Colombia is the country where 'magical realism' comes to life. Rich in culture, with an enormous biodiversity and a notoriously friendly and welcoming population, a journey through this eclectic country is packed with standout moments. Not only do we visit the Caribbean coast and the lush, green coffee region, but we contrast the modern city of Medellin with the traditional Andean culture found in small villages along the way. We have updated our itinerary for 2025 - please select your year of travel below the image gallery to see the correct itinerary.

Bogota - Visit its superb pre-Colombian Gold Museum and the historic streets of La Candelaria
