Most famous things to do in Colombia
Colombia’s top tourist sites
Valle de Cocora near Salento
The most popular site in the Coffee region.
The Cocora Valley offers a spectacular landscape with giant wax palms, reaching heights of 50 to 70 meters, the tallest in the world. These majestic trees stand amidst the lush mountains of the coffee region.
You can admire this view from several viewpoints accessible to travelers or embark on a 5- to 6-hour hike to fully experience it.
+ I find the landscape stunning, and it’s easy to explore without an agency.
+ You feel so small next to these giant trees.
+ I love the 5-hour hike because you cross hanging bridges and can spot hummingbirds.
– The three viewpoints (if you decide not to do the loop) remind me a bit too much of Disneyland: crowded and “too-much”
– The path is muddy if you go for the hike. Wear good shoes.
- Getting there: Willys jeeps depart every 30 minutes from the main square in Salento. The ride takes about 20 minutes. I love standing in the back.
- Time on site: 2 to 6 hours (if you do the loop). You can also visit Acaime to see the hummingbirds.
- Difficulty: 1/10 if you choose the easy option, or 6/10 for the full hike.
- When: Every day from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. I prefer going early in the morning to avoid the rain and tourists.
The Cocora Valley isn’t the only place where you can see giant wax palms. You can also find them at La Carbonera (1 hour from Salento), San Félix (1.5 hours from Salamina), and Pijao.

Lost City (Ciudad Perdida)
The most famous multi-day hike in Colombia.
The Lost City is an ancient city of the Tairona people, recently discovered in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and opened to the public in 2005.
There’s only one way to reach it: a 4-day trek through lush vegetation.
+ It’s a well-organized trek where you only need to carry your personal belongings (5-6 kg on average), and you’ll sleep in a bed. I found it to be a great experience for a first multi-day trek.
+ There are departures every day.
+ This trek gives you a glimpse into the indigenous culture of the Sierra Nevada.
+ I loved exploring the ruins of this ancient city on the third day; it had a mystical vibe. Plus, the view from the site is really nice.
– It’s a very humid area, and you’ll likely hike in the rain at times.
– During peak season, there can be a lot of hikers.
- With whom: You have to go through an agency in Santa Marta to do this trek. There are 5 official agencies in total. I recommend this one.
- Duration: The trek lasts 4 days, but you can also do it in 3 or 5 days. It’s about 50 km round trip.
- Difficulty: I found this trek to be about an 8/10. There aren’t many steep climbs, but the slippery terrain and humidity can make it challenging, especially if you’re not used to it.
- When: You can do this trek every day except for 2-3 weeks in September when the site is closed to the public.
I know there’s now a new 3-day trek to the city of Bunkuany. It’s an easier and less-known hike, but the archaeological site is less impressive.

Comuna 13 in Medellin
The striking example of Medellín’s transformation.
Comuna 13 is a district in Medellín that was once marked by intense conflict involving guerrillas, paramilitaries, drug traffickers, and the state. But around 2010, the city of Medellín and the people of Comuna 13 succeeded in turning the area into one of the most visited sites in the city.
Now, the neighborhood is filled with vibrant graffiti, souvenir shops, bars, and music. Several tours offer insight into the fascinating history of Comuna 13.
+ The story of Comuna 13 is captivating, especially when you’re with a knowledgeable guide.
+ The lively street vibe and the stunning view of Medellín make it special.
– The street art is harder to appreciate because of all the merchant stalls.
– The area gets overcrowded with tourists on weekends and during the high season.
- Where: The simplest way is to go to San Javier metro station, then walk 20 minutes to Comuna 13.
- With whom: You can explore Comuna 13 by yourself, with a free walking tour, a shared tour, or a private tour.
- Duration: If you visit on your own, it’ll take around 2 hours. My private tour lasted 4 hours, as we had lunch with a local family.
- When: It’s open year-round, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. I like going in late morning to avoid the crowds.
- Difficulty: 3/10. There are a few inclines and about 2 to 3 km of walking.
Other neighborhoods in Medellín have also undergone significant social transformations. I found my visit to La Sierra fascinating (plus, there’s a coffee tour), as well as Moravia, which used to be a public dump.

