What's this trip about?

    Cartagena de Indias brings together the charm of colonial architecture, the excitement of expressive nightlife, fascinating cultural festivals, and verdant landscapes. Beaches beckon, inviting you to unwind and enjoy yourself in the refreshing breezes and warm waters of the Caribbean. This fabulous destination holds the secrets of history within its walled city and in the narrow stone streets. Framed by its stunning bay, Cartagena de Indias is one of the most beautiful, well-preserved cities in the Americas; a treasure that is now one of the most frequented destinations in Colombia. Tayrona Park is a magical place where you can find the most beautiful beaches in Colombia if not all of South America. Cabo San Juan is the most emblematic of them in the park, with golden sand and ancestral volcanic rocks dotted about. This beach is divided into two small bays and is superb. It is the hallmark of Tayrona Park, where it is just glorious to swim in a celestial setting. What Machu Picchu is to Peru, the Lost City is to Colombia. Ciudad Perdida (Lost City) is an ancient city and sacred site of the Tayrona Civilization. Once it encompassed the entire Caribbean coastal plain of Colombia, extending to the highest coastal mountain anywhere, the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta. The Tairona people maintained a flourishing society in times before the Spanish invasion. They were an advanced civilization that lived in stone structures in the jungle. Their descendants, the Kogui people, have inhabited the same mountain area, where they have been able to maintain their traditional way of life. The Taironaka Reserve is an archaeological site that has preserved artifacts from this pre- Columbian culture. Here you can see original stone terraces, walkways, drainage systems, and ancient mountain pathways.
