Trekking and diving in nature within the biodiverse mountains of Santa Marta

 

Tourists enjoy ecotourism activities in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.

 

Santa Marta is located in the Colombian Caribbean, and is also known as 'The Pearl of America' for its crystal-clear waters, emerald green mountains, and pristine beaches. This and more make it is an ideal destination when it comes to enjoying sports or adventure activities like trekking in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the highest coastal mountain in the world.

This adventure lasts three to six days, during which you’ll be able to visit places such as the village of Minca, a charming town that shows you the coffee culture of the region. You’ll also pass through the viewpoint of Cerro Kennedy, the highest point of the journey at an altitude of 3,100 m.a.s.l. Finally, you’ll arrive at Ciudad Perdida, the cradle of the Tayrona indigenous community which today is home to the Kogui, Arhuaco, Wiwa, and Kankuamo ethnic groups. These native groups make sure to preserve this paradise, which has been declared by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Site.

Tourism on two-wheels, have the best experience while training

There are two ways to experience this type of tourism in the country. Each promises great immersive experiences both in nature and in remote places of the territory due to the ease of these means of transport.

If you are a biker at heart, there are several routes you can take to enjoy adventure activities in Colombia. Starting from Bogotá, you can easily reach one of the most ‘instagrammable’ places in the country: The Tatacoa Desert. If you have more experience riding, you can even go to Medellín or take the “route of the sun” which will take you across the beaches of the Colombian Caribbean.

 

The Tatacoa Desert is the perfect place for adventure tourism in Colombia.

 

On the other hand, if cycling is your thing, Caldas is your region. We invite you to carry out one of the most demanding cyclist challenges: Alto de Letras. It is the longest ascent in the world, which for 50 miles will keep you in position until you reach 3,600 m.a.s.l. On tour, you’ll go through almost all of the climates that Colombia has since it starts from San Sebastián de Mariquita at 495 meters above sea level, near the Magdalena River.

 

Heritage destinations, fall in love with the colonial charm of Mompóx

Much of the charm of the destinations that are on the route of Colombian heritage towns lies in its cultural and historical richness and in the charm of its colonial architecture. As such, when you decide to travel to our country, we recommend that you include Santa Cruz de Mompox in your trip itinerary.

If luxury travel is your thing, this is an excellent destination as you can enjoy the Jazz Festival in Mompox, an event where music and gastronomy are the main attraction. Other activities that we recommend include visiting the Santa Bárbara Church (one of the most 'instagrammable' places for your photos) and passing through the Rosario de Mompox Cemetery, which together with Barichara are considered major works of art in the country. Other stops to consider include the Church of the Immaculate Conception and the market square.

You can also visit the historic port of Magangué and fall in love with the colorful sunset on a ferry ride across the Magdalena River.

 

Enjoy the unforgettable experience of flying over Chiribiquete

Exploring some of the protected areas of the country and the world is a privilege that you have to experience at least once in your life. Therefore, the Serranía de Chiribiquete National Natural Park should be part of your trip itinerary.

 

Pictograms painted by indigenous people Parque Nacional Natural Serranía de Chiribiquete.

 

It is about 4,268,095 hectares of extensive and lush vegetation interrupted by an immense rocky plateau with the largest number of pictograms painted by indigenous people located in the Colombian Amazon region. This extensive protected area is known as "the greatest natural wonder of Colombia" and is included in UNESCO’s list as a Natural and Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

To arrive at this wonderful destination, you can take a plane on one of the 4 weekly flights that some tour operators have from the El Dorado airport in Bogotá, a flight that lasts 1 hour and 20 minutes.

 

Indulge in the vibrant culture of Colombia through its gastronomic experiences

The great variety of flavors of Colombian gastronomy will surprise you on your trip. While you visit the different regions of the country, you will be able to savor a different flavor with each meal.

 

Throughout the country, you can enjoy the characteristic dishes of the region, which we recommend you try, such as the sancocho, a traditional dish of the Caribbean region. On the other hand, when you travel to the coffee region, you can’t leave without trying the bandeja paisa, a dish that is a true gastronomic emblem of the region. In addition, you will find typical beverages of the area such as the delicious aguapanela and coffee, which has positioned itself as the best in the world.

 

You can also try the great diversity of snacks that you can find on the streets of our main cities, such as the empanadas or arepas. We recommend that you visit local restaurants where you can enjoy these delicious meals prepared by expert chefs. This way, you’ll get to know the essence of Colombian cuisine with the best service.
