DETAILED ITINERARY
​Colombia - hosted small group, women-only tour
13 days / 12 nights

DAY 1: Arrival – Bogotá
​Meals Included: Welcome Dinner

Bienvenidos! Welcome to Colombia.

Your Colombian adventure kicks off in buzzing Bogotá! Early afternoon, after a short welcome meeting we will dive straight in with an orientation walk, taking in the city's captivating colonial architecture and the vibrant heart of La Candelaria.

Later, we'll ascend Cerro de Monserrate by cable car (or funicular), soaking up the truly spectacular panoramic views of Bogotá as the sun dips below the horizon. 

A delicious welcome dinner awaits us at the top, a perfect start to our Colombian journey!

DAY 2: Bogotá-Pereira-Salento
Meals Included: Breakfast

Today, we arise nice and early and explore the colourful Paloquemao Market where we can get to know the locals and try new flavours at this bustling whirlwind of colours and scents.

From the market, we hop on a short flight to Colombia's famous coffee region and then transfer to the beautiful village of Salento. When we arrive, take your time strolling through the quaint streets and admiring the paisa architecture.

​Colombia's national sport, Tejo, is a popular pastime in Salento – think bocce with gunpowder! If you're game, we will visit the local tejo hall and give it a go.
We'll also hike to Mirador Alto De La Cruz for panoramic views of Salento, hopefully catching a stunning sunset.

For dinner tonight, maybe you will choose the local delicacy of trout, often served with a rich, garlicky cheese sauce.

DAY 3: Salento
​Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch.

Today, we hop in a jeep and head out to the Cocora Valley – home of the tall wax palm (Colombia's national tree).
​
We'll hike to the summit of Finca la Montana, reaching an altitude of 2860m, where, if the weather permits, we'll be rewarded with incredible panoramic views of Morrogacho Mountain and the valley below. We continue on through the tranquil beauty of Reserva Natural Acaime's lush cloud forest, a vibrant ecosystem teeming with diverse flora and fauna, including the colourful hummingbirds that dance amongst the foliage.

This hike requires a moderate degree of fitness; we will be spending the day walking ~14km as we explore.

DAY 4: Salento to Chinchiná
​Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

After breakfast we journey into the heart of Colombia's coffee region for a two night stay at Hacienda Venecia, an authentic, family run coffee estancia nestled in the mountains.
​
Thanks to the tropical altitude and fertile volcanic soil, Colombia is one of the world’s biggest coffee producers.
​You’ll get to know this addictive little bean much better on a guided tour of the coffee plantation and processing centre today. Dig into the history of the plant, learning the inside story of the industry that's long buoyed the country's economy. See how the beans are grown and harvested, processed, dried, roasted and ground, and then sample first-hand what all the fuss is about. You’ll try different types of coffee grains and get a lesson on preparing them, finishing it all off with a steaming cup of freshly brewed joe.

Later, relax amid the estancia's beautiful surroundings of sloping green hills and valleys or maybe cool off in the swimming pool.

DAY 5: Chinchiná
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Enjoy a day at your own pace, either unwinding at the finca or choosing from one of the many optional activities available.
​
  • Artisan Chocolate Workshop
  • Artisan Rum Making Experience
  • Massage 
  • Hot Springs Tour
  • Orchid tour @ Finca Romelia
  • Rio Blanco Birdwatching
​Please note that some of these options may be subject to minimum numbers

DAY 6: Chinchiná-Jericó-Medellin
Meals Included: Breakfast

Today we travel to Medellín, visiting Jericó, a heritage village located approximately 120 kilometres south-west of Medellín in Antioquia. Jericó is renowned as the birthplace of Santa Madre Laura Montoya, canonised in 2013 by Pope Francis. Her legacy contributes significantly to the village's fame, with effigies commemorating her presence throughout the area.

​We'll learn about how Medellin spent the 1980s and 90s with an international reputation as one of the world's most dangerous cities (no thanks to Pablo Escobar's notorious drug cartel). Medellin has now turned itself around to become one of the most exciting cities in South America. With some of the country's finest museums, parks and architecture (and a much safer and more comfortable atmosphere), it's easy to see why it's getting more popular.
​
Tonight, you’re free to relax or ask your leader for the best local hang outs where you can try some arepas (crispy white corn cakes usually stuffed with meat and vegetables.)

DAY 7: Medellin
​Meals Included: Breakfast

Twenty years ago, Medellín was one of the most dangerous cities in the world. In the early 1990s, during the pursuit of Pablo Escobar, the head of the Medellín drug cartel, the city was at its peak of violence.

However, the era of "El Patrón" eventually came to an end. Despite continued struggles over Escobar's successor until the early 2000s, Medellín began to undergo significant changes in 2002. Local politicians began investing heavily in infrastructure and public education. Today, the "City of Eternal Spring" stands as one of the most innovative metropolises globally.

