Bienvenida! Welcome to Colombia. Transfer to your hotel to get acquainted with your guide and TruTravels family, then head out for a bite to eat. Next morning, get to know Medellin with a city tour, exploring the colourful streets of the once notorious Communa 13, now one of South America’s most visited and vibrant cities.  The following day, start by climbing up 650 stairs to El Penol Rock for spectacular views over Colombia’s countryside, then get your caffeine fix at a local coffee farm, seeing how the beans get from plant to cup and learning how vital the industry is to the community.
