Start at the main square, one of the largest in South America, then wander through the town&#8217;s typical, soothing streets. Take the opportunity to discover other emblematic sites such as the Casa Museo Luis Alberto Acu\u00f1a or the Convent del Santo Ecce Homo. Immerse yourself in the peaceful atmosphere of this timeless village, ideal for strolling around and immersing yourself in its fascinating history.    <\/p><p class=\"has-text-color has-background eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-1b316e wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#603d47;background-color:#f4e4e9\"><strong><strong><strong>Day 5: Villa de Leyva<\/strong> <strong>&#8211; Mirador El Santo, Casa Terracota, Museo El Fossil<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p><p class=\"eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-7f2337 wp-block-paragraph\">Start your day with a challenging, uphill hike to the Mirador El Santo, offering breathtaking panoramic views of Villa de Leyva and the surrounding area.

This region is located in the heart of the Colombian Andes, encompassing the departments of Caldas, Quind\u00edo, Risaralda, as well as a portion of the departments of Tolima, Valle del Cauca and Antioquia. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Geographically, it nestles mainly within the majestic Colombian Andes, benefiting from a mountain climate and altitudes perfect for growing coffee. Coffee culture is omnipresent in all aspects of daily life in this region, from the welcoming fincas that open their doors to visitors for tours and tastings, to the local dance, music and cuisine that reflect the very essence of coffee. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, the landscapes of the coffee region are simply breathtaking, with lush green hills covered in coffee trees as far as the eye can see, picturesque waterfalls and lush valleys. Coffee plantations clinging to steep slopes create a unique topography. A visit to this region is much more than just a tourist getaway; it&#8217;s a total immersion in Colombia&#8217;s history, culture and natural beauty.  <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-background eplus-wrapper is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex eplus-styles-uid-4c02e4\" style=\"background-color:#da906b\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column eplus-wrapper is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:30%\"><p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-text-align-center eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-e43070 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color:#da906b\"><strong>LEARN MORE<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column eplus-wrapper is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:70%\"><p class=\"has-background eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-e43070 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color:#f9f3e5\"><a href=\"https:\/\/visitmycolombia.com\/en\/visit-salento-colombian-escape-in-the-heart-of-the-coffee-zone\/\"><strong>Read our full review of Salento here!<\/strong><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"height:3em\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\" wp-block-spacer eplus-wrapper\"><\/div>\n<div  id=\"jtg-18777\" class=\"modula modula-gallery modula-columns\" data-config=\"{&quot;tabletHeight&quot;:800,&quot;mobileHeight&quot;:800,&quot;desktopHeight&quot;:800,&quot;enableTwitter&quot;:false,&quot;enableWhatsapp&quot;:false,&quot;enableFacebook&quot;:false,&quot;enablePinterest&quot;:false,&quot;enableLinkedin&quot;:false,&quot;enableEmail&quot;:false,&quot;randomFactor&quot;:0,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;,&quot;columns&quot;:12,&quot;gutter&quot;:10,&quot;mobileGutter&quot;:10,&quot;tabletGutter&quot;:10,&quot;desktopGutter&quot;:10,&quot;enableResponsive&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;tabletColumns&quot;:2,&quot;mobileColumns&quot;:1,&quot;lazyLoad&quot;:0,&quot;lightboxOpts&quot;:{&quot;animated&quot;:true,&quot;Thumbs&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;modern&quot;,&quot;showOnStart&quot;:false},&quot;Toolbar&quot;:{&quot;display&quot;:{&quot;right&quot;:[&quot;close&quot;]},&quot;enabled&quot;:true},&quot;Carousel&quot;:{&quot;Panzoom&quot;:{&quot;touch&quot;:true},&quot;infinite&quot;:false},&quot;keyboard&quot;:{&quot;Escape&quot;:&quot;close&quot;,&quot;Delete&quot;:&quot;close&quot;,&quot;Backspace&quot;:&quot;close&quot;,&quot;PageUp&quot;:&quot;next&quot;,&quot;PageDown&quot;:&quot;prev&quot;,&quot;ArrowUp&quot;:&quot;prev&quot;,&quot;ArrowDown&quot;:&quot;next&quot;,&quot;ArrowRight&quot;:&quot;next&quot;,&quot;ArrowLeft&quot;:&quot;prev&quot;},&quot;wheel&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;touch&quot;:true,&quot;backdropClick&quot;:&quot;close&quot;,&quot;l10n&quot;:{&quot;CLOSE&quot;:&quot;Close&quot;,&quot;NEXT&quot;:&quot;Next&quot;,&quot;PREV&quot;:&quot;Previous&quot;,&quot;Error&quot;:&quot;The requested content cannot be loaded.

