Tailor-made trip in Colombia with a local agency

Why leave to Colombia ?

If we put the calendar of festivities in each department and the number of public holidays end to end, we realize that there is at least one celebration per day in Colombia. Whether during the processions of Holy Week, the Barranquilla carnival, or the celebrations in the squares to the sounds of the orchestras, the Colombian joie de vivre is palpable at every moment. Colombia likes to dance, sing, get drunk! The hospitality, enthusiasm, spontaneity and good humour of Colombians are generally the most memorable aspects of a trip to Colombia.

Preparing for your trip to Colombia

The omnipresent nature :

The omnipresent natureCommunion with nature is easy in Colombia, as there are so many unspoilt areas of human presence. The green valleys of the mountain ranges, the snow-covered peaks, the immense llanos (floodplains) of the east, the powerful rivers, the wild beaches of the Pacific are all places where nature prevails. In rural areas, traditional farms are increasingly turning to agro-tourism, welcoming foreigners in search of green pastures and authentic peasant culture.

Adventure and outdoor sports

The variety of reliefs allows the practice of many water sports, air or land. The surroundings of Cali, Medellín or San Gil attract paragliding, mountain biking and rafting enthusiasts. Climbers will put their slippers on the cliffs of Suesca and climbers will have the choice between several Andean peaks at more than 5,000 m. The seabed, coral or volcanic, will delight divers. A mask and a snorkel are enough to observe an unforgettable sight, especially since the water temperature is pleasant everywhere. Finally, the Amazon and the little-known Eastern Llanos offer incredible adventures, on foot, by bike or by canoe.

Historical and cultural heritage

The mix of pre-Hispanic, African and Spanish cultures, fused into the Republic and modernity, make Colombia a territory where the heritage is obvious; architecture of large cities mixing skyscrapers and colonial houses, archaeological remains of pre-Columbian civilizations, Amerindian villages along rivers or in the mountains... Colombia is a mosaic of peoples, with cultural particularities and many hidden treasures.
