Colombia Holidays

The tallest palm trees on Earth, rising out of the cloud forest. A cathedral carved deep inside a mountain of salt. And at the end of the road, the walled city of Cartagena, on the Caribbean. Visit Colombia with Travelfab. This is one of our favourite ways to see Colombia, from the Andes to the Caribbean. Start in Bogotá, high in the mountains, and go deep underground to the Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá, carved by the miners themselves. Walk the old town of La Candelaria, see the ancient gold of the Gold Museum, and look out over the whole city from Monserrate. Fly to the coffee region, walk under the giant wax palms of the Cocora Valley, and wander the little hill town of Salento. On a coffee farm, follow the bean from the branch to the roaster, right where it grows. Then fly on to Medellín, and ride the metro cable up to Comuna 13, a neighbourhood remade by its own street art. Head west to the colonial town of Santa Fe de Antioquia, then on to Guatapé, with its painted houses, and climb the great rock of El Peñol, for the view across the lakes. Then fly north to Cartagena, on the Caribbean. See the fortress that kept the pirates out, walk the walled city from the Clock Tower gate, wander the street art of Getsemaní, and end the day with a Caribbean sunset. Eleven days, with three short internal flights instead of long drives, a guide throughout, flights from London included, and full ATOL protection. But your Colombia holiday can take any shape you like. Your own dates, your own pace, travelling privately, or adding a few days on the Rosario islands. Tell us what you have in mind, and a Latin America specialist will plan it around you. Plan your Colombia holiday at travelfab.co.uk.
