Colombia in 9 Days
Medellín, Bogotá and Cartagena: A Cultural Experience to start getting to know the country
Description of the Tourist Experience
This is a 9-day tour that uses Medellín as a base in the Andean region, to go, visit and enjoy this Andean region, in which you will have a closer approach to the "Cultura Paisa" (people of Antioquia), the transformation from what used to be the most dangerous city in the world in the 80s to one of the most exciting cities in Latin America to visit and live.
Later we will travel to the Colombian Caribbean, to have a different perspective of the country. We will fly to Cartagena de Indias.
Cartagena de Indias is the most important colonial city in Colombia and one of the most important tourist attractions in the country. The walled city as it is known, a UNESCO World Heritage Site

It is one of the best examples of Spanish colonial architecture in all of Latin America. The cultural and heritage legacy is simply extraordinary. It is a pleasure to walk through its streets full of churches, squares and colonial buildings, which transport you to another era.
We will visit the most iconic places in these two areas to get the best perspective of the region. They will visit: Medellín, Guatapé, Bogotá, the capital and finally the city of Cartagena on the Colombian Caribbean.
