12 days of the main Cultural Highlights of Colombia

Description of the Tourist Experience

On this trip, we will discover for 12 days some of the areas of the center of the Colombian Andes, between the areas of Bogotá the capital, the Magdalena Medio, and Antioquia. We will also have an opportunity to visit the pearl of the Caribbean, Cartagena de Indias, one of the most well-preserved colonial-style cities in the world.

This trip will mostly be a road trip, which will invite us to see and enjoy deep Colombia, interact with its people, and learn more about its history, culture, biodiversity, and it’s incredible and inexhaustible beautiful landscapes.

We will visit multiple patrimonial heritage towns such as Guaduas, Honda, and Jardín, in the central area of the Colombian Andes, and we will learn more about its history and cultural traditions, we will visit its markets, handcrafts, we will learn in a plantation about Colombian coffee and why it is the softest in the world. We will get closer to its people so we can know about Colombians as the most welcoming people.

Apart from being in this part of the center of the Colombian Andes, we will travel by plane to Cartagena, to discover the culture, music, traditions, colonial architecture, the food, interact with the locals, try the local delights, and of course enjoy and explore the biodiversity and its nature, which in Colombia is one of the greatest of the world. !
