Discover how to travel differently in Colombia.
Hidden in Colombia’s vast jungles lies an enticing untouched secret. Swallowed by forest for 1,200 years and sprinkled with gold, jewels, and human sacrificial sites, the ruins are 650 years older than Machu Picchu but have only recently been accessed. Known as the Ciudad Perdida or the Lost City, this ancient site is therefore one of South America’s most remarkably concealed gems.
Lesser know that the cuisine of neighbours Brazil and Argentina, but full of rich flavours, home grown ingredients and incredible combinations, Colombian food is as diverse as it is dazzling. The growing foodie scene in Colombia is particularly exciting and locals are therefore rightly proud of their famous dishes. Try the national dish Bandeja Paisa, a carnivores dream Fritanga, a bowl of sancocho, try snacking Arepas, and of course South America favourite; Empanadas, which in Colombia have a unique twist… deep fried. Be sure to try some of this delicious food on your adventure holiday to Colombia.
Where wildlife meets paradise. 35 miles of stunning palm fringed beaches is a perfect way to relax then cool off with a swim. For those who can’t sit still, trek in the incredible biodiverse National Park along the numerous walking trails. Covered by virgin tropical forest the park is inhabited by over 100 species of mammals, 200 species of birds and 50 species of reptiles. A perfect end to your tailor made eco holiday to Colombia. We can include this incredible national park in the best adventure holiday to Colombia.
An unbelievably beautiful sight with changing colours that look as though they are melting in the clear waters. The 61 mile long river is found in Serrania de la Macarena National Park, and is best visited July-October to witness one of Mother Natures most impressive sights. The ‘liquid rainbow’ colours are formed by specific seasonal growth of aquatic plants and this phenomenon occurs nowhere else on earth. Therefore if travel dates work, will can include this magical spectacle in your bespoke Colombia holiday
