We start our holiday with a guided bike ride on Bogota’s closed roads (only on Sundays), along with many locals, giving a unique perspective of this city.
Next, visit Bogota’s world renown Gold Museum to see some of the very best of the Colombian gold.
We fly Bogota to Pereira and travel to Salento, a beautiful colonial town in the heart of Colombia’s coffee growing area.
Here, we explore on foot, take a guided tour around a coffee farm and a hike through the Wax palm trees. These trees are native to the Cocora valley, Colombia’s national tree, and the tallest palm species in the world growing as high as 60 metres.
Flying north to the Caribbean coast, explore the colonial cities of Cartagena and Santa Marta, before embarking on our 4-day trek to the Lost City.
It starts with a hike through the foothills of the Santa Marta national park, steeply rolling terrain with plenty of ups and downs, heat and humidity.
Refreshing swims in the river, stunning views and reaching The Lost City make this a hugely rewarding trek.
After the trek end the tour with a flight back to Bogota, or opt for a few days of well deserved rest and relaxation in Tayrona national park’s pristine beaches on the Caribbean coast.
Don’t forget binoculars, as there is plenty of birdlife here, keep an eye out for the brightly coloured hummingbirds, toucans and parrots.

Our bike tour was very good we had an excellent guide Rio Claro was absolutely wonderful - the fact that there were many people there meant we mixed a lot and loved it. Amount of time there was just right. Our private taxi to Rio Salento was with a lovely taxi driver, very safe, very polite. Snorkelling was magnificent, a very nice place. On The Lost City trek - the guide was Camacho, who was great. We were given fresh sheets on the beds at camp, the washing facilities are poor and toilets very basic. Camacho did a great job at looking after our diets. We had a big downpour one day and the path became a mud bath - Camacho was great at helping us along safely. The weather cleared and next 3 days were amazing. Overall we loved Colombia - it was a lovely place to go and the people were really friendly. We had lots of laughs and were reassured knowing there was help at the end of the phone if need be.

I woke up and I was full of energy. I slept well. I honestly thought today was going to be worse than it was. But I started going and it was fine. I was so happy to meet the lovely family and students at Finca Argentina that it filled me with good energy. I had such a lovely evening there. Today there was such a beautiful landscape, it made it worth it. Also, I knew how far we had to walk, and how long it was going to take us, and that was really important for me, psychologically. We saw a lot of changes, and humming birds, which was lovely, but I was very tired at some points and my legs were not responding . But it was great in another sense as I was very happy to get to the hotel, knowing I’d seen wonderful things and that I’d done the trek! The landscape was great and finding people who live in these remote places, and live so happily in these lovely areas, that was the most beautiful part for me. And for that alone, it was worth it.
