“Choose-your-own-excursion” in Cartagena
Experience charming Colombia as you get a taste of Bogotá, wander among the world’s tallest palm trees in Salento, sip the famous coffee of Armenia, and explore the 16th-century architecture of Cartagena. This is an incredible nine-day trip connecting you with local culture, colonial architecture, gourmet cuisine, and stunning nature. The UNESCO World Heritage sites will inspire you, and you’ll have personal experiences with Colombians that the big companies can’t offer. The tour wraps up in Barranquilla, the home of the world’s second-largest Carnaval event. Come travel with us!
