Colombia Trips & Package Tours
A country of biodiverse jungle and captivating colonial cities. Book your Colombia package today!
Forget everything you think you know about Colombia and discover why it's fast becoming South America's next great adventure destination. From the soaring peaks of the Andes to the pristine beaches of the Caribbean Sea coast, Colombia is home to a great natural diversity thanks largely to its position on the Equator, with a third of the country occupied by the wildlife-dense Amazon rainforest. It's not just the Amazon either, Colombia has one of the richest biodiversities of anywhere on Earth, and places such as Tayrona National Park are teeming with unique wildlife. Colombia is also the only South American country to have a coastline on both the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans, separated by the narrow sliver of Panama to the north.
Colombia also boasts some of South America's finest colonial cities, from the extraordinarily preserved Cartagena to the white-washed city of Popayan with cinematic cobbled streets and wide plazas. There's also a healthy spread of mysterious ancient ruins including San Agustin, where exquisitely carved stone statues depict surreal scenes of serpent-headed humans and frenzied monkeys. Definitely a trip to remember!

GO WILD ON OUR COLOMBIA TRIPS
With such a varied terrain Colombia is a playground for outdoor adventurers and nature lovers. Dive among untouched coral reefs off the coast in Tayrona National Park, explore the pre-Colombian site of San Agustin by horse and go mountain biking around the attractive colonial town of Villa de Leyva.

The Best of our Colombia Trips
Tucked in the northwest corner of South America with terrain that stretches from the tropical beaches of the Caribbean coast to the dramatic mountain ranges of the Andes and the lush Amazon rainforest, Colombia is not short on natural beauty and impressive contrast with fun modern cities, charming colonial towns and beautiful coffee estates to boot. Here are some of our favourite spots in Colombia, which are definitely worth seeking out.
Bogota
Studded with skyscrapers and surrounded by mountains, Bogota is a pulsing city at the heart of Colombia. Having left its turbulent past behind, this capital city is now a trendy hub of activity, boasting a wealth of stylish boutiques, gourmet eateries and striking street art. Wander through the streets lined with colonial mansions, sparkling glass high-rises and other more humble dwellings as the energy of Bogota flows through you.
Cartagena de Indias
The jewel in Colombia's crown, Cartagena de Indias as it is officially known wins on all counts when it comes to beauty. With colourful colonial buildings lining the streets and Bocagrande beach spreading along the city’s coastline, Cartagena de Indias is the kind of place that captivates your soul and delights your senses. Take a dip in the medicinal mud of the nearby Totumo volcano or grab a coffee in one of the numerous cafes while you immerse yourself in Cartagena’s Caribbean vibe.
Tayrona National Park
With a dazzling bay comprising perfect Caribbean beaches and sparkling turquoise water, there’s plenty to fall in love with at Tayrona National Park. Deeper into the park, coastline turns to thick, lush rainforest, in which dozens of endangered species roam freely. Seek out some magnificent wildlife as you make your way through the park’s leafy canopy. Originally home to hundreds of ancient settlements, this park is ideal for nature lovers and history buffs alike.
Zona Cafetera
Situated in the rolling hills of Colombia, the coffee-producing region known as Zona Cafetera will leave you breathless (and not just because of the altitude). The landscape here is made up of verdant plantations, surrounded by towering trees and wrapped up with low wisps of cloud. Check out one of the many coffee farms where the famed arabica bean is grown and processed or take a tour around one of the historic villages as you absorb the stunning scenery of the region.
San Agustin
For those looking to delve into Colombia’s ancient history, there are few places in the country better than the San Agustin Archaeological Park. Imbued with ancient mystery, this UNESCO World Heritage site boasts the largest number of religious, megalithic monuments found in any one site across the world. Here you can come face-to-face with dozens of intricately carved sculptures of various deities and mythical creatures with compelling expressions and features.
Medellin
Colombia's second city has long been associated with the scourge of Pablo Escobar and the infamous drug lord's reign of terror. But the city has worked hard to free itself of this reputation, and today Medellin is a safe and vibrant town to visit. Pristine green spaces, a bustling nightlife scene and a modern elevated cable car system that makes travelling around the city as pleasant as exploring the sights!
