Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Support World Bicycle Relief (an Tuuur Foundation partner) as you explore Barranquilla on two wheels. Visit the not-for-profit factory, cycle along the city’s waterfront promenade and see the statue of Shakira.
Lace up your boots and hike to the Marinka Waterfalls. Spend some time swimming in the clear waters at the base of the waterfall and join a local guide through the charming streets of Minca.
Explore Cienaga Grande de Santa Marta on a tour of the Palafitos Villages. Cruise through the lagoon on a traditional fisherman's boat and learn about the landscape and local wildlife that’s distinct to this UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
Walk through the Old City in Cartagena with your local leader. Visit churches, monasteries, plazas and heritage mansions and learn about the ancient walls built to protect the city from pirates.
Make the most of your time in Colombia with curated included activities and plenty of free time – maybe go island hopping, join a coffee farm tour or take a daytrip to Tayrona National Park.
Is this trip right for you?
Colombia enjoys a stable year-round climate, but it can get particularly hot and humid on the coast. Be sure to drink plenty of water and wear adequate sun protection.
This trip is a great way to see a lot in a short period of time, but if you have more time to enjoy this region you might like to check out Essential Colombia or Lost City Trekking in Colombia.
