Bogota, Medellin & Cartagena - 8 daysPARTIALLY GUIDED TOUR: Take in the highlights of Colombia's three most popular cities on this 8-day group tour, travelling from Bogota to Cartagena via Medellin. Enjoy guided sightseeing in all three destinations, learn how to play the national sport of Tejo and ride a cable car over Medellin. Visit Bogota's Gold Museum, eat your way across Cartagena's Bazurto Market and enjoy a full day at leisure in this colonial gem, or opt for a day trip to the blissful Rosario Islands. See the Inclusions for more information regarding the guiding style of this tour.Worldwide Touring8I think the guides made the trip - very enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and flexible. It was the country, its history, its present, and rather positive about its future that was the heart of experience. Discovering the Fernando Botero collection - his own works and his collection was another highlight We were not thrilled by the seemingly disconnected and delayed attention to our requests for information about the trip, preparation for it, and communications during the trip. There were 6 of us on this tour - which we only found out the first day. And together we pieced enough about various info
Highlights of Colombia - 11 daysPARTIALLY GUIDED TOUR: Begin this 11-day tour of Colombia with a private bike tour of Bogota's highlights, and visit the Gold Museum. Play Colombia's national sport of Tejo and travel to Villa de Leyva via the Salt Cathedral of Zipaquira. Discover Villa de Leyva's historic charm and its paleontological museum before flying to the Coffee Region to visit the Cocora Valley, Salento, and Finca El Ocaso. Journey to Medellin for a city tour highlighting its transformation, including Comuna 13. Continue to Tayrona National Park and conclude in Cartagena with visits to La Popa Monastery, San Felipe Fortress, and the historic centre. See the Inclusions for more information regarding the guiding style of this tour.Worldwide Touring11The guided walk to Cocora with a nature-focused guide. Shorter than we'd like but the guide Gustavo, packed in a lot of interesting information and sightings. The hotel choices, local tour guides and free time were perfect for our budget and we could amend and add our own experiences as we wished. Bogota and Medellin on Tuesdays meant we couldn't visit any museums in our spare time, when it was raining. Villa de Leyva was a long trip and not that interesting for a self-guided tour, maybe drop that in favour of more time for a longer walk in Cocora Valley.

Why start in Medellin
A city of color, change, and mountain views, with easy links across Colombia
Medellin has a compelling story of transformation, and you can sense it in the neighbourhoods you explore and the conversations you have along the way. Time in areas such as Comuna 13 gives context for the city’s past while highlighting how music, murals and community-led projects have helped reshape its identity. It also pairs naturally with a classic city tour, giving you a broader perspective on Medellin’s history, daily rhythms and modern energy. As a gateway, the city fits neatly into wider Colombia routes that link the Andes with the Coffee Region and the Caribbean coast, letting you move from cooler mountain air to warm coastal days within a single itinerary. If you prefer having guidance for the key experiences but still want breathing space, Medellin often works especially well, with guided highlights and flexible time built into the day. With options spanning social group tours and private travel, the planning around transfers and transport is designed to keep the focus on the experience rather than the logistics.
