This is an experience like no other, featuring a blend of modern urbanscape and colonial charm to give you the best of old and new Colombia.
Starting in Medellin with its gritty, dangerous past a quarter century ago and now a sustainable model of urban revitalization, renowned for its transformation and today considered one of the safest cities in South America. Experience its different communities securely, including the once-infamous La Comuna 13, see amazing street art and, of course, meet with members of the LGBT+ community who work tirelessly to elevate both this city and its people. We include a picnic lunch with a community leader at the historic Castle Museum. Take a day-long journey out of Medellin to discover Colombia’s most colorful colonial town, Guatape, and try your hand – or foot – at climbing the world’s third largest rock.
Then take in Colombia’s most-loved destination, Cartagena, and enjoy a tour through its historic and colorful walled old town that helped it achieve UNESCO World Heritage status in 1974. But there’s so much more Cartagena has to offer visitors and you’ll also experience an island-hopping tour by private boat and enjoy some of the city’s best beaches.
