Colombia: From San Agustin To Cartagena

Below is a sample Colombia itinerary. Call us to start planning your amazing journey with one of our travel specialists today.

No longer a country with a dangerous reputation, Colombia offers a wealth of distinct landscapes, authentic indigenous cultures, and a bold, infectious spirit. Our program begins in Colombia’s bustling Andean capital, Bogotá, where the pre-Columbian, colonial, and contemporary vie for visitor’s attention. From there, visit Villa de Leyva, a quintessential colonial Spanish settlement whose low, white buildings and cobblestone streets will bring you back in time. Fly to San Agustín and learn about the 5,000 year-old indigenous statues that dominate the area. In Popayan, we explore what is widely recognized as the best-preserved colonial town in Colombia that also represents a major religious and educational center. En route to the lush coffee zone of Colombia’s interior, experience a truly authentic indigenous market where the Guambiano people convene once a week to sell produce and hand-crafted products. Travel to Medellín, Colombia’s phoenix from the ashes and a city that successfully used community beautification and engagement to fight poverty and violence. Our journey ends in Cartagena, a fortified colonial port city whose very walls and vibrantly painted buildings seem to have their own energy and radiate a warmth and serenity that stays with visitors long after they’ve left. Return home from Cartagena.