Cartagena’s walled city
The most beautiful historic center to visit in Colombia.
The historic center of Cartagena is a vibrant and colorful area full of charm and history. Enclosed by well-preserved colonial walls, it’s a maze of cobblestone streets, colorful buildings with flower-filled balconies, and beautiful plazas.
The area is rich in colonial architecture, with grand churches, historical landmarks, and lively squares.
+ I love wandering around the historic center. There’s a vacation vibe with all the rooftops, boutiques, bars, and restaurants.
+ Walking along the wall at sunset is a must.
+ Grabbing fresh fruit juice and sipping it in one of the hidden plazas in the center is a great way to relax.
– It can get very crowded with tourists and street vendors.
– It gets hot quickly in Cartagena!
- Where: The historic center consists of three neighborhoods: Centro, San Diego, and Getsemaní, which you can easily explore on foot.
- With whom: You don’t necessarily need a guide, but I find that hearing pirate stories makes the visit more engaging. I always recommend this tour.
- Duration: I usually spend 3 to 4 hours strolling leisurely and taking breaks.
- When: I prefer going early in the morning (7 a.m.) to avoid the crowds. But make sure to come back for the sunset too!
The historic center of Mompox really captivated me; it’s reminiscent of Cartagena’s but without the crowds and the upscale tourism vibe.

Palomino
The most famous beach town to visit in Colombia.
Palomino is a coastal village nestled between Tayrona National Park and the Guajira Desert, at the foot of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.
With its relaxed, hippie vibe, it has attracted many travelers, leading to the rise of numerous hotels and restaurants.
The main activity here is tubing: floating down the river on an inner tube, surrounded by nature.
+ I found some great vegetarian restaurants, which is rare for a Caribbean coastal village.
+ I love the laid-back vibe, where you can walk around barefoot and without a shirt.
+ Floating down a river in a tube, passing through majestic trees with a cold beer in hand—there’s nothing better.
– The coastal village grew too fast, and the tourist infrastructure is a bit chaotic.
– There’s hardly any beach left due to erosion, and the currents make swimming dangerous.
– Because of its popularity, there are other places where you can find hotels with a better price-to-quality ratio.
- Getting there: Fly into Santa Marta or Riohacha and then catch a bus (1 to 2 hours).
- Duration: One day is sufficient if you’re only interested in the activities. Otherwise, stay for 2 nights to unwind in a beautiful hotel.
- When: You can visit anytime during the year, though it can get muddy during the rainy months.
I prefer quieter villages with prettier beaches. Dibulla, just 45 minutes from Palomino, is a fantastic option with very few tourists. Alternatively, check out Rincón del Mar, a village 3 hours from Cartagena. I love the vibe there.

Piedra del Peñol near Guatapé
The most famous day trip from Medellin.
La Piedra del Peñol is a massive granite monolith rising 200 meters high, located near an artificial lake dotted with numerous islets and luxury homes. To reach the top, you can climb a staircase of 750 steps.
This excursion is usually combined with a visit to the colorful village of Guatapé.
+ I love the view from the top, and La Piedra del Peñol is indeed impressive to see, even from the bottom!
+ I stayed in some lovely hotels near the lake (if you want to take your time).
+ The village of Guatapé is charming to visit.
– It gets way too crowded on weekends, which can spoil the fun.
– The 750 steps are a workout, but you’ll have glutes of steel!
- Getting there: You can take a bus from the North Terminal in Medellín (2 hours) or join a tour.
- Duration: It’s a full-day trip.
- When: La Piedra is open year-round from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. It’s best to go right when it opens if you’re visiting on the weekend.
- Difficulty: 6/10. Take your time climbing the 750 steps.
If climbing giant granite monoliths is your thing, then you should definitely check out the stunning Cerros de Mavicure.
Playa Blanca in Isla Baru
The most famous beach to enjoy in Colombia.
Playa Blanca is a huge white-sand beach an hour from Cartagena, situated on Isla Barú in the Rosario Islands. With palm trees, turquoise water, and small seaside hotels, it’s like a postcard come to life.
But be warned, it’s a victim of mass tourism, which often ruins the experience.
+ The beach and turquoise water are stunning.
– Too many street vendors and tourists.
– Low-quality day tours.
– Price scams by locals.
- Getting there: I find the easiest way is to take a taxi from Cartagena for both the trip there and back. It takes about 1 hour.
- Duration: Most travelers do a day trip, but you can also stay overnight.
- When: Avoid going on weekends and during peak season.
- With whom: It’s tricky to find an agency for this beach. It’s better to go on your own.
Instead of stopping at Playa Blanca, continue south on Isla Barú to find less crowded beaches.
Alternatively, you can get a day pass or rent a boat to visit Isla Grande.

