Bogota, Tayrona & Caribbean Nature Tour
9 DAYS Starting from $4,290 per person
Don’t forget your hiking boots and swimsuit when embarking on this 9-day itinerary featuring Colombia’s Tayrona National Park and the tropical San Bernardo Archipelago. Begin your expedition in the vibrant capital city of Bogota before flying to the Santa Marta area to traipse through the natural wonders of Tayrona National Park. From here, travel along the Caribbean coastline to historic Cartagena de Indias, the jumping-off point for the San Bernardo islands where you’ll spend a few unstructured days soaking up the idyllic island life.
Trip at a Glance
HIGHLIGHTS
- Get to know Colombia’s dazzling capital Bogota, including the cobblestoned streets of the La Candelaria district, the sprawling Paloquemano Market, and the decadently chubby figures of Colombia’s famed artist Fernando Botero.
- Tour the impressive Salt Cathedral of Zipaquira, a spectacularly unique church built 200 meters underground within the tunnels of a salt mine.
- Hike through the Colombian jungle on a full-day Tayrona National Park tour. Go for a dip in natural pools along a seldom-visited path and relax with a picnic lunch in an idyllic beach setting.
- Stay in a boutique hotel in the colonial quarters of Cartagena de Indias, a delightful city on the Caribbean coast. This UNESCO World Heritage Site was once an important 16th-century trade hub for businesspeople and pirates alike.
- Sail to Mucura Island, part of the tropical San Bernardo Archipelago off Cartagena’s coast, for some time filled with Caribbean sun, snorkeling, kayaking, and water adventures.
