Colombia offers travelers plenty of options when it comes to things to do. Here are just a few of the best things to put on your Colombia itinerary.
1. Visit Colombia’s Coffee Region
Colombia is the world’s third-largest producer of coffee in the world. Therefore, visiting Quindío, the country’s coffee hub, is a must! Learn about the harvesting of coffee berries, removal of pulp, drying, and roasting of the beans. Of course, you will also be able to sample the freshest cup of coffee you've ever had.
2. Explore the Streets of Old Town Cartagena
The city of Cartagena is Colombia's second-oldest city, and it was an important trading center for the Spanish colonial period for centuries. It offers a labyrinth of streets to explore, lined with colorful, old colonial houses interrupted only by grand plazas and churches.
3. Hike the Cocora Valley
The Cocora Valley is a unique place where some of the tallest wax palms (up to 68m tall) in the world grow. You can hike the valley on a day trip, with a pause at the lovely Hummingbird House, a café where you can spot these tiny birds up close.
4. Spot Wildlife at Tayrona National Park
Spend a day exploring the Colombian Caribbean coast at Tayrona National Park. The first part includes a hike through a tropical forest, where you might find monkeys. Once you reach the beach, you’ll have the opportunity to relax on some of the most beautiful coasts Colombia has to offer, so you can have a nice time before hiking back.
5. Discover the Lost City
This tough five-day round-trip hike to Ciudad Perdida, an incredible pre-Columbian city, is one of the greatest things to do on a trip to Colombia. This lost city dates back more than 1,000 years and is definitely worth the trek through the lush vegetation and muddy trails of Colombia’s jungle.
