TOP ATTRACTIONS
Cartagena
Cartagena is Colombia’s crown jewel, a city of colourful colonial architecture, historic fortresses, and lively plazas, all set against the backdrop of the Caribbean Sea. Lose yourself in the cobblestone streets of the walled city, soak up the sun on the nearby Rosario Islands, or enjoy a sunset cocktail overlooking the ocean. Cartagena is where history meets tropical paradise.
Bogotá
Colombia’s capital is a dynamic metropolis where tradition and modernity coexist. Explore the La Candelariadistrict with its colonial charm, visit the Gold Museum to uncover the country’s indigenous past, or take a cable car ride up to Monserrate for panoramic views of the city. Bogotá’s vibrant food scene and world-class museums make it an essential stop on any Colombian journey.
Coffee Region
Nestled in the rolling green hills of the Coffee Triangle, this region is a haven for coffee lovers and nature enthusiasts. Visit traditional fincas (coffee farms) to learn about the coffee-making process, sip on the world’s finest brews, and explore the Cocora Valley, home to Colombia’s iconic towering wax palms.
Medellín
Once known for its turbulent past, Medellín has transformed into one of South America’s most innovative cities. With a mild climate year-round, modern infrastructure, and a thriving arts scene, it’s no wonder it’s called the City of Eternal Spring. Ride the Metrocable for stunning city views, visit the Comuna 13 district to experience its vibrant street art, or simply enjoy the city’s dynamic energy.
Tayrona National Park
One of Colombia’s most stunning natural wonders, Tayrona National Park offers a mix of pristine beaches, lush jungle, and indigenous heritage.

This is Colombia’s Caribbean paradise, untouched and unforgettable.
The Amazon
For those seeking true adventure, Colombia’s slice of the Amazon Rainforest offers a biodiverse paradise unlike anywhere else. Spot pink river dolphins, visit indigenous communities, and embark on night safaris through the dense jungle. A visit to Leticia, the gateway to the Amazon, is the perfect starting point for a once-in-a-lifetime expedition.