La Chorrera near Bogota
Explore Colombia’s tallest waterfall.
La Chorrera is Colombia’s tallest waterfall, boasting an impressive 590-meter drop, and is just 45 minutes from Bogotá.
The hike to reach it takes about 2 to 3 hours through beautiful natural surroundings.
+ The trail is pleasant and accessible to many people.
+ It’s an enjoyable day trip from Bogotá, especially if you combine it with other stops.
– I find the entrance fee a bit pricey now.
– It’s not easy to get there on your own since you’ll need to take multiple forms of transport. It’s much simpler to join a tour.
- Getting there: You can take a 40-min bus from Calle 6 and Carrera 14 in Bogotá, then walk the last 4 km to reach the entrance.
- Difficulty: 4/10. It’s about a 3-hour walk on a mostly flat trail, but it can be muddy.
- With whom: I recommend this tour because it stops at the Mirador de la Virgen de Guadalupe to admire the stunning view of Bogotá sprawling across the plateau.
- Duration: Plan for a full day from Bogotá.
- When: Avoid weekends (too crowded) and the dry season (January to March) when the waterfall might be dry. It opens from 9am to 5pm.
Colombia is a paradise for waterfalls. I especially recommend Meseta and Maracaibo areas in the Meta department.

Tayrona National Park
The most visited national park in Colombia.
Tayrona Natural Park, situated on the Caribbean coast about an hour from Santa Marta, features multiple entrances that lead to different paths through lush vegetation.
Depending on the itinerary you select, you can reach beautiful beaches, some of which are more isolated, ideal for unwinding and soaking in the natural beauty.
+ It’s easy to visit Tayrona on your own, and I enjoyed the sense of freedom that comes with it.
+ It’s a great mix of nature and beach, especially if you decide to stay overnight.
+ The beaches and landscapes are stunning.
– The accommodations in the park aren’t exceptional. Most travelers sleep in tents or hammocks.
– It can get very crowded—fortunately, there are some lesser-known trails.
- Getting there: The main entrance is El Zaino (1 hour from Santa Marta), but I recommend the secondary entrance at Calabazo (10 minutes from El Zaino). However, the trail is longer from there.
- Difficulty: 5/10. I didn’t find the hike too difficult, but some might struggle with the humidity and heat.
- Duration: It’s about a 2.5-hour walk to reach the most famous beach (Cabo San Juan) from El Zaino. You can also choose to stay overnight for 1 to 2 nights.
- When: The park usually closes three times a year: February 1-15, June 1-15, and October 19-November 2. Avoid the high season and weekends
If your main goal is to relax on the park’s beaches, I suggest visiting Playa Cinto—my favorite in Tayrona.
For those who enjoy alternating between hiking and the ocean, consider exploring the Choco Caribbean.

Boat renting in Cartagena
One of my favorite things to do in Colombia.
Many travelers have only one day to explore the Rosario Islands from Cartagena. There are several ways to organize your trip, but my favorite plan is to rent a boat with friends.
This lets you choose your own itinerary and enjoy these paradise islands in a fun and unique way.
+ The islands are stunning, and by going by boat, we were able to get away from the crowds and enjoy the best spots.
+ There’s a cooler with ice so you can bring your drinks and keep them cold.
– The sun is intense. Make sure to protect yourself well, as there’s often little shade on the boats (unless you opt for a yacht).
– Some agencies aren’t great. It’s better to choose wisely—personally, I like this expert.
– It’s expensive unless you have at least 4-5 people.
- Where: Most boats depart from the La Bodeguita tourist port, just a few meters from Cartagena’s historic center.
- With whom: I always go with this expert because they know the best boats and captains.
- Duration: The day usually lasts from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
- When: You can rent a boat year-round. Keep in mind that from December to April, the return trip from the islands can be rougher due to rising waves.
If this experience doesn’t fit your budget, you can join a shared day tour—I really enjoyed this catamaran tour.

