Colombia vacations 2020 & 2021
Travel in times of uncertainty
With practical guidance, our flexibility promise and inspirational tools for travel planning, you can book with confidence with Audley.
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 archeologists. 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.
