Planning a Trip to Colombia: Essential Travel Tips & Insights

Get expert travel insights for Colombia - discover the best time to visit, ideal trip duration, and must-visit destinations to help you plan and customize your perfect tour.

When to go to Colombia

The best time to visit Colombia is between December and March when the mountains are dry—great for highland vistas. During this time the humid rainforest is also a little more pleasant and coastal areas are nice and hot. The months from September through October are the hottest and wettest, so if you are planning a customized tour to Colombia during this time, make sure to include some beaches and perhaps Tayrona National Park . Learn more .

How long to stay in Colombia

We suggest that you spend at least seven days in Colombia to soak up its major sights. Shorter jaunts are usually meant for specific activities and destinations. For example, a three-day jungle trek in Camino Verde. However, if time is the least of your concern, we suggest that you splurge on a three-week Colombian adventure to truly discover Colombia, its people, and its secrets. Learn more .

Must-visit destinations in Colombia

Bogotà  tops the list as a cultural city, with its gorgeous botanical gardens and a museum dedicated to objects made of gold. The Cocora Valley, for its coffee plantations framed by the towering mountains is also a must-visit. Find time to relax on the beach on San Andrés Island, a true Caribbean gem, and any Colombia custom tour is incomplete without Cartagena , the beating heart of the country’s culture and heritage.

Hi! My name is Alvaro. I combine extensive South America knowledge with a personalized and practical approach to travel planning. Based in Ecuador, I work closely with experienced local teams across Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Colombia. This allows me to design both detailed single-country journeys and seamless multi-country adventures. I take the time to understand your interests, preferred travel style, expectations and budget before creating your itinerary. Rather than offering the same trip to every traveler, I focus on developing a journey that feels personal, realistic and well organized. My regional experience also allows me to recommend the right routes, accommodations and experiences while managing the important logistical details between destinations. Whether you want to explore the Galápagos Islands, Machu Picchu, the Uyuni Salt Flats, Patagonia or Colombia’s vibrant cities, I will help you create a memorable journey. You will also receive reliable local support before and throughout your trip.

Where Coffee Meets the Caribbean

As an Exodus staff member, this was a well-rounded and immersive introduction to Colombia, offering a strong balance of cultural experiences, natural highlights, and local insight. The trip showcases the country's diversity really well and provides genuine sense of how much Colombia has evolved in recent years.

This was a very busy but interesting trip. There were only 4 of us so am not sure how things would have worked out with a group of 16. Particularly when walking through the streets of Bogota. Bogota was my least interesting place to visit. Too crowded. One of my favourite places was Barichara. Peaceful. Pretty. And the hotel was very nice. The hike along the ‘royal road’ was a lovely day. Seeing the countryside and some beautiful birds. The visit to the rammed earth workshop was fascinating and a fun experience. The coffee plantation was a nice visit. Beautiful flowers and birds. For a couple the accommodation was disappointing. The room was large but the bathroom was minuscule. Really needed a revamp. Felt old and grubby especially when compared to the singles rooms in the main house. Beautiful bathrooms. Medellin was very interesting. The cable car was fun. We had an excellent informative guide here. Cartagena was another experience. Hot and busy. Overall I would have preferred to stay in upgraded accommodation. Some of the breakfasts could have been better. An enjoyable trip.

A fantastic country to visit

Colombia is the second most bio-diverse country in the world behind Brazil. The landscape is truly breath-taking. Hilly / mountainous and very green and lush. A bit like New Zealand only with lots more trees, really beautiful. We felt safe the entire time, it's reputation for being a "dodgy place" is no longer justified, the days of drugs and violence are in the past.

A splendid introductory trip

It was a splendid introductory trip. The guides in each city were very good; the the cities themselves were fascinating. We chose our own restaurants which was easy. The museums were quite spectacular, and if you like art Botelo is a master of painting and sculpture. I must say I was confused about the preparatory organization, since it all seemed to be done on-line; and did not come together in a package for us until a few days before we arrived, but in the end the logistics were excellent. The cars and guides arrived on time at every stop, and the hotels were very good. So all in all, well done.

Diana | Traveled in March

Andras was very enthusiastic hard working and caring. He always wanted to give that little bit more. Sometimes instructions were a little bit muddled or contained a bit too much information, but he was always willing to answer questions and he made sure we came to love Colombia. I found the country very interesting and the tour very varied and colourful. It definitely exceeded my expectations.

Great busy trip. Best tour leader I have ever had and I have done many Explore trips. Columbia is a fantastic country and I would highly recommend it. Be prepared for some long travelling days.
