Contrasts of Colombia (Flower Festival)

Bogota → Cartagena 14 days Up to 16

About this trip

Colombia is a country of contrasts, and this trip is built around that idea. You move between the Caribbean coast, the green hills of the coffee region, and the cities and villages of the Andes, taking in a country that rarely stays still.

This trip is timed around Medellin's Flower Festival, giving you a chance to see the city at one of its liveliest moments alongside its more everyday transformation from the Escobar era to now.

Along the way you also spend time in Bogota and the small Andean town of Salento, so the trip covers both city culture and quieter rural pace over the two weeks.

What you'll do

  • See the pre-Columbian gold collection at Bogota's Gold Museum
  • Walk the historic streets of La Candelaria in Bogota
  • Wander the cobbled streets of Salento in the Andean foothills
  • Spot hummingbirds among the giant wax palms near Salento
  • Experience Medellin during its Flower Festival
  • Learn how Medellin has reshaped its identity since the Pablo Escobar era
Good to know
  • Timed to coincide with Medellin's Flower Festival, so book with that season in mind
  • Covers coast, coffee region, and Andean cities, so expect a fair amount of travel between stops
  • Mixes city sightseeing with slower-paced village time in Salento
