I can't put into words just how great this trip was. Andrea, our tour leader, was incredible in every way! The itinerary has the perfect balance of everything! Whether that's history/culture, nature/urban landscapes/small towns - there's something for everyone. We met absolutely fantastic people along the way, from local crafts/traders to other tour guides who are specialists in areas like Bogota and Tayrona park. Loved seeing just how resilient the people of Colombia are. I couldn't recommend this trip more!!

An amazing trip through a wonderful and fascinating country! Manu was an excellent leader and the group were all very friendly. I especially enjoyed the hikes, the sloths and monkeys, and learning more about the history of Colombia.

The Columbia trip was surprisingly more amazing then I expected. Cartegena was a colorful city that deserves arriving a couple days early for (stay in Getsemani- and have a pool available). The jungle hike and stay, as well as the charming city of Barichara were a nice mix. I only wish I knew about Medallin so I could have found a tour that included that. I loved the para-gliding I did over Chicamocha canyon. I will definitely visit Cartegena again. A festive Christmas.

This was my first Intrepid tour and in fact, my first solo tour - I normally travel with my sisters so I was a bit apprehensive initially. But the whole process with Intrepid from booking the tour and flights to the tour itself was seamless. The itinerary was perfect for my needs and really gave me a good feel of Colombia, and Manuela (our guide) was fantastic - I honestly can't fault her in any way and she was the one that made the trip so memorable. The food, accommodation and transport were also fantastic.

This was an incredible trip. Our guide, Rodrigo was amazing and so knowledgeable. He did a great job making she we saw everything and experienced the culture. I was unsure what to expect and was a bit nervous about heading to Columbia. I am so glad I went! I met some amazing people who helped make the trip memorable. I cannot believe the beauty of the country, from the gorgeous mountains in Barichara and Bogota, to the beautiful beaches at Tyrones National Park, and the lovely towns in between. I highly recommend this trip.

The adventures continued in this area of Columbia. Never a dull moment. Our group leader Andrea was a group source of information and went above and beyond by following up after answering our questions with additional articles that we could read if we were interested. Very informative. We learned an enormous amount about life in Columbia and we will return. The food was so yummy, and the Columbians were always kind and friendly, with many of them providing additions tips to add knowledge to our trip. Columbia should be on everyone's list. Hurry, before word gets out and it's overrun by tourist and cruise ships.

Columbia was a reminder that many/most countries, history can be complicated, but much can be learned so history doesn't repeat itself. Hungry for tourism, you are instantly welcomed with open arms and a sense a gratitude before you even have a chance to drop your pack. Go now!

Colombia was interesting and beautiful. Everywhere you are surrounded by mountains, but this also makes travel from one area to the next slow. So relax and enjoy the experience. We visited forests and learned about indigenous people of the past and present. Learned about past turmoil of the country and things that are improving. Our guide was friendly, energetic, and truly enjoyed sharing her country with visitors.

I would highly recommend Explore Colombia! The itinerary is great, with a nice mix of destinations (cities, beaches, mountains, small towns). You will learn the local culture and explore the nature around you.

We thoroughly enjoy doing short tours with small groups and this one was great. we love to meet people from all over the globe as we find it much more satisfying to share the experience with like minded people. Plus the added bonus of having a tour leader and local tour guides to share their knowledge and occasionally a fascinating story.

This was an excellent first trip to colombia. Range of urban, rural and mix of activities. Consider adding a day or two on front or back end to get better sense of Cartagena and Bogota. I went to Medellín at end.

This is an excellent tour if you want an overview of Columbia and its food, people, history and geography. I highly recommend this tour!

I would advise anyone participating in an Intrepid trip to carefully review the itinerary and type of tour. There were variances from the itinerary on my tour which caused confusion. It was compounded by a lack of communication. I doubt I will participate in an Intrepid Trip again.

Back to back x 2 tours. Cafe Colombia & Explore Colombia I highly recommend doing both tours for a comprehensive infusion of the past and the NEW Colombia and its people. This was #2 tour with excellent guide Manuela. Beach, forest, hike, hills, city. A good variety & a safe way to experience Colombia as a solo traveller.

I did 2 Intrepid trips back to back, from Bogota through the coffee region, Medellin to Cartagena, then back via Barichara and the Sierra Nevavda. Simply a fabulous trip, the beauty and history of Colombia was captivating. Thoroughly enjoyed the hiking days and was most impressed by our guide Manuela and the local guides. Special mention to Martin on the Taranga National Park hike. Also have to mention the many great restaurants throughout the whole trip.

I loved every minute of this incredible trip, learnt so much and loved experiencing the country and people. And Will the guide is a bonus he is phenomenal.

Intrepid plan the itinerary to get the most out of the time available. Choose excellent local guides so that you get the best experience in each location. Held together by an excellent person chosen to take the stress out of the trip so that all the connections are made. All in an ethical and sustainable way. Highly recommended. I know we shall book with Intrepid again.

This was a trip of a lifetime for me ,it was my first solo trip and Dani made me feel safe and welcome the whole journey. I will miss this country very much. Thank you again Daniel Atehortua Orozco

My trip through Colombia was amazing! I learned so much about the countries history and culture. It was a lot of fun and we did a lot of activities that I never would have found on my own which made the trip special.

I would highly recommend Colombia as a must see destination. It is a beautiful country and we always felt safe. I learned so much about Colombia’s history and the efforts made to make it a travel destination. Our leader Andrea Nieto was so helpful and organized that it made travel a breeze
