MEDELIN

A City Reborn

Medellín was once considered the most dangerous city in the world. Today, it stands as an icon of transformation. In Comuna 13, the graffiti tell stories, and the cable cars connect impoverished neighbourhoods to the city centre.

The air carries a new feeling - one of possibilities, art, and change, which you'll feel with every step.

HATO AURORA

Serengeti of Colombia

Chato Aurora is one of the richest places for wildlife and birds in South America – a savannah where you'll see capybaras, caimans, monkeys, anteaters, and hundreds of birds, including toucans and ibises.

There are no crowds here – just you, a 4x4 jeep, your camera, and the silence of the wilderness, interrupted only by the cries of parrots and the sounds of the winds.

ISLAS DEL ROSARIO

Caribbean Island Paradise

The Islas del Rosario archipelago is like a postcard: white sand, turquoise waters, and palms swaying in the breeze.

Here you'll discover coral reefs, dolphins, sea turtles, and maybe even yourself – in moments of complete relaxation far from the world.

Itinerary

Bogota → Gold Museum → Casanare savannas → Hato Aurora safari → Medellin → Commune 13 → Jardin → El Esplendor Cave → Cartagena → San Felipe Fortress → Rosario Islands

Day 1

Welcome to Bogotá

The Colombian adventure begins with landing in the capital, Bogota – a city perched 2,640 meters high in the heart of the Andes. The air here is fresh, slightly rarefied, and the atmosphere is a mix of colonial charm, street art, and modern Latin American energy.

After we pass through border control, our local team greets us and organizes a transfer to the hotel. We settle in, relax after the long flight, and have some free time to acclimatise.

If we feel up to it, we might take a short stroll around the neighbourhood or simply enjoy our first evening in Colombia with a glass of local wine or aromatic coffee – your choice.

Overnight in Bogota.

Day 2

History and Gold: Monserrate and Candelaria

After breakfast, we set off to explore Bogotá, starting with Candelaria – the old town with narrow streets, colonial houses, street art, and a bohemian spirit. At every step, we'll discover a new view – from vibrant graffiti to impressive cathedrals and squares.

We visit the Gold Museum, where we'll see the largest collection of gold artifacts from pre-Columbian civilizations – a testament to the cultural riches of this continent.

In the afternoon, we're in for an ascent (by cog railway or cable car) to the top of Monserrate – the sacred mountain above the city, offering a breathtaking panorama of all Bogotá.

The sunset here is unforgettable – the soft light colors the buildings below and the mountains in the distance. In the evening, we return to the hotel for well-deserved rest.

Overnight in Bogotá.

Day 3

Flight to the Savannas of Casanare

Early in the morning, we head to the airport and catch a domestic flight to Yopal, at the foothills of the eastern Andes. From here, our true immersion into the Colombian wilderness begins.

After about a 3-hour transfer on roads and dirt paths, we arrive at Juan Solito Eco Lodge, located in the heart of Hato Aurora – one of the best-preserved nature reserves in the Llanos region.

We settle in, rest, and as evening falls, we head out on our first sunset safari, when the wild animals start to stir. Our first encounters with capybaras, caimans, and numerous birds are just the beginning.

Overnight at the eco lodge in the Llanos.

Day 4

Safari in 'Serengeti' of Colombia

After an early breakfast, we hop into open 4x4 jeeps to traverse the endless plains, woodlands, and wetlands of Hato Aurora. Called the "Serengeti of Colombia," this area is home to over 300 species of birds, monkeys, sloths, wild boars, rhinoceros beetles, and rare mammals like giant anteaters.

In the midday heat, we stop for lunch under the shade of a mango tree, then continue our wildlife quest in the late afternoon.

Sunset finds us once more in the open – camera in hand, feeling as if we've stepped into a dream safari.

Overnight stay in an ecolodge in Llanos.

Day 5

Sunrise in Llanos and an Afternoon with the Cowboys

We wake up early to catch the sunrise over the savannah – the soft light makes every photo magical. We head out for a short morning safari and then enjoy a homemade breakfast prepared by local hosts.

During the day, we have the option of horseback riding, participating in traditional cowboy activities, or simply relaxing in a hammock with a view of the river.

In the evening, we gather around the fire, surrounded by the sounds of Llanero music – a style that symbolizes this land.

