Colombia - Discover Colombia (15 days)

One of South America's most beautiful and interesting countries,Colombia is still largely undiscovered despite its amazing variety of landscapes, sights and cultures. On this diverse two-week trip we experience the contrasts between the lively and cosmopolitan capital, Bogota, the atmospheric cobbled streets and well-preserved colonial buildings of Cartagena, and the laid-back and welcoming countryside. We walk at high altitude amongst the snowy peaks of Los Nevados National Park, explore the rolling hills of the central Coffee Zone, as well as taking time out to relax in hammocks on the superb Caribbean beaches of Tayrona National Park.
