When you imagine Colombia, you think of amazing colours, delicious coffee, vibrant landscapes that reunite mountain’s heights with ocean’s depths, cosmopolitan cities and, of course, rich history of a nation protected by its Gods.
Colombia has such a colorful personality that we will keep discovering along the way, while exploring the epic Andes, coffee plantations, loud modern cities surrounded by skyscrapers, museums where history is so pregnant it will give us a glimpse on the past of this rich country. Open up your senses to feel and explore the ancient, walled cities and the lost civilizations, interact with the exotic wildlife in the luxuriant Amazon rainforest and then enjoy learning about their traditions while indulging in the luxuriant taste of the local food.
We will let ourselves get lost a little bit in the bustling cities of Cartagena and we will enjoy the sun-kissed beaches of the Caribbean coast.
Following your enthusiasm, you will arrive in Bogota (ideally around 7:30 pm) and will get ready to be mesmerized by the scenic historical area of Bogota that welcomes you fully.
You will spend your first night in Colombia in “La Candelaria” district of Bogota nearby traditional cafes, animated bars and lots of street art.
Enjoy the afternoon flight across Colombia and let your dreams guide you to Guatape. Enjoy the city centre, a delicious meal and then have some rest – keep some enthusiasm for the upcoming adventurous days.
Are you ready? Day 3 comes with lots of challenges: let yourself be amazed by the spectacular Peñol de Piedra, take a tour to the famous Escobar Mansion, or for the cheeky ones, embark on a helicopter ride or hike in Eco-park.
New day, new horizons. After a relaxed visit to Old Peñol and a quick lunch, you will discover another part of Colombia: the never-ending shores of the Caribbean Sea in beautiful Cartagena. You will spend the night in Carta and feel the ocean breeze on your skin.
Take a deep breath and feel the life of Cartagena, enjoy a sip of coffee, go shopping for souvenirs. Optionally, you can relax your mind and spirit laying on the beach, kayaking, snorkling, or visiting the mud volcano of the area.
Say goodbye to Cartagena for now and hello to the sunny Santa Marta while enjoying a 5 hours ride along the Caribbean coast.
Save all the good energy of the ocean in your heart and let’s put those hiking boots on! Day 7 is the day when we leave Tayrona behind and we hike our way up to visit an indigenous village – full of magic and traditions. And we will spend the night there surrounded by their welcoming hearts and well preserved traditions.
As the sun rises, we will hike our way back to Tayrona and settle for 4 amazing days of sun, beaches, nature, and for those who want to connect with the energy of the area, with some yoga classes.
The 1st day at the beach in the sun leaves us relaxed while enjoying some quiet time with ourselves. And of course, some yoga classes for the mind and spirit.
The 2nd day at the beach marks the second day of our yoga retreat. You should feel more relaxed and disconnected by now from the everyday worries.
Inhale relaxation, exhale stress. The 3rd day under the sun. Grab your yoga mat, a bottle of water and let’s enjoy some quality time together.
The final day at the beach during our short yoga retreat will find us all in a perfect balance with ourselves. Keep the energy of the ocean and the quietness of the past few days inside your soul. Now it is time we return to Tayrona, where we will spend an amazing day and night inside the Tayrona National Park, UNESCO heritage.
Get lost in nature, breathe and explore the nature reserve, the sunny and vibrant beaches, feel the ocean, and admire its underwater beauty with some snorkling sessions. Or remain grounded with a horse riding session followed by a flavourful coffee.
Last but not least day in the amazing and colourful Colombia. A part of the group will spend the last night in Colombia, in the vibrant Bogota. Last-minute souvenir shopping and saying goodbye to this wonderful experience are a must! Memoirs of a lifetime!
