Overview & Highlights
Take in some of Colombia’s most striking natural scenery on this covid-conscious holiday, from the tranquil mountains of the coffee region to the tropical beaches of the Caribbean coast, with time included to allow you to visit the beautiful walled city of Cartagena.
Colombia is home to an astonishing array of natural highlights, which you’ll explore in depth on this covid-conscious journey. Beginning in the lush rolling hills of the coffee region, enjoy tranquil mountain walks and get a feel for the local way of life on a working coffee farm. Spot rare, colourful birds in the nearby Andean cloud forest, while crystalline waterfalls and thermal springs await in the highlands. It’s then a dramatic change of scenery as you fly to the sparkling bays and tropical jungles of Tayrona National Park on the Caribbean coast. Round off your journey with a stay just outside the beautiful walled city of Cartagena, perhaps Latin America’s most romantic and intriguing colonial centre.
Surrounded by nature and visiting fewer locations, you’ll have the chance to soak up the breathtaking scenery in peace and quiet, while staying entirely within your comfort zone.
