Join us on a carefully designed program though Colombia which has emerged from its divisive civil war a true jewel of South America with rich history, remarkably diverse landscapes, and infectious vibrancy. Begin in the sprawling capital city of Bogotá nestled in the Andes before flying to the mystical archaeological site of San Agustín and explore its hundreds of ancient, life-size stone heads. Experience an authentic indigenous market in the Colombian highlands before heading to Cali whose strong Afro-Colombian heritage has made it a city unlike any other in the country. Connect with an important part of Colombia’s national identity with a visit to Buenavista in the coffee-cultivating lush and Eden-like heartland. In Medellin, modern Colombia offers a dynamic urban setting and the sizzling energy that the country and its people are so famous for. End on the Caribbean coast in Cartagena, Colombia’s most iconic city, whose romantic soul inspired Gabriel García Márquez and will have you enthralled from the moment you pass through its fortified walls.
