Activity Holidays in Colombia

Overview

Colombia. Now we’re talking. When you hear the words ‘travel’ and ‘Colombia’ being used in a sentence you know it’s a conversation you probably want to be involved in.

Anthony Bourdain, when describing this South American Country, once said: “It’s ludicrous that this place exists and everybody doesn’t want to live here.” And as soon as you land in your first Colombian destination you’ll know exactly what Tony was talking about. Putting its troubling past behind, this place offers a captivating history, interesting architecture, rare wildlife, delectable cuisine and Indiana Jones-esque landscapes, all ready to be explored, hiked, biked or whichever way you want to bask in pure Colombian adventure. Not to mention its warm and welcoming locals who really are the cherry on the top of a very large cake.

There’s no doubt Colombia is quickly becoming the first destination on travel agendas for many discerning travellers, so shake a leg and get here before everyone else decides to join you.

    What our travellers are saying...

    All was very well organised, very good guide, good transportation, and they are very responsive to messages. I use this company now for several years to do my trips within Colombia and it has always been very good.

    Helen

    Most people tell you what makes Colombia so great is the people, they are friendly, eager to share what they know and go the extra mile to make you feel at home and that you have everything you need. This is why I loved this tour so much! Every person we came in contact with (from Nidia & Daniel to Rafael & Edwin) were unexceptionally kind and went out of their way to make our trip special sharing what they know and their love for Colombia!

    Robin

    This was our first time to Colombia. Before going I did a lot of research on tour companies, and decided to take a chance here and I am SO glad we did. They were nothing but professional, friendly, and knowledgeable.

    Simon

    We had such a wonderful experience! Everyone was very welcoming and helpful. Definitely will recommend to friends.

    Marrgerita

    We toured in and around Bogota our first trip and for the last 2 years we have been going to Cartagena. The hotel reservations, the transfers, and the tours are always done in a flawless manner. The tour guides that they employ are always friendly and enthusiastic: and it does not matter whether you are visiting a coffee plantation or Old Town Cartagena. We would never use any other agency when travelling in Colombia. We are very satisfied client

    Roxanne

    The experience provided by was a holiday of a lifetime, easy to arrange and professionally organised. The entire trip from hotel to life experience and back to Hotel was seamless and great fun.

    Mark

    Great day, excellent attention to detail and we were very well looked after by the company personnel (Daniel and Marina) who both called it at just the right note. Very appreciative of the whole experience and a massive well done and thanks to everybody involved.

    Brian

    The tour was amazing, more than I expected it to be, my special thanks to Daniel, our coordinator and the tour guide.

    Elizaveta

    All the tours were amazingly well organised. Our guide, Jorge, was fantastic. very knowledgeable and had a good laugh with all of us. I would really recommend going on one or all of these tours.

    Best Time to Visit Colombia

    General

    We have the advantage that we’re on the equator so it means the weather is the same all year round and we don’t have set seasons. So you can travel anytime really, however, what we have is drier and wet times of the year, not like monsoons or anything, but we have months when it rains a little bit more.

    Basically the months it is more likely to rain are April, October and November, it doesn’t mean you can’t travel, it just means there’s more chance of having some rain.

    December and early January are definitely the busiest times to visit Colombia especially Cartagena and Santa Marta because they’re on the Caribbean coast and the beaches are incredibly popular for both locals and tourists a like

    At this time you need to book hotels well in advance, it doesn’t mean you can’t visit, you just need to plan ahead

    It is good to visit Colombia in mid Jan, February and March, especially after holiday season. It’s usually dry around this time and it’s definitely not as busy as Christmas time.

    May, June and early July are also good times to visit as the weather is very good, you might get a little bit of rain, or you might not, it can be pretty unpredictable.

    We don’t really have high holiday season either but another busy time is from the 15th June – 15th July because of local tourism and schools finish for summer.

    • In many cases, less than 10% of the money spent on a holiday actually ends up in the pockets of the local community. Tourism leakage is a serious problem, and it means many people are not able to reap the benefits of the tourism happening in their own back yard. We work with small, local suppliers and ensure that they receive a fair amount for every holiday we sell.

    We protect the environments we visit.

    • The climate is changing, and the travel industry is a key frontier in this battle. On the one hand, pollution from travel, erosion from over-tourism, and waste from careless travelling can make the problem much worse. But on the other hand, travel affords unique opportunities to help people connect with the natural environment in a close-up, personal way, and support locals in protecting their local environment. We are committed to offering experiences that match our sustainability criteria.

    We educate and provide guidance to travellers, hosts and agents.

    • Travel can help build a better world, but it has to be done properly. We are not just finding experiences that are better for local communities and better for the planet. We are committed to helping everyone travel better. From the moment they book with us until the moment they arrive home, we actively help our travellers with resources and guidance. This helps them travel more mindfully, and ultimately, offers a deeper, more rewarding experience.

    Top tips for visiting Colombia

    Learn some Spanish – it’d be very useful to learn a few basic Spanish words before you came, as a lot of people in Colombia don’t know or know very little English.

    Get your vaccinations – we are a tropical country, so make sure you have the up to date vaccinations, especially for yellow fever. And what protection you need to protect against mosquito bites

    Plan properly – have a plan of all the different places you want to visit throughout. 

    When outside the main cities carry cash – there’s a lot of places outside of the main cities that don’t have ATMs, so make sure you have some cash.

    Ask for help when booking taxis – if you’re out late at a restaurant or for drinks, get the hotel, restaurant or bar to book a taxi. Never take a taxi on the street as it can be dangerous.

    Always be prepared for the weather – especially in Bogota as it’s not uncommon to have the four seasons in one day.
