Itinerary
Day 1: Good Vibes & Good Times at a Tropical Coastal Town
Our tour to Colombia starts in the Caribbean town of Santa Marta. Although there are some relics of historic architecture, Santa Marta is best used as a base from which to make a daytrip to Tayrona National Park. At least on the weekends, Santa Marta boasts a very ...
Day 2: The Country’s Most Beautiful Sands & Shore Reached by Horse
Before relocating by land to the colonial city of Cartagena, we make a daytrip from Santa Marta to Tayrona National Park. Upon arrival, we go on a horseback ride to reach what is considered the prettiest beach in all of Colombia. After walking to a viewpoint and swimming, we take a boat ride along the scenic coast to return to Santa Marta.
Day 3: Dipping in an Active Mud Dome & Caribbean Culture
Our day starts with a daytrip to El Totumo Volcano. There we dip inside its mud pool and are then scrubbed by an experienced local. After being washed down, we return to Cartagena and explore. Characterized by beautiful balconies, rich architecture, stone-paved alleyways, charming cafes and romantic restaurants, Cartagena is undoubtedly Colombia’s showcase destination.
Day 4: An Architecturally Impressive Place to See
We spend the day exploring Cartagena. This UNESCO-designated city grows on us rather quickly: cheerful and colorful sites, ambiance, food, and a great nightlife scene. Its landmarks and colonial streets will enchant you.
If you have more time, con...
Day 5: The Scenic Landscape We All Dream About
We relocate by flight from Cartagena to the city of Pereira and immediately head to Cocora Valley. There we find the most stunning mountainous landscape the country has to offer. There we also have the opportunity to take photos with artistic objects (flower displa...
Day 6: Natural Warm Pools, Waterfalls & Historic Villages
There is a lot to see before relocating by flight from Pereira to the city of Bogota. Our morning starts with a visit to a coffee plantation. There we are provided with a guided tour followed by samplings of some of the region’s best coffees. We are then taken to t...
Day 7: A Church Built within the Tunnels of a Salt Mine & Colorful Cobblestone Streets
We make a daytrip from Bogota first to the colonial town of Villa de Leyva and then to the Salt Cathedral. Along with Barichara (which is relatively far away from the country’s highlights), Villa de Leyva is the prettiest of Colombia’s small historic towns. It is b...
Day 8: The Nation’s Version of Beverly Hills as well as a Charming Main Square
We spend the day checking out the capital of Colombia. Highlights include a viewpoint called Montserrat, the Gold Museum and the Cathedral. Nonetheless, Bogota’s historic attractions are not its greatest draw. The city features relatively wealthy neighborhoods, com...
Day 9: A Church Built within the Tunnels of a Salt Mine & Colorful Cobblestone Streets
We relocate by flight from Bogota to the city of Medellin and immediately start exploring. We take a cable car ride to a popular lookout point. We also visit the downtown area, home to churches, parks, street stalls and some historic buildings featuring decorative i...
Day 10: Flightseeing Over a Landmark Giant Rock with Calm Seas All Around
We make a daytrip from Medellin to the colonial town of Guatape. First, we head to a nearby natural attraction known as Piedra del Peñol. There we take a flightseeing tour over this giant rock and the calm waters surrounding it. We then head back to town and are pr...
Day 11: Our Tour Ends Today
We will provide you with transportation to the airport in Medellin.
