From the vibrant streets of Medellín to the colonial charm of Cartagena, this journey offers a rich mix of culture, music, wildlife and warm local hospitality—bringing you closer to the heart of this incredible country.
Your journey begins in the city of Medellín, nestled in the Aburrá Valley. Once known for its troubled past, Medellín has reinvented itself as a hub of innovation, art, and warmth. Explore its vibrant neighbourhoods, sip rich Colombian coffee, and enjoy sweeping views from the Metrocable before flying to Barranquilla to embark on your river adventure.
Step into the rhythm of Colombia in Barranquilla, where music and dance pulse through the streets. Enjoy an exclusive Carnival celebration just for you—complete with dazzling costumes, drummers, and dancers bringing the spirit of the country’s biggest festival to life. It’s a joyful and colourful welcome to the Magdalena.
As you glide down the Magdalena River, you’ll arrive in picturesque Mompox and Santa Barbara de Pinto. These hidden gems reveal Colombia’s rich history, timeless architecture, and a slower, serene way of life. Explore quiet streets, soak in the beauty of tropical landscapes, and watch as nature and heritage intertwine.
In Calamar, history takes centre stage. This sleepy riverside town once played a major role in Colombia’s river trade. Stroll past colonial-era buildings and colourful murals that tell stories of resilience and heritage. It’s a place of quiet beauty and rich culture.
Your journey ends in the iconic port city of Cartagena. Enclosed by ancient stone walls and filled with Spanish colonial architecture, this Caribbean gem is the perfect finale.
