Colombia is an emerging destination, enjoying stability and economic prosperity after decades of conflict. Our specialists have been visiting for a number of years now, and they’d encourage you to travel to Colombia before everyone else catches on.
Like South America in miniature, Colombia is a lively medley of Andean cities, Amazon basin, colonial towns and stately haciendas. But, it has its own one-of-a-kind characteristics, too: wax palms rising like ships’ masts in the Zona Cafetera (where you can taste some of the world’s best coffee), a cathedral hollowed out of a salt mine, and San Agustín, a set of pre-Inca ruins that still confound archaeologists. Our specialists can arrange for your vacation to Colombia to take in the urban regeneration projects of Medellín, the splashy buildings of Cartagena — painted as if to match Colombia’s array of tropical fruits — and private island hotels off the Caribbean coast.
