Make a beeline for Medellin tours, an absolute must if you’re planning to visit Colombia in August – when the city hosts its spectacular feria de las Flores (flower festival).

With more days at your disposal, you can delve into Colombia's rich coffee culture in the Zona Cafetera, where emerald-green coffee plantations stretch as far as the eye can see. Here, you can learn about the intricate process of coffee production while savouring the aroma of freshly brewed Colombian coffee.

Colombia’s rugged landscapes provide the perfect playground for those seeking more outdoor adventure. Explore the rugged terrain of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, home to the indigenous Kogi people and the awe-inspiring Lost City.

The perfect end to Colombia tours? The Caribbean coast, of course, where picturesque towns beckon with their pristine beaches and laid-back vibe. And, because this is Colombia, you can still squeeze in awe-inspiring historical sightseeing. Explore the colourful streets of Cartagena, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where colonial architecture meets vibrant Caribbean culture. Indulge in fresh seafood delicacies, dance to the rhythm of salsa, and soak in the tropical sun on the nearby Rosario Islands.
