Personalized Custom Colombia Travel Packages
Colombia is only just getting recognized as the travel destination jewel that it is thanks to the peace process resolving its tragic 70-year civil war. In an age of over-tourism, crowded destinations, and exploitative pricing, Colombia stands out as a destination where a traveler can intimately experience the culture firsthand, enjoy excellent food, lodgings, and services, all for an accessible price.
Top 6 Places to Visit in Colombia
1) Tour Colombia’s Vibrant Cities:
Travel to Colombia’s urban centers like the bustling capital of Bogotá, the largest city in Colombia, or the surprisingly modern city of Medellín (known as the Silicon Valley of the Andes) to experience world-class art, music, design, and great food and nightlife.
2) Visit Cartagena: The Historic Caribbean Port
Tour Cartagena, the Spanish colonial buildings of the Walled City on the Caribbean coast, which is a painstakingly restored 500-year-old UNESCO World Heritage site. Cartagena’s winding cobblestone streets are filled with great boutiques, delicious restaurants, and unbeatable nightlife, and everything seems to swing to the tropical rhythms of the Afro-Caribbean beat that is ingrained in Colombian culture.
3) Travel to the Rosario Islands
Located just a thrilling 45-minute speed boat ride offshore of Cartagena, visiting the Islas Rosarios, a chain of dreamy tropical islands, is one of the most popular Colombia vacation excursions. If you want to spend a few nights, Cosmopolitours will rent your own private island with a fully serviced villa on the water. If you don’t have time to stay overnight in Islas Rosarios, we can arrange a day of sun, sand, and leisure at one of Cartagena’s best private luxury beach clubs. If getting into the local culture is more your style, Cosmopolitours offers a guided tour of the Afro-Caribbean villages of Baru Island.
4) Visit Colombia’s Tayrona National Park
Near the city of Santa Marta where the towering snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountains crash down to meet the Caribbean sea. Tayrona national natural park is home to some of Colombia’s Best Beaches. Most importantly, Traveling to Tayrona National Park with Cosmpolitours allows you to support the indigenous Kogi people, the living descendants of the ancient civilization who built what are now jungle ruins called Ciudad Perdida (Colombia’s Lost City) The Kogi have only recently re-emerged from their high mountain redoubts on a mission to warn the rest of us people about the destruction we are causing to Mother Earth.
5) Tour Colombia’s Coffee Highlands
Known as the Eje Cafetero, this must-visit destination is a journey back to a simpler time, where you visit some of the world’s most prized coffee plantations, and really learn everything there is to know about coffee from gultivation, to harvest, through roasting and brewing to your cup. Even if you couldn’t care less about coffee, these sub-tropical highlands offer visitors so much like stunning vistas of green mountains and rainbows, orchids growing in the trees and colorful birds and butterflies flitting around. The small towns like Saliento and Filandia, which inspired the setting for the movie Encanto, are peaceful lovely mountain hamlets with narrow streets, great food, fun, and artisanal shopping, without being overrun by tourists – at least not yet.
6) Journey to Colombia’s Amazon Region
Situated in the southwest of Colombia where Peru, Brazil, and Colombia meet across the banks of the Amazon River allows you to experience a bio-diversity unavailable anywhere else on the planet. Only in Amazonas can you see pods of Pink Fresh Water Porpoise, cavorting around in their native environment. On one of our guided jungle night wildlife walks, if you’re lucky you just might see the golden eyes of endangered and sacred Jaguar staring back at you from the darkness.

Best Time of Year to Travel to Colombia for Vacation
Colombia is truly a year-round travel destination.
Situated at the most northern part of South America, Colombia is the most geographically and biologically diverse country in the world. It has coastlines on both the Pacific, and the Caribbean, towering snow-capped Andes mountain chains, dense tropical rainforests, the Amazon, beautiful otherworldly desert sand dunes that run down to the sea, and much more. Thanks to this privileged geography it is practically always a good time to travel to Colombia.
Of course, because it is in South America in the Southern Hemisphere, seasons are reversed in Colombia compared to the Northern Hemisphere. Winter in the United States is Summer in Colombia, etc… but most of the best Colombian destinations are temperate year-round.
The cosmopolitan city of Medellín, located in a valley of the Andes Mountains is known as the City of Eternal Spring because of its lovely mild climate. The city of Cali, the salsa dancing capital of the world, enjoys a climate similar to that of Santa Barbara, California which is always beautiful. Bogota’s weather is similar to San Francisco, California, though it’s altitude is like Denver Colorado’s.
Tayrona National Natural Park, located where the Sierra Nevada mountains meet the Caribbean Sea, has pristine beaches that are warm and enjoyable all year. Same with Colombia’s other coastal cities like Santa Marta, Barranquilla and Cartagena which all have beautiful beaches on mild Caribbean waters.
Of this list, tell us what sounds appealing, and how many nights you have available for touring Colombia.
