LUXURY COLOMBIA HOLIDAYS

ABOUT THE ITINERARY

If your perfect holiday consists of glorious beaches, unspoiled natural landscapes and lively cities with extremely colourful histories, Colombia could prove to be your ultimate destination.

You begin your tour in busy Bogot谩, city of grand Spanish mansions and museums with treasures that include thousands of gold objects and paintings by artists like Picasso, Monet and Renoir.

From Bogot谩 you will visit the picturesque Coffee Region, staying at a charming hacienda before visiting one of South America’s most vibrant cities, Medell铆n. Once one of the most dangerous places in the world, the ‘City of Eternal Spring’ has had a renaissance in the last decade and has seen a huge social transformation, culminating in a vibrant art scene and a world-famous flower festival.

From Medell铆n you will fly to Cartagena, where you鈥檒l be walking in the footsteps of pirates, slaves, buccaneers and Spanish generals. Your final stop is the remote and picturesque Isla de Providencia, surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Caribbean and white sandy beaches. The perfect place to end before flying home.

叠翱骋翱罢脕

On arrival in Bogot谩 you will be taken to your hotel, close to lovely Virrey Park in the city鈥檚 most prized entertainment and business area. You鈥檒l have time to explore before your city tour shows you the historic La Candelaria area with its charming old Spanish casonas featuring wrought iron window grilles, balconies, courtyards and beautiful gardens.

You鈥檒l see the cathedral, and the statue of Simon Bolivar in the old Plaza Mayor 鈥 once a market place, bull ring and the scene of military demonstrations and executions. The Museo Botero is next, featuring paintings by Picasso, Renoir, Dali, Matisse, Monet and Giacometti. You鈥檒l then end your tour in the glittering Museo de Oro which contains over 34,000 gold objects and 20,000 exhibits from cultures ranging from the Quimbaya and Calima to the Tumaco and Magdalena.

In the afternoon you have the option of soaring up to Monserrate 鈥 500 metres above Bogot谩 鈥 by cable car or funicular for some unmissable views. The following day sees you amongst the flower plantations and impressive salt mines of Zipaquir谩 鈥 there鈥檚 even a vast cathedral built of salt 鈥 as well as colonial churches rich in extravagant period decoration.

You鈥檒l be staying in a charming hacienda close to the area鈥檚 coffee plantations where you鈥檒l gain an insight into the growing, harvesting, preparation, toasting and final production of world renowned Colombian coffee.

Day 6-8

惭贰顿贰尝尝脥狈

Your next journey sees you entering the central Andean Highlands to reach Colombia鈥檚 second most important city. Medell铆n has undergone a huge transformation over recent years, and has since been awarded the title of the most innovative city in the world. It is certainly a city dedicated to art and culture. La Plazoleta, for example, has over 20 Botero sculptures and the Museum of Antioquia is one of Colombia鈥檚 most celebrated museums with exhibits from the pre-Columbian, to the Independence and modern periods.

More unconventionally, your tour begins in graffiti-rich La Comuna 13 鈥 once one of the city鈥檚 most dangerous neighbourhoods 鈥 where local spray paint artists will explain the importance of the graffiti art form as a tool of communication. The following day you鈥檒l visit the the colourful town of Guatap茅 and the Piedra de el Pen虄ol, a giant granite rock which has sweeping views of the surrounding Pe帽ol-Guatap茅 Reservoir.

You鈥檒l be staying at a charming B&B in the buzzing neighbourhood of Poblado, with lots of excellent restaurants and bars on your doorstep. Despite being in such a vibrant part of town, Patio del Mundo is an oasis of calm and has a beautiful outdoor breakfast area, surrounded by tropical plants.

Stay: Three nights at Patio del Mundo 鈥 Bed & breakfast

Cartagena | Ultimate Travel Company
Day 9-11

CARTAGENA

Take a flight from Medell铆n to Cartagena and you鈥檒l be walking through a history that includes Caribe Indians, Spanish Conquistadors, slaves, Inquisitors, pirates and buccaneers. Today the great city鈥檚 fortifications are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the whole place is a treasure house of grandiose religious and civil buildings, quaint streets with balconied houses and myriad twisting alleyways.

You鈥檒l be staying in a beautiful boutique hotel, in the midst of Cartagena鈥檚 historic heart. You鈥檒l go on sightseeing trips to the Monasterio and Iglesia de la Popa with fantastic 360 degree panoramic views of the city, port and ocean. You鈥檒l also tour the San Felipe Fortress, built to repel pirate attacks, and the churches and convents of the old city, culminating in Bovedas, the handicraft market built into the archways of the city wall 鈥 previously used as an arsenal and prison.

Evenings can be spent at one of Cartagena鈥檚 many fashionable cocktail bars or excellent restaurants.

Stay: Three nights at the Ananda Hotel 鈥 Bed & breakfast

Providencia | Ultimate Travel Company
Day 12-14

PROVIDENCIA

You now swap the ancient city of Cartagena for a stay on the sun kissed Caribbean island of Providencia. A short flight from Cartagena will take you to Santa Marta, before another hopper flight sees you arrive at the stunning and remote island fo Providencia.

Just off the coast of Nicaragua, but belonging to Colombia, the island is surrounded by turquoise water and being such a pain to get to, sees far fewer tourists than nearby San Andres. The island has a laidback Caribbean feel, beautiful beaches and the crystal clear waters are excellent for snorkelling and diving. Enjoy your final few days of relaxation before flying home.

Stay: Three nights at Hotel Deep Blue 鈥 Bed & breakfast

Day 15

FLY HOME

On day fifteen you will board your home, via San Andres and Bogot谩.

Note: There are international flight options from Cartagena, but nothing direct to the UK with Avianca. If flying to the US or flying via Amsterdam, it is possible to avoid flying back to Bogot谩.
