Tailor-Made Colombia Holidays
Colombia is one of South America’s most rewarding and multidimensional destinations – where Andean peaks give way to coffee-scented valleys, colonial cities hum with colour and history, and the Caribbean coast promises laid-back luxury. Our tailor-made Colombia holidays are designed entirely around you, combining expert local insight with seamless logistics, curated accommodation, and private experiences.
Begin in Bogotá, where street art tours, gold museums, and panoramic viewpoints set the tone for a cultural deep dive. Head west into the lush coffee region, staying in elegant haciendas and learning the bean-to-cup process amid rolling plantations. In Medellín, a city transformed, uncover stories of resilience, innovation, and vibrant youth culture.
On the coast, Cartagena enchants with its pastel-washed colonial streets, romantic rooftop dining, and boutique hotels within the old city walls. For nature lovers, escape to the remote beauty of Tayrona National Park, or go deeper into the wild with a stay in Amazon jungle lodges or the open plains of Los Llanos for wildlife-rich safaris. Finish with time to unwind on the golden sands of the Caribbean coast, or combine your journey with an extension to explore Ecuador and the Galápagos Islands.
