This is what your Colombia journey could look like – on the road with our small-group tour.
From colonial cities and coffee farms in the Andes to Caribbean sunsets, Colombia moves to its own rhythm – and quickly captures the hearts of travelers.
If you can picture yourself hiking through dense jungle, wandering cobblestone streets, tasting freshly roasted coffee by hand, and soaking in a Caribbean sunset from a sailboat – then this might be your dream trip. Our two-week tour “Culture, Coffee & Caribbean” takes you across Colombia, revealing the soul of a country more colorful and diverse than you can imagine.
From the Capital to the Heart of the Andes
We begin in Bogotá, a vibrant, creative city with surprising cultural depth. On our first evening, we break the ice with a traditional game of Tejo – beer, music, and empanadas set the tone for a lively group vibe.
The next day, we explore the artist district Usaquén and the historic heart La Candelaria, including the Gold Museum and the Botero collection. One of the highlights: the underground Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá, followed by a private dinner event where a local chef introduces us to the flavors of Colombian cuisine.
Coffee Aroma & Mystical Statues in San Agustín
A short flight takes us south to San Agustín, nestled between volcanoes and coffee plantations. Here, we dive into the full coffee-making process – from plant to perfect cup. The archaeological sites of San Agustín, a UNESCO World Heritage site, give us a glimpse into an almost-lost civilization.
You’ll also have a free day to choose your own adventure: horseback riding, rafting, or a hands-on cooking class on a local farm – experience and excitement guaranteed!
Indigenous Traditions & Salsa in Cali
Popayán enchants with colonial charm and a culinary scene that’s second to none. During a street food tour, we sample UNESCO-recognized dishes. On the way to Cali, we stop in Silvia to visit the Guambiano Indigenous community – a quiet, deeply moving moment on our journey. In Cali, it’s time to turn up the volume: ready for a salsa lesson? Or would you prefer a relaxed evening walk through the city? Either way – it's your night.
Caribbean Vibes & Colonial Gems
In Santa Marta, we arrive at the Caribbean coast. A sunset sailing trip and a hike in Tayrona National Park, with its rainforest trails and dreamlike beaches, give you time to breathe and soak it all in.
Cartagena is the grand finale: colorful colonial facades, vibrant street music, and the trendy district Getsemaní. A canoe tour through the mangroves of La Boquilla reveals a different, more authentic side of the coast – close to nature and far from the crowds.
