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
