Colombia is fast becoming South America’s hottest travel destination.  Once famous for its Caribbean resorts and coffee making, it has been often overlooked for its rich history and colonial architecture.  Towns such as Villa de Leyva, Popayan and Cartagena boast incredible colonial architecture and stunning resorts on the picturesque Caribbean coast. Natural beauty is a given in a country that greets the Amazon, Andes and Caribbean and visitors are often left breathless as they take in the vistas this mighty country has to offer.

Colombia

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Cartagena, Bogota, Villa de Leyva My husband and I loved the towns we visited in Colombia. Everything ran smoothly, all the transfers and tours. Cartegena was super lively and interesting, we could walk everywhere in the old town and felt safe. Would recommend asking for a quiet room in the back of your hotel as Cartegena parties late. Our guide, George, who collected us from the airport and then was our tour guide for Bogota and Villa de Leyva and everywhere inbetween was fantastic, very knowledgeable and just really easy to get along with. Villa de Leyva was beautiful. The salt Cathedral was just amazing, so much more than what we were expecting.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great country, great tour This is my second G Adventures tour and I had high expectations after the last one and was not disappointed. Having a great CEO and a great group really helps these experiences become amazing. Everything ran smoothly and there was a great vibe through the 9 days I experienced. Sometimes it felt a bit rushed in places but it was the express tour and this was to be expected. More time in Bogota would have been great but we personally had no time in our trip to accommodate that before the tour. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone. Special shout out to our guide JP who made our experience all the more fun.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Cool Colombia We found the Colombians to be very hospitable hosts and the standard of accommodation and guides was also very good. We didn't get to explore as much as we would have liked due to timing, but we really impressed with Cartagena. A wonderful city, teeming with history! Food was very good and guides excellent. We also enjoyed the hotels we stayed at in Bogota and Cartagena. Luis was a good guide also in Cartagena. Would recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Incredible Colombia! Loved every minute of this spectacular country. Coffee Triangle and our guide were the highlight! Cartagena was also incredible, loved exploring the city and dinner on top the city walls is a must. Would love to go back!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from A good trip, but not entirely without problems A short stay in Bogota as planned was sufficient. There are more exciting cities in South America. Cartagena was an attractive city with the 1/2 day guided tour showing us the many sights. However the accommodation at the hotel Don Pedro de Heredia was not satisfactory. After refusing a smallish room with a double bed, we were given a large room with twin beds which we had requested when booking this trip. It was on the 4th floor. The only problem was that the lift of the hotel did not work at all during the 4 days we spent there - it's not nice to have to walk up in the tropical heat of Cartagena. This hotel can be given 3 *** at best. Our next stop was the Tyrona National Park. After a longish drive from Cartagena, we arrived at the entrance to the park, to find out that we had to walk 7 1/2 km to the lodge through the jungle, 4 km of which was up and down over many steps. I am 78 years old and had no problems but my wife who has 2 replacement knees had very serious problems reaching the lodge. Our itinerary never mentioned anything about the remoteness of the lodge. Our guides to and from the lodge were very helpful. Overall, I have to say that this Colombia trip was not the highlilght of our South America trip and I will not use Chimu again.