night bus (on the 3rd night) to save a day.<\/sub><\/p><p class=\"eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-7f2337 wp-block-paragraph\">The bus journey takes place in two stages, generally lasting 10 hours, sometimes longer due to roadworks. For the first stage, you&#8217;ll need to leave early from Bogot\u00e1&#8217;s Salitre bus terminal for Armenia or Pereira, with companies such as Expreso Bolivariano, Expreso Brasilia, or Berlinas. The second step is to take another bus from the Armenia or Pereira bus terminal to Salento, a journey of around 1 hour, or opt for a cab, although this option is more expensive. You should arrive in <a href=\"https:\/\/visitmycolombia.com\/en\/visit-salento-colombian-escape-in-the-heart-of-the-coffee-zone\/\">Salento<\/a> in the evening.   <\/p><p class=\"has-text-color has-background eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-1b316e wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#603d47;background-color:#f4e4e9\"><strong>Day 7: Salento &#8211; Cocora Valley<\/strong><br><sub>A day to do on your own &#8211; Taking a tour is not only useless, it&#8217;s very expensive.<\/sub><\/p><p class=\"eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-7f2337 wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/visitmycolombia.com\/en\/visit-the-cocora-valley-the-famous-hike-among-the-wax-palms\/\">Cocora Valley<\/a> is encircled by green mountains and hills, creating a picturesque landscape. Well-maintained hiking trails offer visitors the opportunity to explore the valley, cross suspension bridges and enjoy breathtaking panoramic views. Here, you can admire impressive palm trees (Ceroxylon quindiuense, Colombia&#8217;s national tree) that can reach heights of up to 60 metres &#8211; the tallest palms in the world. As far as hiking is concerned, the loop that passes by the <a href=\"https:\/\/visitmycolombia.com\/en\/hummingbirds-in-colombia-little-winged-acrobats\/\">hummingbird<\/a> house is a pleasant option, lasting around 5 hours (more or less depending on physical condition). An excellent opportunity to enjoy a lovely walk in the great outdoors!    <\/p><p class=\"has-text-color has-background eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-1b316e wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#603d47;background-color:#f4e4e9\"><strong>Day 8: Salento &#8211; Village walk + Coffee finca + Transfer to Manizales<\/strong><br><sub>A day to do on your own &#8211; No need to take a tour<\/sub><\/p><p class=\"eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-7f2337 wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/visitmycolombia.com\/en\/visit-salento-colombian-escape-in-the-heart-of-the-coffee-zone\/\">Salento<\/a> is a charming village in the heart of Colombia&#8217;s coffee-growing region, in the department of Quind\u00edo to be precise. It&#8217;s one of Colombia&#8217;s most picturesque spots, renowned for its brightly-colored cobbled streets, admirably preserved colonial architecture and warm atmosphere. <a href=\"https:\/\/visitmycolombia.com\/en\/visit-a-coffee-finca-in-salento-our-experience-among-the-coffee-trees\/\">Coffee fincas<\/a>, farms dedicated to growing coffee, play a central role in local culture. Visitors to Salento often have the opportunity to visit these fincas, such as Las Acacias or Don Elias, to learn first-hand about the Colombian coffee production process, from picking the beans to tasting them. The fincas offer guided tours that allow visitors to follow every step of the coffee-growing process, from harvesting to roasting. In the late afternoon, it&#8217;s time to leave Salento for Manizales (approx. 2 hours by bus, with a possible stop in Pereira).     <\/p><div class=\"wp-block-columns eplus-wrapper is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex eplus-styles-uid-328f84\"><div class=\"wp-block-column has-background eplus-wrapper is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow eplus-styles-uid-31b439\" style=\"background-color:#f9f3e5\">\n<h4 class=\" wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\">Accommodation recommendations in Salento<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Budget <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/Share-hKnmKl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Corner House Hostel<\/a><br>Average budget : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/Share-iptQM8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hospedaje La Masia Salento<\/a><br>High budget: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/Share-84yZFL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hotel Salento Real Eje Cafetero<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column has-background eplus-wrapper is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow eplus-styles-uid-31b439\" style=\"background-color:#f9f3e5\">\n<h4 class=\" wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\">Colombian restaurant recommendations in Salento<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Thrifty budget: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.fr\/Restaurant_Review-g1580963-d11666927-Reviews-Acaime-Salento_Quindio_Department.html?m=19905\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Acaime<\/a><br>Average budget : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.es\/Restaurant_Review-g1580963-d7814929-Reviews-Balcones_Del_Ayer-Salento_Quindio_Department.html?m=19905\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Balcones Del Ayer<\/a><br>High budget: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.fr\/Restaurant_Review-g1580963-d15873311-Reviews-Quindu_Restaurante-Salento_Quindio_Department.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Quindu Restaurante<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-columns eplus-wrapper is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex eplus-styles-uid-e44bde\"><div class=\"wp-block-column has-background eplus-wrapper is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow eplus-styles-uid-31b439\" style=\"background-color:#f9f3e5\">\n<h4 class=\" wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\">Recommendations for guided activities in Salento<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s no need to take a tour for any of these activities.

It is recognized as one of the country&#8217;s most active volcanoes. Despite its volcanic activity, its 5,321-meter-high summit is constantly covered in ice and snow, creating a striking contrast. The trip starts from Manizales at 6:00 am, with a stopover for breakfast. The itinerary then includes entry into Los Nevados National Nature Park, with several stops planned, including Aguacerales, Arenales, Valle Lunar, and Valle de las Tumbas, where the guide will provide detailed explanations.

Founded in 1849, Manizales is affectionately known as the &#8220;City of Open Doors&#8221; due to the hospitality of its inhabitants. Manizales enjoys a pleasant climate, characterized by eternal spring, and is surrounded by mountains offering spectacular panoramic views. Manizales plays a major economic role, based on pillars such as agriculture, industry and commerce, especially coffee growing, which is an essential part of its identity. As you stroll through the city, you&#8217;ll have the opportunity to admire the majestic Basilica Cathedral of Our Lady of Rosario, explore the picturesque streets of the historic center, visit the Caldas Art Museum, and even recharge your batteries at the Recinto del Pensamiento Reserve (where you can see <a href=\"https:\/\/visitmycolombia.com\/en\/hummingbirds-in-colombia-little-winged-acrobats\/\">hummingbirds<\/a>!).

Don&#8217;t forget to visit iconic landmarks such as the Plaza Botero, adorned with oversized sculptures, as well as the Museo de Antioquia, the Museo de la Memoria, and many others. For the evening, you can head to the lively El Poblado or Laureles districts to enjoy the nightlife.    <\/p><p class=\"has-text-color has-background eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-1b316e wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#603d47;background-color:#f4e4e9\"><strong>Day 13: Medell\u00edn &#8211; Guatap\u00e9 village<\/strong><br><sub>A day to do on your own &#8211; No need to take a tour<\/sub><\/p><p class=\"eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-7f2337 wp-block-paragraph\">A visit to <a href=\"https:\/\/visitmycolombia.com\/en\/guatape-colorful-streets-between-lakes-and-the-monolith\/\">Guatap\u00e9<\/a> from Medell\u00edn is a memorable getaway.