Today, we’ll take part in a Barrio transformation tour. We take a metro cable to Acevedo to meet our local guide and discover more about how Medellin has transformed its most populated neighbourhoods. We’ll explore its history, the struggle of its people, the outstanding achievements and the different faces of the city’s recent transformation including the vibrant Comuna 13, renowned for its street art and culture.

After that we will head to the heart of Medellin for an exciting salsa class! Learn the rhythm and moves of this iconic Colombian dance in a fun and friendly atmosphere, perfect for beginners and seasoned dancers alike.

DAY 8: Medellin - Santa Marta - Palomina (Tayrona Area)
Meals Included: Breakfast

We'll start the day by immersing ourselves in the vibrant tradition of Medellín's Feria de las Flores (Flower Festival) at a family farm in Santa Helena.  Learn about this iconic celebration from a local family deeply rooted in the tradition, and we can craft our own silleta (flower arrangement) with expert guidance.

Afterwards, we will continue on to the airport to catch a short flight to Santa Marta, and then take a scenic private transfer (approximately 1 1/2 hours) to Palomino, a charming coastal town in the Guajira region.  Settle in, soak up the views of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, and get ready for some quality beach time.

Our leader will give us a quick tour of the town upon arrival followed by free time to spend the rest of the day as we please.


          

DAY 9: Tayrona National Park
​Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

We'll trek through the jungle and relax on pristine beaches in Tayrona National Natural Park, one of Colombia's key ecological reserves.  Our ~ two hour walk takes us to the park's main beaches, from Arrecifes to La Piscina, culminating at Cabo San Juan del Guía, an iconic Colombian beach.  We'll return via the same trail, soaking up the park's diverse landscapes and rich blend of history, nature, and culture.


Tonight, take the chance to feast on some fresh seafood, like lionfish or prawns – with its Caribbean location, Palomino is naturally home to some excellent restaurants with some of the freshest and tastiest seafood in Colombia. The best of them can be found at the far end of the beach, where the river meets the sea.

DAY 10: Tayrona
​​Meals Included: Breakfast

Enjoy a leisurely day in Palomino, soaking up the sun on the beach or exploring the surroundings.
​
Optional activities:
  • Tubing in Don Diego River
  • Katanzama indigenous community visit 
  • Flamencos National Park 

DAY 11: Tayrona - Barranquilla - Cartagena
​Meals Included: Breakfast

Travel to Cartagena this morning – a port city on the Caribbean coast known for its walled Old Town founded in the 16th century.

En route we will stop in Barranquilla, where we will walk it's new malecon, hopefully visit the Mapuka museum (depending on opening hours) and enjoy a delicious lunch.

When we arrive in Cartagena, our leader will take us on a short orientation walk in the area around the hotel.

Then, you’ll have the chance to soak up all this city offers at your own pace. The Old Town’s inner walls are the main attraction – inside, it's packed with beautiful churches, monasteries and mansions.

Maybe visit San Felipe de Barajas Castle or hit one of the nearby beaches. You could visit the Coral Islands or take a boat trip to the Rosario Islands for more coastal bliss. You could also take on a rum tasting (yum) or learn some new moves at a champeta dance class.

​If you fancy, maybe take a private sunset cruise on the water and watch the city transform as darkness falls. Your leader will be on hand to give you tips on making the best of your time.

DAY 12: Cartagena
​Meals Included: Breakfast, lunch & dinner

Today we take a full day trip to the Rosario Islands where the beaches offer a perfect escape.

The Islas del Rosario are located in the Caribbean Sea, about 35 km southwest of the port city of Cartagena. An archipelago of 27 coral islands, a few of which are just tiny islets, they are renowned for their surrounding coral reefs and beautifully clear waters.
Designated as a national park in 1977, we can spend our day swimming, snorkelling or just relaxing!


Once back on land, there will be time to freshen up before we head out for our farewell dinner in Cartagena.

Suggested Tour Extension:

Ciudad Perdida
Journey to the fabled  Lost City of Teyuna, an archaeological site hidden within the jungle-topped mountains of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Maria, on the upper reaches of the Buricata River. This ancient site, although known to local tribes, was not "rediscovered" until 1972 and predates Machu Picchu by 650 years. Accessible only through a moderate multi-day jungle trek, the site features a 1,200-step stone staircase that guards its entrance. The climb to the top is rewarded by stunning views and the opportunity to explore 
impressive tiled roads, terraces, and plazas that are intricately carved into the mountainside.

Visiting Machu Picchu can be as simple as jumping on a train, whereas visiting the Ciudad Perdida is a true accomplishment
that takes time, effort and perseverance.
