CARTAGENA
This romantic city has a charming colonial city center. Beautiful boutiques, restaurants, and it is wonderful to wander around here. Go into an old-fashioned bar and enjoy all the experiences around you.
MINCA
Welcome to the jungle. The village is charming and has a nice laid-back atmosphere. There’s such beautiful plant and animal life here in this lovely place, and it’s time to visit Tayrona National Natural Park.
MEDELLíN
We are absolutely in love with this city. It’s modern and has a warm atmosphere, with plenty to offer and lots of green spaces. I could really see myself living here for a while—there are great restaurants, bars, and shops; it’s so inspiring. Tip: take a day to explore Comuna 13. This unique neighborhood is full of creativity and culture.
GUATAPÉ
If you're in Colombia, you definitely won't want to miss this. Climbing El Peñón de Guatapé, which has more than 600 steps to the top, is a must-do. In this area, you'll find Pablo Escobar's old country house called 'La Manuela,' named after his daughter. The town of Guatapé feels like a fairy tale, with its beautiful colors and charming streets.
SANTA ROSA DE CABAL
I have never seen so many coffee plants all in one place, just mountains of them. We stayed on a coffee plantation with a beautiful view of the valley. Don’t forget to visit the lovely Santa Rosa de Cabal waterfall. It felt like paradise to drive around all these green mountains.

VALLE DE COCORA
The Valle de Cocora hike was absolutely stunning — tall palm trees, horses, and breathtaking views of the valley. We climbed through the jungle and crossed rivers on hanging bridges; it truly felt like paradise. The town was fun too! One night, we played pool in an old Colombian bar surrounded by a group of older locals. We had such a great time here.
BOGATA
Our short visit to Bogotá was lovely. Be sure to take the cable car up to Cerro Monserrate — the views over the city are amazing, and the atmosphere up there is wonderful. Bogotá is also a modern, green city with plenty to enjoy.
