Your Colombia tour starts in Bogotá, the capital city located high in the Andes mountains. On arrival at the airport, you will be met and transferred to your hotel for a 2-night stay. The remainder of the day is free to rest after your journey.

On the following days, you will join a guided Colombia city tour covering the main highlights of Bogotá. This includes La Candelaria, the city’s historic centre, known for its colonial streets and public squares, along with visits to key landmarks within the area.

You will also visit the Gold Museum, which houses one of the most important collections of pre-Hispanic gold artefacts in South America. From there, the itinerary continues to Monserrate Hill, accessed by cable car, offering wide views across the city.

An excursion is included to Zipaquirá, where the Salt Cathedral is located inside an underground salt mine, built as a place of worship and considered one of Colombia’s most distinctive sites.

After breakfast on Day 4, you will check out and continue to the next destination (Medellín) of your Colombia itinerary.

Hotel Virrey Central

Hotel Virrey Central keeps things simple, but that’s part of its appeal. You’re staying right in the historic district, which means you can step outside and almost immediately find yourself in the middle of Bogotá’s older streets. Rooms are simple & functional, comfortable enough to rest and reset after a full day out. The hotel provides several amenities, including the Karare Events Hall and a Mini Market. Guests can enjoy diverse culinary options at the in-house Guadalupe Street Restaurant, which caters to all tastes. You’re close to the main sights such as Bolivar Plaza, Gold Museum, Botero Museum, Chorro de Quevedo square and more, so you spend less time travelling and more time actually experiencing the city.

You will continue your Colombia tour with a flight to Medellín and transfer to your hotel on arrival. The city is known for its contrasting districts, where modern developments sit alongside more traditional neighbourhoods.

A guided tour will take you through selected areas of Medellín, covering key public spaces and districts that reflect the city’s transformation over recent years. The focus is on understanding how different parts of the city function today rather than a single historical narrative.

A full-day excursion is included to Guatapé. The journey takes you outside Medellín to a lakeside town known for its brightly painted buildings (zócalos). From here, you will proceed to El Peñol Rock, where a zigzagging staircase with 740 steps leads to a 360-degree viewing point at the top with wide views of the surrounding reservoir landscape.

After returning to Medellín, the remainder of the time is at leisure. Overnight stays are in the city before continuing to the next stage of your Colombia holiday deal.

ESTELAR Blue Hotel Medellín

ESTELAR Blue is located in El Poblado, a central area of Medellín that works well for both short stays and longer city visits. The hotel is positioned in a part of the city where daily convenience matters with easy access to shopping centres, transport routes, and local dining options just a short distance away. The property focuses on comfort that feels practical rather than decorative. Rooms have been recently renovated and are designed to offer a straightforward, comfortable space to rest after exploring the city. Facilities include an on-site restaurant serving Italian-style cuisine at Fiola Trattoria, a lobby bar, and a fitness area for guests who prefer to stay active during their trip. The hotel is also pet-friendly, which adds flexibility for travellers who need it.

You will continue your Colombia holiday with a flight from Medellín to Cartagena and transfer to your hotel on arrival. The city is located on Colombia’s Caribbean coast and is well-renowned for its historic, UNESCO-listed walled historic centre and preserved colonial architecture.

During your stay, a guided walking tour will cover the main highlights of the old town, including key plazas, streets, and heritage buildings. The area is compact, making it easy to explore further at your own pace once you are familiar with the layout.

The remainder of your time in Cartagena is free for independent exploration. Most activity is centred around the old town, where cafés, restaurants, and local shops are within walking distance. Afterward, you will head back to your hotel for the night before catching your flight to Bogotá the other day.

Don Pedro de Heredia, Cartagena

Don Pedra de Heredia keeps things simple but functional. Rooms are individually styled and vary in layout, some with street views and others facing quieter internal areas. You’ll find essential comforts like air conditioning, Wi-Fi, minibars, and private bathrooms, with design leaning more towards rustic charm than modern luxury. What adds to the stay is the rooftop terrace, where you can sit back and take in panoramic views of Cartagena’s rooftops, especially at quieter times of the day. The hotel also features a small pool area and an on-site restaurant serving breakfast each morning. Its biggest advantage is location, you’re already inside the Walled City, meaning most of Cartagena’s main squares, streets, and cultural spots are just a short walk away.

Once you arrive in Bogota, you will be transferred to your hotel for a final overnight stay. This allows time to rest and prepare for your international return journey. On day 10, you will be transferred to Bogotá Airport for your flight back to the UK, marking the end of your Colombia holiday deal.

Hotel De La Opera Bogotá

Hotel De La Opera sits right in the middle of Bogotá’s historic quarter, but what stands out isn’t just the location, it’s how much of the city’s past still feels present inside the building. The hotel is spread across restored colonial and republican-era houses, so the layout isn’t uniform, and that’s part of the experience. Rooms vary slightly in style, some leaning more traditional, others with a cleaner, updated feel, but all are designed for a comfortable stay rather than a flashy one. There’s also a small spa, indoor pool, and two gourmet restaurants, including one with views over the rooftops of La Candelaria. After a day out, it’s the kind of place that feels calm without being removed from the city.
