With warm, hospitable people, beautiful architecture and dramatic landscapes, once you start your holiday in Colombia you won't want to leave! Wander around vibrant Bogota tasting delicious Colombian food and sampling local coffee, be inspired by Medellin's turbulent history or get lost in the cobbled streets of romantic Cartagena. Outside of the cities you can explore jagged mountains, misty cloud forest, lush coffee plantations and jungle-fringed beaches.
Colombia is also full of lesser known gems. Wonder at San Agustin's mysterious megalith statues or hike to the Lost City (Ciudad Perdida), experience the vast tropical grasslands and wildlife of Los Llanos or embrace the Colombian passion for music in Cali, the capital of fiestas! Wherever you go, this spellbinding destination will get under your skin.
Trailfinders offers a wide range of Colombia holidays and our expert travel consultants are mines of information about the country, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore Colombia on a private tour with an expert guide, take a sociable small group tour, or are looking for advice on a multi-centre holiday – they are the perfect people to ask.

Colombia Top Tips From Our Travel Experts
Elliott Fisher
Whilst in Bogota make sure you take the cable car to the top of Monserrate Hill - the views over the city are spectacular!
Tom Bonavia
In Medellin, make sure you take a ride on the cable car for amazing aerial views - carry on all the way to Parque Arvi and you suddenly feel a whole world away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it's definitely worth a visit!
Michelle Tachon
Cartagena's historic centre is bursting with colour with brightly painted mansions and bougainvillea clad balconies. One of the most popular ways to soak up the atmosphere of this magical city is with a leisurely horse and cart ride around the cobbled streets.
