Tailor-made holidays in Colombia

Colombia is twice the size of France and takes its name from Christopher Columbus who, although he didn’t discover the country, first laid foot here in 1502. Until recently Colombia may not have sprung to mind as a possible holiday destination. What will you find there? Friendly people and beautiful colonial cities. You can travel from south to north and from highlands to lowlands and experience the excitement of a destination which is still hardly touched by tourism. There are mountains, jungle, coffee, empty beaches, orchids and palm trees.

Ally, Colombia expert: “The country has it all; incredible natural scenery, ancient ruins, stunning beaches, colonial architecture, mountains, the Amazon, Latin beauty queens and some of the warmest and friendliest Latin American people. Yet I found Colombia to be “off the beaten trek” and recommend exploring this hidden gem before main stream tourism discovers it.”

The capital Bogota is the third highest city after La Paz and Quito at 2,630m. There are well known UNESCO protected sites such as the magnificent walled city of Cartagena, the Villa de Leyva a scenic five hour drive away from Bogota and others less well known such as Barichara and Popayan.