Overnight stay in an eco-lodge in Los Llanos.

Day 6

Hello, Medellin

After a final morning walk through the savannah and breakfast, we head back to Yopal, from where we will fly to Medellín – the second-largest city in Colombia, nestled among green mountains.

The city, renowned for its incredible transformation over the past decades, greets us with a mild climate, palm trees, and a modern urban vibe.

Check into the hotel and enjoy a free evening to relax.

Overnight in Medellín.

Day 7

City of Transformation: The Story of Medellin

Today, we'll dive deep into Medellín and its remarkable transformation—from a '90s violence epicenter to a modern cultural hub of South America.

With the help of a local guide, we'll explore iconic spots like Comuna 13—a neighbourhood that's become a symbol of hope. We discover vibrant graffiti, meet local creators, and learn how art changes destinies.

We'll also ride the city cable car that links the hilltop poverty-stricken areas with the city centre—a true infrastructure breakthrough for social change.

Free time in the afternoon.

Overnight stay in Medellín.

Day 8

Mountain Blooms and Bird Songs in Jardin

In the morning, we set off for Jardín – a quaint colonial town nestled among the mountains of Antioquia. The journey takes us through scenic landscapes with banana and coffee plantations.

In the afternoon, we’re in for a walk to a hummingbird observation point and a meeting with Colombia's national bird – the Andean Cock-of-the-rock, renowned for its vibrant orange plumage and graceful dance.

In the evening, we can immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of Jardín’s central square – with rocking chairs, street music, and the aroma of fresh coffee.

Overnight stay in Jardín.

Day 9

Cave Adventure and Return to Coffee

After breakfast, we head to the nearby cave El Esplendor – one of the most beautiful natural wonders in the region. We pass through tropical landscapes until we reach a waterfall that plunges directly into the heart of the cave.

After a refreshing swim and a photo break, we return to Jardín for lunch and a short rest.

In the afternoon, we will be transferred to the surrounding coffee farms, where we will learn more about the process of growing, harvesting, and roasting Colombian coffee. And of course, we'll taste it – freshly roasted and brewed with love.

Overnight stay in Jardín.

Day 10

From the Mountains to the Caribbean – a Flight to Cartagena

In the morning, we head to the airport to catch a flight to Cartagena – the most iconic coastal city of Colombia.

We arrive in the afternoon and immerse ourselves in the magical atmosphere of the Old Town, encircled by fortress walls, with colourful facades, flower-adorned balconies, and the scent of rum and seafood in the air.

An evening stroll feels like a movie scene – with street musicians, artistic street performances, and a bay painted in golden hues.

Overnight stay in Cartagena.

Day 11

Tales of Pirates and Colonial Glory

Today, we wander through San Felipe Fortress, built in the 17th century to protect the city from pirates and conquerors. With its underground tunnels and views of the ocean, it's one of the most impressive places in Cartagena.

Then, we head on a tour of the Old Town with a local guide, who will share legends about Spanish conquistadors, pirates, and poets.

Afternoon – free time for strolls, shopping, cocktails on a terrace, or the beach.

Overnight stay in Cartagena.

Day 12

Caribbean Island Relaxation

After breakfast, we board a boat for an excursion to the Rosario Archipelago—a group of tropical islands nestled amidst the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. We spend the day among white sandy beaches, palm trees, snorkelling adventures, and coconut cocktails.

There's no rush here—just the sea, sun, and complete relaxation. For those seeking activity, there's the chance to snorkel among coral reefs, try kayaking, or enjoy walks across the islands.

Overnight stay in Cartagena.

Day 13

A Free Day in Cartagena

This day is entirely free for us to enjoy Cartagena in our own way. We can spend it browsing boutique shops, trying street food, wandering through art galleries, or simply lounging on a beach.

And in the evening, we recommend a farewell rooftop party with a view of the sea and the whole city, lit up by thousands of lights.

Overnight stay in Cartagena.

Day 14

Until our next meeting, Colombia!

Depending on the flight time, we have time for a final coffee or a short walk. Transfer to the airport and departure back home.

The journey ends, but the memories of Colombia last forever – like the aroma of coffee, the rhythm of Latin music, and sunsets over the savannas.
