An introduction to the country
Museums, neighborhoods and markets give cultural signs. Planning an arrival at a mild pace leaves time to settle and discover the city gradually.
Travel Ideas in ColombiaTravel to Colombia.
Travel to Colombia.
The colours of an encounter.
The streets of Carthage, the coffee landscapes and the neighborhoods of Bogotá. It is a discovery that builds region by region.
At every wish, his journey
Cities, countryside or the Caribbean?
Colombia brings together reliefs, cities and very different cultures. A first trip gains to choose a few complementary environments rather than a journey across the country. The time of meetings and trips is part of the project.
These ideas help you to choose a direction. Caroline then studies with you the steps, links and possible benefits for your dates.
Places, atmospheres and desiresThe Bogota The Coffee Region by Carthage
What you come to find.
Inhabited landscapes
Villages, plantations and roads give a different reading of the daily life. The content of the visits and the possibilities of walking are chosen according to your pace.
A taste for the coast
Urban heritage and street life make up a distinct stage of the mountain. A swimming pool extension is considered with its access, its atmosphere and the available nights.
Drawing the right steps
Build a route at the scale of regions
The reliefs change the road times. Connecting two points may require an internal flight; the organization must incorporate transfer, timetables and useful days before fixing the visits.
An itinerary idea to personalise
Bogotá, a coffee region and Carthage form three possible atmospheres. Depending on your duration, two of them can be enough. Another region requires a review of the travel balance and local recommendations.

The guide to make your choices
Prepare your discovery.
Which period should you choose?
Highness, coast and valleys do not have the same conditions. We study the dates for the precise steps and check local possibilities at the time of preparing the project.
What will influence your budget
Transportation to destination, the category and location of the nights, travel on the site and accompanied visits are compared together. Give Caroline a cover and your priorities: the project can be adjusted by playing on the steps, comfort or duration, before you stop the services.
Before booking
The formalities and conditions of access are checked for your nationality, your situation and the scheduled dates. Updated practical information is to be consulted with the competent authorities; the report describes the services effectively offered.
Before you launch
Your questions about Colombia.
Should we visit all the major cities?
not to. The choice depends on what you are looking for: culture, landscapes or coastal stay. A selection of deep regions can be more pleasant than a flight chain.
How can I plan my Colombia trip with Odyssée Voyages?
Contact Caroline by phone or by email with your dates, duration, number of travellers and priorities. A first study allows to clarify the possibilities, before any detailed proposal.
Are these ideas matching an already scheduled accompanying start?
not to. This page is an inspiration for a personalized project. The accompanied departies actually published are presented in the accompanied travel section, with their own information.
Take discovery further
Cities, coffee landscapes and the Caribbean: create coherent contrasts
Bogotá, the coffee landscapes and the light of Carthage don’t give neither the same days nor the same altitudes. In Colombia, some complementary sets leave time for transitions and the life of places. Travel becomes more personal when the regions are chosen for their real contrasts.
Markets, cuisine and architecture tell the country differently than a single big visit. A village spot, cultivated reliefs and a break around the coffee can mark as much as a site expected. Several nights in a region allow the views to vary, rather than accumulate flights.
Two directions to shape your journey
What thread will connect your itinerary?
Ideas for discovery to personalise according to your dates, pace and local possibilities.
Bogotá and the landscapes of the coffee region
The capital can take a step ahead in the coffee area. In Bogotá, neighborhoods, collections and views are chosen by proximity, with time to walk and make pauses. The arrival and departure days are not automatically full-to-available visit days.
Around Salento and the Cocora Valley, landscapes and villages give a different scale. A visit to the cafe takes its meaning if it presents work and knowledge. Walk, travel and time at the camp are specified before multiplying the outputs or changing addresses daily.
Cartagena and another perspective on the coast
Carthage is a city to discover, not just a photograph of colorful facades. Routes, places and history deserve many times. An address in the historic centre or elsewhere changes the atmosphere of the stay, the ease of walking and return after visits and evening.
An extension on the coast or in a nearby island can be considered with accurate expectations on beach, rest and services. Carthage and Santa Marta do not confuse into a single stage. The connections must keep days on place, rather than absorb the essential part of the coastal supplement.
The number of regions
An internal flight also adds transfers and installation. Two or three deep regions can bring more than a succession of short passes across the whole country.
The property and its surroundings
The charm of a house, urban animation and quiet countryside meet different desires. Eating and travel helps to choose the nights as well as photographs.
A respectful encounter
An exploitation or workshop is discovered for its content and conditions of reception. The exchange should not be presented as a guaranteed scene or as a simple image to report.
Give the journey the right pace
A dozen nights or more allow you to reflect on multiple environments, depending on the connections. A short period of time calls for two regions to be selected. Discoveries and access must always be studied for the specific places: a general map is not enough to build the days of the stay.
Extend without spreading too thin
Another country can extend a long trip, but Colombia already offers a lot of possible returns. Medellín, another Andin sector or a new coastal approach can give a second project. Keeping these desires for another time sometimes leaves more freedom to the first discovery.