The city&#8217;s historic center retains well-preserved Spanish colonial architecture, while the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta offers mountain adventures. Visitors can revel in the rich cultural scene, festivals and seafood-based culinary delights.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Tayrona National Nature Park, nestled on Colombia&#8217;s stunning Caribbean coast, is a veritable natural and historical treasure. Once the territory of the Tayrona indigenous people, this park, created in 1964, encompasses an incredibly diverse ecosystem, home to a multitude of plant and animal species. It&#8217;s a place where history and nature blend harmoniously, offering visitors the opportunity to connect with the raw beauty of Colombia.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#da906b\">We strongly recommend that you stay inside the park, as the park entrance ticket is not valid for multiple entries and exits. In other words, if you decide to leave the park one day and plan to return the next, you&#8217;ll have to pay the entrance fee twice! <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-background eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#603d47;background-color:#f4e4e9;font-style:italic;font-weight:500;letter-spacing:0px\">Please note: Tayrona closes several times a year, and exact dates vary from year to year. Remember to check when planning your trip. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-background eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#603d47;background-color:#f4e4e9;font-style:italic;font-weight:500;letter-spacing:0px\"><strong>Warning 2: <\/strong>it&#8217;s not possible to swim everywhere in the park due to dangerous currents. Be sure to follow the signs on each beach. Finally, we&#8217;d like to warn you: this may be the Caribbean, but don&#8217;t expect to see the paradise beaches of the islands (although they&#8217;re not bad!).  <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-background eplus-wrapper is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex eplus-styles-uid-11cd60\" style=\"background-color:#da906b\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column eplus-wrapper is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:30%\"><p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-text-align-center eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-e43070 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color:#da906b\"><strong>LEARN MORE<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column eplus-wrapper is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:70%\"><p class=\"has-background eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-e43070 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color:#f9f3e5\"><a href=\"https:\/\/visitmycolombia.com\/en\/visit-tayrona-the-ultimate-guide-to-an-unforgettable-adventure\/\"><strong>Read our full article on Tayrona Park!<\/strong><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"height:3em\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\" wp-block-spacer eplus-wrapper\"><\/div>\n<div  id=\"jtg-18780\" class=\"modula modula-gallery modula-columns\" data-config=\"{&quot;tabletHeight&quot;:800,&quot;mobileHeight&quot;:800,&quot;desktopHeight&quot;:800,&quot;enableTwitter&quot;:false,&quot;enableWhatsapp&quot;:false,&quot;enableFacebook&quot;:false,&quot;enablePinterest&quot;:false,&quot;enableLinkedin&quot;:false,&quot;enableEmail&quot;:false,&quot;randomFactor&quot;:0,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;,&quot;columns&quot;:12,&quot;gutter&quot;:10,&quot;mobileGutter&quot;:10,&quot;tabletGutter&quot;:10,&quot;desktopGutter&quot;:10,&quot;enableResponsive&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;tabletColumns&quot;:2,&quot;mobileColumns&quot;:1,&quot;lazyLoad&quot;:0,&quot;lightboxOpts&quot;:{&quot;animated&quot;:true,&quot;Thumbs&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;modern&quot;,&quot;showOnStart&quot;:false},&quot;Toolbar&quot;:{&quot;display&quot;:{&quot;right&quot;:[&quot;close&quot;]},&quot;enabled&quot;:true},&quot;Carousel&quot;:{&quot;Panzoom&quot;:{&quot;touch&quot;:true},&quot;infinite&quot;:false},&quot;keyboard&quot;:{&quot;Escape&quot;:&quot;close&quot;,&quot;Delete&quot;:&quot;close&quot;,&quot;Backspace&quot;:&quot;close&quot;,&quot;PageUp&quot;:&quot;next&quot;,&quot;PageDown&quot;:&quot;prev&quot;,&quot;ArrowUp&quot;:&quot;prev&quot;,&quot;ArrowDown&quot;:&quot;next&quot;,&quot;ArrowRight&quot;:&quot;next&quot;,&quot;ArrowLeft&quot;:&quot;prev&quot;},&quot;wheel&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;touch&quot;:true,&quot;backdropClick&quot;:&quot;close&quot;,&quot;l10n&quot;:{&quot;CLOSE&quot;:&quot;Close&quot;,&quot;NEXT&quot;:&quot;Next&quot;,&quot;PREV&quot;:&quot;Previous&quot;,&quot;Error&quot;:&quot;The requested content cannot be loaded.

