Mayra arranged an amazing trip to Patagonia for us. She arranged all the hotels, transfers and guides. Everyone treated us wonderfully. There were no mistakes at all on our 14 day trip that included both Chile and Argentina. The only thing that would have been better is if Mayra was our guide, but sadly we booked the trip to late. Great company!

DETAILED ITINERARY
Welcome !!
Upon arrival in Bogotá, our team will greet you at the airport and transfer you comfortably to your hotel, allowing you to settle into the rhythm of the city after your journey.
Surrounded by the Andes Mountains, Bogotá is a city of contrasts — where colonial history, contemporary culture, vibrant neighborhoods, and mountain landscapes come together to create the perfect introduction to Colombia.
Take the rest of the day to rest, explore nearby cafés, or simply begin soaking in the atmosphere of the Colombian capital.
Meals Included: -
Overnight: Bogotá Hotel
Today you’ll discover the cultural and historical heart of Colombia through the vibrant streets of Bogotá.
Your experience begins with a visit to Monserrate, one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Rising high above the capital in the eastern Andes, this mountaintop sanctuary offers sweeping views over Bogotá and a first glimpse into the scale and energy of the city below.
From there, the journey continues into La Candelaria, Bogotá’s historic center, where colorful colonial buildings, cobblestone streets, hidden plazas, and local cafés reflect centuries of history and cultural transformation.
As you walk through the neighborhood, you’ll visit the Botero Museum, home to works by Fernando Botero, Colombia’s most celebrated contemporary artist, alongside pieces from renowned international masters.

Tips.
Yes. Colombia has become one of South America's most exciting and rewarding destinations. The regions included in our journeys are welcoming, well-traveled, and accustomed to international visitors. As with any destination, we recommend taking normal precautions and following local advice, but most travelers are pleasantly surprised by how friendly and welcoming Colombia feels.
Colombia is a year-round destination. Thanks to its diverse geography, the weather varies by region rather than by season. Whether you're exploring the Coffee Region, the Caribbean coast, the Andes, or the Amazon, there is always somewhere wonderful to visit.
Colombia’s climate is as diverse as its landscape and wildlife. It depends on the city or region you are visiting and the time of year. Due to its proximity to the equator, much of Colombia experiences tropical weather patterns. Cities or regions at a higher elevation, such as Bogotá and the mountain towns outside Medellín, can be quite cool and rainy.
For this reason, we recommend that travelers come prepared for a wide range of weather conditions. Expect everything from the cold, rainy highlands of the Andes Mountains (like Bogotá and its surroundings) to the hot, humid Caribbean coast. Regions of Colombia have different rainy and dry seasons. These seasons are less pronounced than in temperate countries and are influenced by irregular weather patterns, such as El Niño and La Niña. In conclusion, the weather is hard to predict, so be prepared for anything.
Caribbean Coast:
The temperatures range from 22°C to 36°C (73°F to 97°F) on the Caribbean Coast all year round. There are three main seasons in the Caribbean Coast.
Dry Season: December – April
Mid-Rain Season: May – August
Rainy Season: October & November
Andean Region (Medellin & Bogota):
The temperature is stable in this region throughout the year, though it can vary depending on the altitude. The higher, the colder. Most months are also the same, in terms of rain, though April, May, October and November tend to experience the most rain, and it is expected to see sunny days in Bogota in December – January. Temperature in Medellin is quite balanced, ranging between 14°C to 30°C (57°F to 86°F). In Bogotá, it can get as low as 5°C (40°F) on a cold night, and 20°C (68°F) on a sunny day. This is why it is called “the city of the eternal spring”.
Colombia offers an incredible variety of experiences. Discover colorful colonial cities, world-famous coffee landscapes, Caribbean beaches, vibrant culture, extraordinary wildlife, the Amazon rainforest, and some of the warmest people in South America. Cartagena, Medellín, the Coffee Region, Tayrona National Park, and the Amazon are among the country's most iconic destinations
We generally recommend between 8 and 14 days to experience Colombia comfortably. This allows enough time to combine different regions and discover the country's remarkable diversity. Travelers with more time can explore lesser-known destinations and enjoy a deeper connection with local culture and nature.
Colombia combines vibrant culture, exceptional biodiversity, Caribbean charm, colorful towns, world-class coffee, and welcoming hospitality in a way few countries can. Every region feels different, offering new landscapes, traditions, flavors, and experiences.
Absolutely. Every traveler is different, and many of our guests choose to personalize their itinerary. Whether you would like to spend more time in the Coffee Region, add wildlife experiences, visit the Amazon, or explore destinations beyond our featured journeys, we can design a tailor-made experience around your interests.
Most of our journeys combine culture, nature, and light outdoor activities. Depending on the itinerary, you may enjoy walking tours, nature excursions, coffee experiences, wildlife activities, or short hikes. Detailed activity information is provided for each itinerary.
Colombia's landscapes range from tropical coastlines and rainforests to cool mountain regions. We generally recommend comfortable walking shoes, lightweight clothing, a light jacket, sun protection, and layers for cooler evenings in the Andes. We'll provide detailed packing recommendations before your trip.
Many nationalities can enter Colombia without a visa for tourism purposes. Entry requirements vary depending on your nationality, so we recommend checking the latest regulations before traveling. Your passport should generally be valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates.
Definitely. Colombia offers an excellent combination of culture, wildlife, beaches, nature, and outdoor experiences suitable for travelers of all ages. Many of our journeys can be adapted for families, couples, or multi-generational groups.
Most cities, towns, and major tourist destinations offer reliable internet and mobile coverage. In more remote regions, particularly in parts of the Amazon and wildlife areas, connectivity may be limited, providing a wonderful opportunity to disconnect and fully immerse yourself in nature.
We believe the best journeys go beyond the highlights. Our experiences are carefully designed to combine authentic local encounters, unique accommodations, beautiful landscapes, and meaningful cultural experiences. Whether you're looking for wildlife, gastronomy, nature, culture, or a little bit of everything, we'll help you discover the Colombia that best matches your interests.
