Four days in Tayrona National Park itinerary
Parque Nacional Natural Tayrona or Tayrona National Park is a large protected area in the north of Colombia. The remote setting made a change from the buzzing city of Medellin… But the party vibe continued (for us, anyway). Here’s what you need to know about staying in Tayrona Park.
A day trip to the Rosario Islands from Cartagena
We took a boat trip to the Rosario Islands from Cartagena and spent the day at the Blue Apple resort on Tierra Bomba. This private day trip wasn't easy to find, so if you want a relaxed trip without a strict itinerary, this is what you need to know.
Two days in Cartagena, Colombia itinerary
Cartagena is a busy, lively place that has a more Caribbean feel to it than the Latin vibes of Bogotá and Medellin. It’s a port town with tropical islands close by, an old military fort, and a beautiful walled city with colourful cobbled streets. We were in Cartagena as part of a two week trip to Colombia, and these were our highlights.
A day trip to Guatapé from Medellín
We took a day trip from Medellin to Guatape. Here's where we went, what we saw, and what to expect.
Five days in Medellín itinerary
Medellín is one of my favourite cities and I could have stayed so much longer than four nights/five days. But in that time we were able to explore a fair amount of the city and its nightlife. These were our highlights.
Three days in Salento, Colombia itinerary
We spent three days in Salento in mid-March, and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Colombia. Salento is a small town in a coffee region set within the Andes mountains. The area is beautiful and green, with plenty of great hikes and tours. And the town itself is quaint, with colourfully-painted houses lining almost every street.
Two nights in Bogotá itinerary
We had heard mixed reviews about Bogotá, the capital of Colombia. But since it’s the only city with direct flights from London, we knew we were going to spend at least one day there. But we were pleasantly surprised.
How we spent two weeks in Colombia
Colombia might be my favourite country I’ve visited so far. Here’s my two week Colombia itinerary, including where to stay in Colombia and is Colombia safe?
