Colombia Trip
From the Caribbean to the Andes – tailor-made and deeply personal
Experience Colombia in all its richness
Colombia is a destination for curious minds. A country of contrasts, stretching from the Caribbean coast to the coffee region, from the Amazon to the highlands of the Andes. It’s not just about places – it’s about moments, people and perspectives. Whether you’re drawn to colonial cities, raw nature or vibrant street life, Colombia invites you to explore beyond the obvious.
A Colombia tour can be bold and adventurous, or calm and immersive. It can be structured as a classic loop or as a private Colombia trip with exclusive lodges and local guides. You can hike through misty valleys, taste fresh coffee on a family-run finca or drift down Amazonian rivers at sunrise.

Highlights & experiences in Colombia
Experiencing Colombia means discovering diversity – in nature, in culture, and in encounters along the way.
Bogotá & street art in La Candelaria
Bogotá is a capital full of contrasts. In the historic district of La Candelaria, colonial architecture blends with bold murals and political street art. Guided tours often lead beyond the surface – offering context and stories directly from the artists. Museums, food markets and viewpoints like Monserrate add further layers to the experience. For many travellers, Bogotá is the starting point of their Colombia trip, but it’s also a city worth slowing down for.
The Amazon & indigenous cultures
Travelling to the Amazon in Colombia means stepping into a different world. Around the town of Leticia, nature sets the pace – from boat rides at dawn to night walks in the rainforest. Encounters with local communities offer rare insights into a way of life that feels far from modern routine. This region often becomes a deeply moving part of a private Colombia tour. It’s ideal for seasoned travellers who want to go beyond the familiar and discover a side of Colombia that few ever see.
Cartagena & the Caribbean coast
Cartagena is one of the cultural highlights of any Colombia tour. The early morning light brings out the colours of its colonial buildings and the charm of its quiet plazas. Beyond the city, the Caribbean unfolds with fishing villages, white-sand beaches and lush coastal nature. Tayrona National Park offers a wild contrast to the elegance of Cartagena – ideal for travellers who want to combine history, relaxation and natural beauty within a single Colombia trip.
The coffee region & Cocora Valley
Lush hills, misty forests and the tallest palm trees in the world – Colombia’s coffee region is a place of quiet beauty. Many of our tailor-made Colombia tours include a stay on a traditional finca, where guests learn about coffee cultivation and explore the area on foot or horseback. The Cocora Valley is perfect for gentle hikes and offers sweeping views of the landscape. A rewarding stop for anyone seeking nature, authenticity and local flavour during their Colombia vacation.
Medellín
Once known for its troubled past, Medellín is now a symbol of transformation. The city has reinvented itself through innovation, art and social projects that connect people and places. Riding the cable car to the hillside neighbourhoods or walking through the vibrant Comuna 13 reveals a very different Colombia – one that’s forward-looking and alive with creativity. Including Medellín in a tailor-made Colombia tour adds a powerful and unexpected dimension to your journey.
Best time to visit Colombia
Colombia is a year-round destination with no classic seasons. Instead, altitude and region determine the weather. The dry months from December to March and in July and August are generally ideal for a Colombia tour – especially along the Caribbean coast, in the coffee region and around Bogotá.
If you're planning to explore the Amazon or go hiking in the Andes, the dry season is also the best choice. During the wetter months, travel is still possible but requires more planning. We tailor each Colombia itinerary to match your preferred travel time – so the climate aligns with your route and travel style.
