Itinerary

1. Day 1: Good Vibes And 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 vibrant nightlife scene.
   • Performers in the main square entertain guests, and people walk the streets checking out local bands playing inside the restaurants.
   • We are scheduled to take a guided tour in the early evening.

3. Day 3: Dipping in an Active Mud Dome And 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.

4. Day 4: An Architecturally Impressive Place to See

   • 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, consider adding a day trip from Cartagena to the Rosario Islands.
   • Although there is not anything specific to see, spending the day snorkeling and going from tropical island to tropical island puts a smile on most people's faces.

5. 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.

   • We are then taken to a colonial town called Salento.
   • There we walk the historic streets and get views from attractive lookout points.

6. Day 6: Natural Warm Pools, Waterfalls And Historic Villages

   • There is a lot to see before relocating by flight from Pereira to the city of Medellin.

   • We take a cable car ride to visit the most popular lookout point.
   • We visit the downtown area, which is home to churches, parks, street stalls, and some historic buildings with decorative interiors.
   • We also head to what was once the most dangerous neighbourhood in Colombia, if not in the world.
   • Today, it is an area which symbolises peace.
   • It hosts several art galleries and a museum which displays objects or devices used during times of war.
   • Above this neighbourhood is a nice lookout point, reached by an escalator.

   • We make a daytrip from Bogota first to the colonial town of Villa de Leyva.

   • It is best explored on foot.
   • The Salt Cathedral is an underground Roman Catholic church built within the tunnels of a salt mine 200 meters underground in a halite mountain.
   • It is a tourist destination and a place of pilgrimage in the country.

    • 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.