Santa Marta. It&#8217;s important to note that there are two airports in Medell\u00edn, and for this transfer, the right airport is Jos\u00e9-Mar\u00eda-C\u00f3rdova International Airport (MDE), which is located outside the city. We recommend you book a flight with Avianca or Latam for this leg. The flight takes about 1 hour.   <\/p><p class=\"has-text-color has-background eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-1b316e wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#603d47;background-color:#f4e4e9\"><strong>Day 15: Santa Marta (diving\/snorkeling)<\/strong><br><sub>Tour with a guide<\/sub><\/p><p class=\"eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-7f2337 wp-block-paragraph\">During your stay in Santa Marta, you&#8217;ll have an exceptional opportunity: scuba diving, whether you&#8217;re a novice or an expert, in the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean Sea. This region offers a range of dive sites suitable for all levels, from beginners to experienced divers. You&#8217;ll have the opportunity to explore colorful coral reefs, observe a diverse marine fauna, including tropical fish, sea turtles, and sometimes even sharks. If scuba diving makes you a little nervous, you can also take part in a day of snorkeling instead.   <\/p><div class=\"wp-block-columns eplus-wrapper is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex eplus-styles-uid-cb3c04\"><div class=\"wp-block-column has-background eplus-wrapper is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow eplus-styles-uid-31b439\" style=\"background-color:#f9f3e5\">\n<h4 class=\" wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\">Accommodation recommendations in Santa Marta<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Budget-friendly: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/Share-LEmkLm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cacao Hostel Santa Marta<\/a><br>Medium budget : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/Share-VwT8Qz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Comunidad Calle 13 Hotel<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/Share-VwT8Qz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Boutique<\/a><br>High budget: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/Share-I3NSeB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alko Hotel Cotona<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column has-background eplus-wrapper is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow eplus-styles-uid-31b439\" style=\"background-color:#f9f3e5\">\n<h4 class=\" wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\">Colombian restaurant recommendations in Santa Marta<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Thrifty budget: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Restaurant_Review-g297484-d2492782-Reviews-Merkabar_Welcome_Restaurant-Santa_Marta_Santa_Marta_Municipality_Magdalena_Depart.html?m=19905\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Merkabar<\/a><br>Average budget : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Restaurant_Review-g297484-d15325428-Reviews-The_Cartel_19-Santa_Marta_Santa_Marta_Municipality_Magdalena_Department.html?m=19905\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Cartel 19<\/a><br>High budget: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Restaurant_Review-g297484-d2623981-Reviews-Santa_Mesa-Santa_Marta_Santa_Marta_Municipality_Magdalena_Department.html?m=19905\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Santa Mesa<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-columns eplus-wrapper is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex eplus-styles-uid-c8ff7a\"><div class=\"wp-block-column has-background eplus-wrapper is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow eplus-styles-uid-31b439\" style=\"background-color:#f9f3e5\">\n<h4 class=\" wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\">Recommendations for guided activities in Santa Marta<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Santa Marta &#8211; Diving\/snorkeling: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caribbeanprodive.