Places to Visit in Colombia
There is an abundance of places to visit in Colombia, and all can be explored on one of our full Colombia tour packages. Colombia features breathtaking landscapes, historical monuments, tropical environments, lush forests, and vibrant locals. The best beaches are along the Caribbean coast near Cartagena. Cartagena, founded in the 16th century as a key port town to the Spanish Empire, boasts historic streets and crystal-blue waters. The old original townhouses, forts, and shops of the colonial past still decorate the streets.
What better way to tour Colombia than to excite your taste buds? We encourage travelers to taste their way through coffee plantations, where one can learn about the Colombian coffee bean cultivation process in the Andean highlands. For an introduction into Colombia’s vibrant culture, head to the capital of Bogota. Witness the day-to-day lives of Colombians, while visiting major sites like the Gold Museum and Natural History Museum. Or explore the streets to see some of South America’s most famous street art. And for some pleasant relaxation, head to Medellin, better known as the City of Eternal Spring for its year-round pleasant weather.
Cartagena Tours
Cartagena, one of South America’s best-preserved and most beautiful colonial cities is a must-see on any trip to Colombia. We highly recommend staying in a boutique hotel in the walled city for the best experience. Aside from the city itself, a Cartagena trip is a great base for exploring along the Caribbean coast.
Bogota Tours
A blend of the old and new, Bogota can be a bustling place at times, but with the help of an expert guide, it is well worth spending some time here; or take advice from the locals. To start your Colombia trip, explore the many things to do in Bogota. The country offers activities for foodies, hikers, and history buffs. Colombia vacation packages in Bogota feature taking a cable car ride up Monserrate for panoramic views of the capital and visiting the world-renowned Gold Museum.
Colombia Coffee Region Tours
For a unique and flavorful experience, a tour through the Colombia Coffee Region is a must. Located high in the Andes mountain range, the Colombia Coffee Region, also known as Triángulo del Café, is an incredibly scenic and lush environment. In addition to learning about and tasting the beloved Colombian coffee bean, visitors to this region can enjoy hiking in surreal mountain valleys hosting the world’s tallest palm trees.
San Agustin Archaeological Park
In Colombia’s south, San Agustin is a small town surrounded by interesting archaeological sites including stone statues and tombs. The scenery here is beautiful with waterfalls and lush, rolling hills.
Medellin Tours
For a blast of color, a visit to Medellin during the annual flower festival is a must on a trip to Colombia. Popularly referred to as the “City of Eternal Spring” the streets of Medellin are filled with massive flower pieces, musicians, and dancers as they celebrate this prized festival. While in Medellin, you should also visit the Botero Museum, take the metro cable for a bird’s-eye view of the city, and explore some of the colonial towns in the surrounding countryside.
