behind, neither is it a circle which returns to the
starting point, but rather it is a spiral movement. Each experience or event in our life creates the movement, and
like in a spiral, we distance ourselves from what was in order to return to it from a different view point, a new
outlook, so that the spiral becomes our route through life.
Kokopeli was founded out of our passion for sharing the wonders of Barcelona and the Pyrenees Mountains. Our
dynamic and knowledge team will help you see the highlights and discover the hidden jewels of this rich tapestry
called the Pyrenees and Iberian Peninsula. Whether it is cycling, kayaking, canyoning in thermal waters or
longer trips trekking & 4x4 trips on off road tracks in the mountains we let you set the pace, showing you
the sights like an old friend. Our customized trips allow you to combine history, culture, nature and adventure
in the measures you want, making the trip an unforgettable experience.
Awaken the Nomad in You with the Kokopeli team!
Greetings from Kokopeli team
Dear fellow traveler and adventure seeker,
We are now taking a short but deep breath, looking back on
the very busy summer season of 2013 that recently ended. It
is with a feeling of great satisfaction that we contemplate the
number of new clients, as well as returning customers.
Our excursions to the Pyrenees and Portugal take you off
the wide roads and onto the narrow paths and hidden
corners, to the wild and beautiful scenery.
The unique Kokopeli trails are always tailored to suit the
character of the group.
We listen, we ask, we suggest and in the end we produce the
one special trip which includes almost everything –
transportation, guides, accommodation in special and
exciting places, meals to be remembered and the most
breathtaking views.
Those of you who have already experienced our tours know
that our reputation, which we hold very dear, is for
extremely well organized, interesting tours which are never
run-of-the-mill. Each and every one of our customers is a
V.I.P. in our eyes, and the service is in accordance with this
attitude.
We look forward to seeing you on one of our forthcoming
tours or adventures.
Guy Reifenberg and the team of
Kokopeli Experience.

From Our Fellow Travelers
“Kokopeli Experience
Rocks!”
Went on the tour with 30
people and turned up to be
the best tour I have ever
organized. The best was the
guide -he was so
knowledgeable and clear that
everyone was astonished and
asking me how did I get this
guide.
Alfiya, the organizer helped
control everything to
perfection and I mean it to
perfection. They had so much
patience when it comes to
balancing the times between
what people wanted and what
is scheduled and dealt with
that so professionally with an
exceptional customer service.
Thank you Kokopeli, will
definitely use your services
when back to Spain.

“Excellent Holiday”
I was happy to make acquaintance with
Guy during the special tour we had in
the Pyrenees Mountains.
In addition to the magnificent
landscape of the mountains all around
us with their many colors, the flowers
and plants, the waterfalls, rivers and
streams that accompanied us along the
route, I had the privilege of being
guided by Kokopeli.
I would like to remark on the
excellent, comprehensive explanations
Guy offered us – geology, botany,
chemistry, anthropology, economics,
art and history.
I was most impressed by the way he
handled the group - pleasant and
positive communication with the
members.
The good atmosphere contributed and
actually made the absolute enjoyment
of the trip possible for all the travelers
who took part and for that I thank
you.
I wish you all the best and continued
success.

“Jeep tour to the Spanish
Pyrenees with Kokopeli”
Our vacation was just
excellent, all the
hotels/guesthouses were the
most comfortable and inviting.
Our guide Tai kept everyone
enthralled with his stories
and facts, and even the
younger children listened
with fascination.
The feeling at the end was
that the Kokopeli people
really enjoy what they do,
love the Pyrenees area and
nature and their goal is for
you, the visitor to be exposed
to this beauty and tranquility
(if wanted also action packed)
and to enjoy it.
We would highly recommend
booking memories through
Kokopeli.
