This adventure showcases all of the major cultural highlights of Colombia.
Beginning in Bogota, an area which rests amongst the emerald, mist-shrouded mountains, and contains cosmopolitan streets that are sure to delight. Take a walk through the colourful laneways of the city’s historic heart, La Candelaria. Boasting a wealth of cosy cafes and colonial churches, this is a neighbourhood full of surprises. For breathtaking views of this sprawling capital, head to the top of Montserrat where scenic mountain-top cafes offer an escape from the chilly Andean air.
Next up enjoy the perfect climate in magical Medellin, known as the ‘City of Eternal Spring’. Medellin has experienced a miraculous rebirth in recent years, and now brims with modernist architecture and proud locals. Museums, parks and the botanical gardens are good places to soak up the atmosphere of this charismatic city.
Another destination is Santa Marta, then enjoy seaside bliss away from the tourist crowds in the spectacular Tayrona National Park. Hike through the dramatic setting of rugged mountains, verdant rainforest and jagged rocks or swim at some of the most beautiful beaches in Colombia.
Wander around the walled Old Town, peeking inside its candy-coloured buildings and spying the shady courtyards hidden within. Get a bird’s-eye view from the top of Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas, or perhaps experience the therapeutic effects of a mud bath on a visit to a bubbling volcano. The nearby group of tiny coral islands and the stunning expanse of Playa Blanca (White Beach) reveal the hidden beauty of Colombia’s Caribbean coast.
