Experience Overview
Colombia tends to be an underrated travel destination, which just means there’s more untouched parts of this beautiful country for you to explore.
Colombia tends to be an underrated travel destination, which just means there’s more untouched parts of this beautiful country for you to explore. If you have two weeks to spare, there’s no better way to experience Colombia than to jump in with both feet and experience the national parks, beaches, village communities, and cities firsthand. Plus, there’s no better place to be if you’re looking to try delicacies such as fresh seafood on the beaches of Cartagena and delicious coffee from the region of Calarcá. Be a part of the revitalization of this warm, welcoming country and come back with more stories than you’ll ever have time to tell.

- Learn how coffee is made in Armenia
- Hike to a remote beach in Tayrona National Park

It was a wonderful experience! I learned so much about the Colombian culture, history, the people, education, the indigenous tribes that still exist, nature, birds, and so much more!

A great way to see the highlights of Colombia in a packed itinerary but with space to breathe, flying between destinations is a must to avoid long coach connections. Accomodation was good for the cost.

Brilliant. We had a great time, seen a lot, met good people, learned a lot. Juan really made it a brilliant experience and I learned so much too from him. I don’t mean that as criticism of Hugo as he did his job and we had good experiences too, but Juan ...

We had a very nice experience traveling about Colombia, learning about the country and its inhabitants. But be extra careful on the commuter trains, as my phone got pickpocketed halfway through the trip.

While the trip did not proceed exactly as planned, it was at times challenging and always mentally stimulating. I recommend including the fish from sea-plate as a new (optional?) activities in Taganga. This was Hugo's initiative and we all loved this...

The first week was ok, the second had too much time. The stay with the indegene was strange. Too much time .. more hanging around at the second week.

Colombia is a country with great potential to become a great travel destination. I am confident that growing tourism can and will contribute to politically stabilizing Colombia and improving the living conditions of the general population.
