WHERE TO GO IN THE CARIBBEAN COAST

Each region of Colombia boasts its own attractions and the Caribbean coast is no different. It would be just as easy to spend several days on the tiny Rosario Islands relaxing in the sun and swimming in the clear water as it would be to take a short flight to San Andres and Providencia to discover isolated beaches, unspoilt reefs and small towns filled with colourful wooden houses.

Or maybe head along the coast towards Santa Marta and Tayrona National Park, Here you can take a stroll along the park’s long stretches of beach and hike along jungle trails.

See the tiles below for a little more information on each destination. Alternatively, if you are looking for some inspiration, give us a call an speak to one of our expert travel consultants.
