Bogota

A tour of Bogota invigorates the senses with soaring peaks of Mount Montserrate overlooking the city; the funky La Candeleria district with its eclectic street art, historic public squares and vibrant open-air markets; art and history museums; and cathedrals.  A number of small, boutique hotels, quaint eateries, and entertaining bars thrive throughout the city making Bogota a destination enjoyed by day and night.

Coffee Region

Hop over to the district of Quindío, densely populated by family centric Colombian coffee and cocoa plantations. Enjoy staying in a local hacienda or working farm where guests can hike, ride horses with a gaucho, paraglide, learn to cook local dishes and embrace the coffee culture.

Cartagena

Join the party in Cartagena. Boutique hotels tucked behind old wooden doors hide spectacular gardens and private pools within the ancient walls of the Old City. Nightlife, restaurants, horse drawn carriages, street vendors, performers and musicians are all part of the Cartagena scene. A trip to the local market and biking though the neighborhood of Getsemani are also great ways to enjoy local culture and capture some great photographs and memories.

Rosario Islands

No trip to Cartagena is complete without a trip to the Rosario Islands aboard a chartered private boat. Choose between a day tour or an overnight stay to explore and relax on pristine beaches away from the crowds.

Join Aturo Escobar on a private transformation tour which highlights the extreme positive changes that have taken place in Medillin since the violent ‘90s and the drug culture cultivated by Aturo’s brother Pablo.

Experience Tayrona National Park and Santa Marta in northern Colombia. This park, located where the foothills of the Sierra Nevada meet the Caribbean coast, is known for its palm-shaded coves, coastal lagoons and the Pueblito ruins, an archaeological site built by the Tayrona civilization.
