Itinerary - Colombia 360° Collection

Roundtrip flights or transportation to reach the destination are not included in the package, so you have the flexibility to choose when and from where you want to depart! 

Check in at the hotel in Bogotá and meet up with the rest of your WeRoaders! Let’s start off on the right foot. What better way to get to know each other than by gathering around a table? And we’ve already chosen the perfect spot: Andrés DC, a true Bogotá institution. Let’s share a drink and raise a toast to the beginning of our adventure together.

We wake up leisurely in the Colombian capital, still in disbelief that we're here. After enjoying a hearty breakfast, we kick off the day with a guided tour to explore Bogotá. Must-see stops? The Botero Museum, Chorro de Quevedo, and Plaza de Bolívar—though there’s much more in store, but we don’t want to spoil all the surprises!

In the afternoon, we switch things up: for just a few euros, we take a cable car ride to the summit of Cerro de Monserrate. The altitude is high, and we’ll likely be out of breath by the time we reach the top, but the breathtaking view of the vast city nestled in a deep valley will be well worth it. As we watch the sun begin to set, our stomachs start to rumble—time for dinner! What Colombian delicacies will we savor this evening?

It’s time to say goodbye to the city because it’s coffee time! This morning, we catch a short domestic flight to Eje Cafetero, arriving just in time to savor our first cup of rich Colombian coffee.

We head to a traditional, family-owned coffee plantation, where the farmer and his family produce their own coffee brand. Here, we’ll have the opportunity to witness the entire coffee-making process, from plant to cup. We’ll stroll through the fields, learning about the cultivation and harvesting of coffee beans before watching a demonstration of the best brewing techniques. Notebooks ready!

Ready to see the tallest wax palms in the world? This morning, we dive into the heart of Colombia’s nature by exploring the Cocora Valley, located just 15 km east of Salento and extending up to the slopes of the Parque Natural de los Nevados. As soon as we arrive, the towering wax palms that dominate the landscape will catch your eye—they can reach up to 60 meters in height and are Colombia's national tree. Accompanied by our local guide, we embark on a trek through the valley, crossing forests and rivers. If we’re lucky and attentive, we might even spot the hummingbirds that call this area home.

After a few hours immersed in nature, we arrive in Salento. Here, we can browse numerous shops selling authentic Colombian crafts. It may be only day four, but is it ever too early to pick up some travel souvenirs? As the sun begins to set, we head to the Mirador, where we can take in breathtaking views of Salento and the surrounding countryside—before returning to the centre for a delicious dinner.

This morning, we head out early for a very special destination. After a short flight from Salento, we’ll land in Medellín, the city of eternal spring. Nestled in a narrow valley, Medellín has an infectious energy that you can feel the moment you step onto its streets. Known for its remarkable transformation, it has a complicated past: this is the city from which Pablo Escobar built his drug trafficking empire.

While it was once one of the most dangerous cities in the world, it has evolved into a vibrant and innovative metropolis, brimming with beautiful parks and warm, welcoming people.

We’ll explore Medellín's transformation by touring La Comuna 13, a neighbourhood perched on the mountainside that was once the epicentre of drug cartel violence. Over the past few decades, various community projects—including an ingenious network of outdoor escalators—have helped turn this once-impoverished area into one of the liveliest and most exciting parts of the city. We’ll ride the escalators, admire the vibrant street art, and gain insight into Medellín’s past and present with the help of a local guide.

oday, we’ll take a day trip to Guatapé, a charming town known as the most colourful in all of Colombia. Here, we can relax and soak up the laid-back atmosphere before heading to the famous El Peñón de Guatapé. This granite monolith is a national monument, and with a climb of 659 steps to reach the top, the panoramic views of the sprawling lake and vast green mountains are simply breathtaking.

In the evening, we return to Medellín, where we’ll experience a taste of its vibrant nightlife. Are we ready to dance?

We have to say goodbye to Medellín but don't worry: the time to leave Colombia has not yet come - on the contrary! We have two more days to enjoy the crystal clear waters of this sea, so ready to set off again, this time in the direction of Baru , which we reach by sea! Baru is an island-peninsula not far from Cartagena, connected to the mainland by a bridge, and will be our home for the next two days. We settle into the hotel, put on our swimsuits, and are ready to dive! There are many activities we can do: snorkeling, kayaking, water sports, SUP... or simply relax in the sun and work on your tan! We enjoy these last days of sea and sun before returning to Bogota.

We must (reluctantly!) say goodbye to the sea—for now, don’t worry! Our journey takes us to Cartagena, where we’ll enjoy a guided tour of the Getsemaní neighbourhood, famous for its vibrant murals and relaxed, bohemian vibe. Let’s get our cameras ready, as there are plenty of picturesque spots perfect for snapping some photos!

After a well-deserved siesta, we’re in for another adventure... a salsa lesson! No one is born a dancer, and we’re all in this together for this exciting challenge. There’s only one rule: have fun! We’ll wrap up the evening by immersing ourselves in the lively streets of Cartagena—having learned the basics of salsa, we’re now ready to dance with the locals!

What better way to end our Colombian adventure than on a high note? We couldn't resist returning to the sea, so today we're off on a full-day boat excursion to the stunning Rosario Islands. With drinks and snacks loaded onto the boat, we set sail to explore the 27 palm-fringed islands with their white sandy beaches that make up this beautiful archipelago. We’ll swim, snorkel, and, with the area being a National Park, the marine life is nothing short of spectacular.

After a day of fun, we return to the mainland, our skin kissed by the sun, the wind still in our hair, and sand between our toes... all accompanied by that smile you only get after a truly unforgettable day. But the adventure doesn’t stop there: we relax in the hotel just long enough to recharge, and then we’re ready for our final evening together. It’s time to raise a glass to ourselves and to this epic journey, before the celebration continues through the lively streets of Cartagena.

Goodbye, and see you next WeRoad adventure!