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Caribbean Pro Dive Center<\/a><br>Santa Marta &#8211; Diving (en FR) : <a href=\"https:\/\/dimitrixdive.com\/home-fr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dimitrix<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"stay22-widget\" width=\"100%\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/embed\/6914e0b0a763e667cc0ad4f4\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-background eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-1b316e wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#603d47;background-color:#f4e4e9\"><strong>Day 16 \/ TRANSFER \/ : Tayrona National Park &#8211; <strong>Playa Los Naranjos<\/strong><\/strong><\/p><p class=\"eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-7f2337 wp-block-paragraph\">To get to <a href=\"https:\/\/visitmycolombia.com\/en\/visit-tayrona-the-ultimate-guide-to-an-unforgettable-adventure\/\">Tayrona<\/a> Park, with the El Zaino entrance on this itinerary, you can regularly take a bus from the Mercado Publico in Santa Marta. The journey takes around 1 hour (although taking a cab is an option, although it can be quite expensive). Once you arrive at the park entrance, you&#8217;ll have to pay the entrance fee in cash (around 60,000 COP). You can then take a shuttle bus (for an additional fee) to your accommodation. It&#8217;s important to note that only a small part of the park is accessible to vehicles; the rest of the park must be explored on foot. Afterwards, you can head for Los Naranjos beach, which is around 1? to 2 hours&#8217; walk away. This beach is much less crowded than Cabo San Juan, as is the path to it. You&#8217;ll have the feeling of being alone in the world. What&#8217;s more, we were lucky enough to see more animals in this part of the park.        <\/p><p class=\"has-text-color has-background eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-1b316e wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#603d47;background-color:#f4e4e9\"><strong>Day 17: <strong>Tayrona National Park<\/strong> &#8211; Cabo San Juan + Return to Santa Marta<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-7f2337 wp-block-paragraph\">On this day, the aim is to get to the famous Cabo San Juan beach, one of the most photographed and popular with tourists. The hike to get there takes around 2.5 to 3 hours one way. Along the way, you&#8217;ll pass through lush jungle and along the coast. If you&#8217;re lucky, you might even spot one of the four species of monkey found in the park, as well as exotic birds, lizards and even poisonous frogs (which you shouldn&#8217;t touch), among other wonders of the local fauna. The route is punctuated by several beaches where you can relax by soaking your feet and taking well-deserved breaks. With the round trip, your day will be well spent, and you can then return to your accommodation to rest before catching a bus on the main road back to Santa Marta.     <\/p><div class=\"wp-block-columns eplus-wrapper is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex eplus-styles-uid-968c52\"><div class=\"wp-block-column has-background eplus-wrapper is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow eplus-styles-uid-31b439\" style=\"background-color:#f9f3e5\">\n<h4 class=\" wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\">Tayrona accommodation recommendations<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Thrifty budget: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/Share-5XbceL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Camping Tequendama<\/a><br>Medium budget : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/Share-HpWhv5W\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ecohotel Yachay Tayrona<\/a><br>High budget: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/Share-aDJSv4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ecohabs Tequendama<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column has-background eplus-wrapper is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow eplus-styles-uid-31b439\" style=\"background-color:#f9f3e5\">\n<h4 class=\" wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\">Colombian restaurant recommendations in Tayrona<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Not a great choice of restaurants, more &#8220;ginguettes&#8221; with similar menus.

Buried deep in the mountains of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, this ancient pre-Columbian city was built by the Tayrona civilization over 1,000 years ago, long before the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">The existence of this lost city was revealed to the world in 1972. To reach it, visitors embark on a demanding multi-day trek through dense jungle, crossing rivers and waterfalls. Once there, they are greeted by stone terraces, wooden structures, and a fascinating history that offers a glimpse into the ancient life of this region. La Ciudad Perdida is a sacred site for the indigenous people of the Sierra Nevada, adding to its mystery and charm. It&#8217;s a breathtaking adventure, perfectly suited to history and nature lovers.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#da906b\">Leave your large suitcase at your hotel (most hotels will keep your belongings for a few days for a few pesos).

Non-sports enthusiasts may find it difficult (heat, humidity, altitude difference). Similarly, food and accommodation (nights in hammocks) will be basic.

