Useful Information about travelling in Colombia

If you're planning a trip to Colombia, you've probably heard about some of the amazing destinations in the country. But what should you do and where are the best places to visit? Here are some ideas! Check out Cartagena, Salento, San Andres, Providencia, and more.

Salento

In the last 10 to 15 years, Salento has started to thrive as a tourist destination, attracting scores of Colombians and foreigners alike. Its central downtown area is still reminiscent of the late nineteenth century, with its white walls and brightly colored windows. You can enjoy the local cuisine while wandering around this colorful area.

Cartagena

For a taste of Colombian cuisine, head to the city's vibrant food market, the Mercado de Bazurto. Here, you can find fresh fruit, Colombian dishes, and other unique items. The market is located in the old city and is easy to reach by taxi.

Cartagena

San Andres

If you are traveling to Colombia, you should definitely visit San Andrés. It is the perfect destination for a relaxing day of lounging on the beach. Its beautiful beaches are not crowded with tourists, massage services, or junk vendors. The island also has a duty-free zone where you can get good deals on electronics and liquor.

San Andres

La Guajira

If you're looking for a unique experience in Colombia, La Guajira is an excellent place to go. This remote department is often overlooked by the government, but responsible tourism is an effective way to help improve the economy and culture of the region. However, the department is not a destination for those looking for luxurious accommodations. You won't find a jaccuzi or hot showers here, but you can immerse yourself in the Wayuu culture with an authentic Wayuu guide.

Las Lajas

National Shrine Basilica of Our Lady of Las Lajas, also known as Las Lajas Shrine, is a basilica church in southern Colombia. It is located in the municipality of Ipiales, Nario Department, in a canyon along the Guáitara River.

Concordia

The city of Concordia is one of the best places in Colombia to visit. It has a beautiful setting against the Andes mountain range and is a must-see. For best results, you should spend at least three days there. On the first day, take a half-day horseback ride to some of the nearby statues. Your first stop is El Tablon, which is a group of four statues that guard tombs. Some are thought to have been sacrificed to the gods.

Guided tours in Colombia

If you are a traveler who enjoys meeting locals, you may want to consider taking a guided tour in Colombia. This South American country has changed a great deal in the last couple of decades, and its booming tourism industry has made it a very popular destination. Travelers can enjoy idyllic beaches and cobblestone streets, a fun and colorful old town in Cartagena, and hiking trails in Medellin and Bogota.

Book ahead of time with hotels in Colombia

When you book your Colombia guided tours, you will be able to plan your excursions and choose from many different options. Many hotels offer guided tours at a discount when you book ahead of time. Additionally, some hotels also offer suggestions for how to spend your free time in the city. Taking advantage of this information is an excellent way to get a feel for the city you'll be visiting.

Get a phrasebook to connect with other travelers

If you plan on going on a guided tour in Colombia, it's important to have a phrasebook handy so you can communicate with the locals. Though most Colombians speak English, there are some places in the country where the locals don't speak English well. It is wise to check with the tour operator before going on a tour to see if your guide speaks English. Besides the phrasebook, you'll also want to brush up on your Spanish.

Meet locals on guided tours in Colombia

If you want to get the real feel for a place, consider meeting locals on guided tours in Colombia. The country has a rich culture and fascinating history. There is no better way to experience the culture than through conversation with the locals. You will be able to share stories and learn about the local culture firsthand. You can also request a personalized itinerary to gain exclusive experiences.

Cartagena is a popular port of call for cruise ships

Cartagena is one of the most important commercial ports in South America, and it's a popular port of call for cruise ships. It has two piers and a terminal, and up to five cruise ships can dock here. The terminal is easily accessible and has a Tourist Information Kiosk that's open for the first few hours after the ship docks.

Leticia is the most developed of Colombia's Amazonian towns

Located near the Peruvian and Brazilian borders, Leticia is a cosmopolitan city surrounded by nature. It is a small but vibrant city that offers a wide variety of attractions and activities, including day trips into the surrounding rainforest.

Chicaque Park is a cloud-forest reserve

When visiting Colombia, be sure to spend time in the cloud forests. They are cool, lush, and filled with a diversity of plants and wildlife. One of the most beautiful cloud forests in the country is found in the Chicaque Natural Park, located just outside Bogota. There, you can hike miles of trails and witness a wide variety of natural phenomena. The trails are well maintained and marked, and you can hike to any level of difficulty.

Cost-effective ways to travel in Colombia

In Colombia, a budget traveler can enjoy the best of the country without breaking the bank. A day's accommodation can cost as little as $30 and a good meal will cost around $10 to $15. Generally, transportation costs are cheap and there is no need to pay for entrance tickets. However, there are times when you will need to pay extra for a tour.
