What's this trip about?

    Welcome to Colombia for the experience of a lifetime! Ten million make their home in vibrant, exciting, and sprawling Bogotá. The energy of this metropolitan hub of Colombia is fuelled in part by the diversity of its people from all regions of the country. There is energy rarely found anywhere. The city's cultural epicenter is La Candelaria, the cobbled historic downtown. Here, a potpourri of thoughtfully preserved colonial buildings is home to museums, restaurants, hotels, and bars, amid centuries-old houses, churches, and monasteries. The abundance of Colombia is manifested in the Eje Cafetero (Coffee Axis) with countless parks, botanical gardens, hot springs, and even snow-capped mountains. Travel through towns such as Santuario, Quimbaya, Montenegro, Aguadas, and Pijao and you will want to prolong your stay. Coffee abounds in this region. The warmth,simplicity, and nobility of its people can be found in every street. Cartagena is an unmissable city to visit and without a doubt Colombia's most popular. Thanks not only to its colonial roots but also to beautiful beaches, tantalizing cuisine, and raucous nightlife. The Taironaka Reserve is an archaeological and ecological paradise where lie the remains of a Tayrona city over 1,000 years old. In the midst of colossal trees, a mild climate, and abundant fauna, Taironaka is an idyllic place where the sound of water, jungle, and the song of the birds make it the perfect place to uncoil.
