Colombia is a vibrant, diverse country, delighting with a rich history, colonial architecture, and spectacular nature and wildlife. While Colombia is often associated with Caribbean beach resorts and coffee, there is so much more to see here, especially for British travellers that slow down and seek out the sights, flavours, and sounds that make this country so special.
Most travellers start in Bogota, the country's capital. This gorgeous urban setting is surrounded by the Andean mountains and boasts historic landmarks such as the Salt Cathedral and Villa de Leyva, and features impressive street art and a thriving food and bar scene.
There are so many spectacular places to see in Colombia, with Chimu's Signature itineraries designed to showcase the best to travellers. In the north of the country, Cartagena is a charming seaside city on the Caribbean coast, known for its picturesque ‘old town’ where you can find some of Colombia’s finest examples of historic architecture. It's also home to stunning resorts along the Caribbean coastline.
A bit further up the Caribbean coast, Tayrona National Park ticks all the boxes for the adventurous explorer with its narrow forest trails leading travellers along seemingly untouched nature, palm-shaded coves, coastal lagoons, rainforest and rich biodiversity.
In Medellin, ride the city's local cable cars on a guided tour, learning about the region's dark history and how it changed over time and observe Medellin's incredible street art scene.
For an insight into archaeology, head to San Augustin and Popayan in the south of Colombia where you can explore ancient sites and enjoy the views of charming historic small towns.
You'll find our Signature Colombia itineraries and extensions below, making it easy to plan your holiday with daily departure dates, English speaking guides, and flexibility to make the trip your own.
Our experienced team is always here to help though, so please give us a call or email and let us help you plan the perfect Colombia travels from the UK, including your international flights, transfers, travel insurance, and more.