City<\/a> trek in Colombia starts around 9:00 a.m. from the Wiwa Tours main office, where travellers meet their native guide. After logistical organization, a 4&#215;4 vehicle or pick-up transports the group to Mamey, in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, in about 2 hours. The trek really begins here, with lunch followed by instructions from the native guide. The first day&#8217;s trek covers around 7.6 km through peasant trails, with an overnight stay in a cabin at an altitude of 450 meters. Duration varies from 3 to 5 hours, depending on physical condition and weather conditions. The route offers magnificent scenery and rich biodiversity.     <\/p><p class=\"has-text-color has-background eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-1b316e wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#603d47;background-color:#f4e4e9\"><strong>Day 19: Santa Marta &#8211; Ciudad Perdida trek<\/strong><br><sub>Trek with compulsory guide<\/sub><\/p><p class=\"eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-7f2337 wp-block-paragraph\">The second day of the Lost City trek in Colombia begins early with breakfast and instructions from the local guide. A demanding 14.7 km hike (approx. 10 hours) leads from the Vista Hermosa camp to the Paso Lorenzo hut, situated at an altitude of 830 metres, close to the Lost City, sacred to the indigenous peoples. Along the way, you&#8217;ll pass by the Kogui Mutanzhi indigenous community, discovering their harmony with nature. You can also relax in the Buritaca River and listen to native stories and customs at night.   <\/p><p class=\"has-text-color has-background eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-1b316e wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#603d47;background-color:#f4e4e9\"><strong>Day 20: Santa &#8211; Marta &#8211; Ciudad Perdida Trek<\/strong><br><sub>Trek with compulsory guide<\/sub><\/p><p class=\"eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-7f2337 wp-block-paragraph\">The day&#8217;s visit to Colombia&#8217;s Lost City begins with a 1 km climb up 1,200 stone steps built by the ancient Tayronas. At an altitude of 1,200 metres, the indigenous guide accompanies you on a guided tour of the Teyuna archaeological ruins, including terraces and sacred sites. After lunch at the Paso Lorenzo camp, the 9.6 km trek (approx. 5 hours) returns to the Wiwa hut, a native camp where you&#8217;ll spend the night.  <\/p><p class=\"has-text-color has-background eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-1b316e wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#603d47;background-color:#f4e4e9\"><strong>Day 21: Santa Marta &#8211; Ciudad Perdida trek<\/strong><br><sub>Trek with compulsory guide<\/sub><\/p><p class=\"eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-7f2337 wp-block-paragraph\">The last day of the Sierra Nevada trek begins with breakfast, followed by a 12.7 km descent to the starting point.

Nicknamed the &#8220;Pearl of the Caribbean&#8221;, Cartagena&#8217;s historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a maze of cobbled streets and charming squares, lined with brightly-colored colonial houses. These narrow streets bear the tales of a tumultuous past, from pirate attacks to struggles for independence.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">The imposing walls that encircle the old town are a reminder of the need to protect against incessant threats. Baroque churches, such as the Cathedral of San Pedro Claver, reflect the religious influence of the Spanish colonial era. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Cartagena is also a cultural melting pot, where African, European and indigenous traditions meet harmoniously, creating a unique atmosphere. Whether you&#8217;re strolling along the city walls, relaxing on the beaches or exploring the fascinating museums, every corner of Cartagena tells a captivating story.

Now it&#8217;s time to head for Cartagena&#8217;s Rafael N\u00fa\u00f1ez International Airport and say goodbye to this magnificent country. We hope your stay in Colombia has been as enjoyable for you as it has been for us. If you&#8217;re lucky enough to have a few hours of free time depending on your flight time, you might consider taking one last stroll around the historic district or heading to Bocagrande. For gifts and souvenirs, you can choose between Calle de la Gobernaci\u00f3n, renowned for its street vendors, or Las B\u00f3vedas. Take advantage of these last moments to bring a little piece of Colombia back home with you.     <\/p><p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"stay22-widget\" width=\"100%\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/embed\/6914ca4345d4eed87215ef29\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:3em\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\" wp-block-spacer eplus-wrapper\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\" wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\">Budget (estimate)<\/h2>\n\n<h4 class=\" wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\">4-week itinerary in Colombia: the great classics<\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Estimated total budget per person, on site (excluding airfare to\/from Colombia) in Colombian pesos.
