Bogot?: An Immersion into Colombia: From soaring Andean peaks and the vibrant capital of Bogot? to the unspoiled Caribbean coast, Colombia?s beating heart pushes you to step out of your comfort zone. As you make your way to the city centre, scan the streets lined with colourful buildings awash with eye-catching art, and absorb the unique mix of history and modernity here. We welcome you to Colombia, and we invite you to open yourself up to curiosity as you traverse this country?s diverse lands filled with natural beauty and friendly people.
Bogot?: Coffee, Living History and Art: The clouds that typically engulf Colombia?s mountainous Caldas province offer wet conditions and cold nights that have proven to be the perfect climate for coffee plants to thrive. Search for hints of distinctive flavours as you sip various kinds of beans and roasts. You?ll be able to walk off that coffee buzz on a tour of the historic centre of the city, featuring splendid views and a mix of old and new along its streets.
Medell?n: The City of Eternal Spring: Shrouded in myth, legend and a troubled history, Medell?n has moved beyond its negative stereotypes to become a hub of innovation and the arts, with a very lively food and nightlife scene. You'll discover the power of nature's tranquility as you hike the trails of this private reserve being operated by a local family working to protect the area for more than 150 years.
Medell?n: Bicycle Exploration and Culinary Traditions: Colombia consistently produces world-class professional cycling athletes and you may well see them riding the hills of Medell?n over your time here. A great way to discover any city, you'll mount an e-bike and pedal past tree-lined parks and vibrant neighbourhoods, stopping at some of the highlights and hidden gems along the way. Embark on a culinary journey as you dive into a traditional lunch that celebrates the variety and history of paisa cuisine, then discover another neighborhood of Medell?n that showcases its innovation, art and city planning.
Guatap?: Your OMG Day: Los Saltos Ecoparque is in Colombia?s largest area of waterfalls and features one of the highest in the country. Your adventure begins here with a hike to the base of those very falls where you can then choose between two great adventure activities within the park: flying on a zipline in one of the highest canopies in the world, or climbing a cliff face next to a waterfall in Via Ferrata. With flowing rivers, native forests, and traditional crops like avocado and banana, this eco-park is a great place to connect with nature and immerse yourself in the beauty and biodiversity of the country.
Guatap?: El Pe?ol Rock and Local Charm: Located in the northwest part of the country, Guatap? boasts houses painted in every colour adorned with paintings of plants and animals. Sitting on the shores of the man-made lake and reservoir, Guatap? is also close to the climbable granite stone known as El Pe?ol Rock. You?ll climb to the top along the brick staircase rising up through a fissure in the side of the stone, and be rewarded with magnificent views of the green mountains in the distance and the fingers of the blue lake.
Cartagena: Today your adventure comes to an end, but the memories made during your time in Colombia are sure to live on.
