An 8 Day Culture, Beach and National Park tour of Colombia
You know that feeling when you go to an amazing destination and your amigo who lives there is there to show you all over their amazing city?? That’s how we feel about our new adventure to Colombia. Our amigo James, who is Colombian from the Cartagena region, put together a trip that is basically how a local would spend a week in Colombia, because HE IS!
We’ll be staying in a gorgeous B&B in beautiful Cartagena, Colombia's historic coastal city, just steps from the best shops, cafes, and bars. After 4 days of exploring Cartagena and its surrounding islands, we’ll take a road trip along the Caribbean coast to our beachfront home just outside of the breath-taking Parque Tayrona. From here, we'll explore the region that inspired Gabriel Garcia Marquez and visit the neighboring city of Santa Marta and the mountain town of Minca. We'll spend many of our days eating fresh seafood and relaxing on secluded beaches . We know you've been wanting to see Colombia for a long time, so come along with us and let us personally show you the beauty that is Colombia and the incredible people who live there.
It will be the trip to Colombia you have been waiting to do with us! We can’t wait to show you our team’s homeland.

What we do!
Cartagena
We’ll be staying in a UNESCO World Heritage city. Once walled to block pirate attacks, our groups will now have full access to the best art, music, food and parties that this super cute town has to offer. From street art walks to open bar fiestas on Colombian party buses. Yes, we’re doin’ it all!
S
ome serious food!
We're talking the freshest seafood, organic coffee and craft beers in Colombia. Que rico! We’ll hit all of the foodie spots, from local fisherman to the hippest spots in Cartagena.
Colorful Boutiques and Art
We’ll hit the streets with our “amigo local” artists to show you the best in street art and local galleries.
Painting of Gabriel Garcia Marquez in Cartagena
Parque Tayrona
We travel up the Caribbean coast, heading to our beach side lodgings outside the stunningly beautiful Tayrona National Park, where the ocean meets the rain forest and the world's highest coastal mountain range. We’ll be horseback riding to private beaches and taking small fishing boats to nearby islands by day. At night we go to sleep in our eco lodge with the roar of the ocean and the wind blowing through the palm trees.
Coffee, craft beer and waterfalls…
We’ll be taking a day trip up the local mountains to a coffee growing region. Sample the local coffee, and wait, it’s ALSO a craft beer hotbed?! Well, then we’ll taste local craft beer before hiking to a waterfall. Of course, we’ll stop for a swim. All the elements of a perfect day!