Chicamocha canyon
The deepest canyon to visit in Colombia (and the third worldwide).
The Chicamocha Canyon, located between Bogotá and Bucaramanga, is one of the largest canyons in the world, with a depth of 2,000 meters and a length of 230 km.
This spectacular natural site offers breathtaking views and activities like paragliding, rafting, and hiking.
+ Chicamocha Canyon offers breathtaking views with its towering cliffs, perfect for photography and nature lovers.
+ Enjoy paragliding, rafting, hiking, and the cable car for a diverse and exciting experience. I usually start from San Gil. There are also fantastic treks you can do solo, with stops in beautiful colonial villages.
+ The canyon is home to diverse flora and fauna, including endemic species, making it ideal for naturalists.
– It was extremely hot at the bottom of the canyon.
- Getting there: There are different entry points to explore the canyon. Most travelers start from Barichara, but you can also begin from Zapoteca or Los Santos. For sports activities, head to San Gil.
- Duration: You can spend a day or embark on a 10-day trek.
- When: You can visit year-round.
If you’re going for rafting and paragliding, I also recommend the areas around Medellín.
Best unique things to do in Colombia
Hidden gems that most travelers often miss.
Cano Cristales, the rainbow river
The most beautiful river to visit in Colombia.
Caño Cristales is a one-of-a-kind river, known for the bright colors that decorate its bed due to the aquatic plant Macarenia clavigera. In the rainy season, this plant blooms, giving the impression that the river is painted in shades of red, pink, purple, and green.
This stunning natural display extends over several kilometers of trails within La Macarena National Park.
+ It’s a one-of-a-kind experience you can only witness in Colombia.
+ There are additional activities available from La Macarena, making the trip even more worthwhile.
+ I found the park to be well-managed, and you’re not overwhelmed by crowds of tourists.
– La Macarena is a remote location, and the main way to get there is by plane, which quickly adds to the cost of the trip.
- Getting there: You need to travel to La Macarena, register, then take a boat and a jeep to the entrance of the Caño Cristales trail.
- With whom: It’s mandatory to visit with a local guide. I recommend this expert.
- Duration: The visit to Caño Cristales lasts 1 day. I prefer a 4-day package with a “buffer” day in case of bad weather.
- Difficulty: 5/10. The walk is 7-12 km on a dirt and stone trail.
- When: The park is only open from mid-June to the end of November.
- The colors of Caño Cristales truly shine in the sun, which is why I suggest staying for 4 days instead of 3 (since there are other excursions to enjoy).
- If you can, add a stop at the Caño Canoas waterfall to your trip.
- You can also see this phenomenon (in a less dramatic way) near Yarumales and San José del Guaviare.

Whale Watching in the Pacific Coast
My favorite region to visit in Colombia.
Every year, from July to October, humpback whales migrate up the Colombian Pacific coast to breed and give birth. I love this experience because it remains very authentic.
You get close to the whales in small motorboats, usually operated by local fishermen. What makes this adventure even more remarkable is that it’s never too crowded, allowing you to fully enjoy this magical encounter with the whales in their natural habitat, without the typical tourist rush.
+ I find the Pacific coast stunning, with its long black sand beaches bordered by dense, wild vegetation.
+ The food is delicious.
+ There are very few people around.
+ I loved being able to combine whale watching with other activities.
– You have to fly in, and good accommodations are scarce. – It can rain a lot.
- Getting there: I have two favorite areas on the Pacific coast: El Valle/Bahía Solano and Guachalito/Arusí. You’ll need to take a flight from Medellín (30 min) to get there.
- Duration: Whale watching typically lasts 3-4 hours, but it’s not the only experience to enjoy. I always stay for at least 5 days.
- Difficulty: 1/10. You’ll be traveling by boat.
- With whom: Each accommodation can connect you with locals. For a quality, hassle-free stay, I like staying at an ecolodge that offers an all-inclusive package.
- When: Whale season is from July to October, with the best months being August to September.

Birding
The country with the most bird species in the world.
Birdwatching, or birding, is an activity that involves observing and identifying birds in their natural habitat. It’s a practice that’s increasingly attracting nature and ornithology enthusiasts, offering a unique connection with biodiversity.
Birdwatchers often use binoculars and identification guides to spot and identify different bird species, appreciating both their beauty and behavior.
- With around 2,000 bird species, Colombia is the top destination in the world for birdwatching.
- The country is home to more than 80 bird species found nowhere else on Earth.
- Colombia has over 90 ecosystems, ranging from beaches to mountains, which support an incredible variety of birdlife.
- The activity is often led by passionate local guides, providing a full immersion in nature.
- Cauca, Nariño, Antioquia, Meta, and the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta are among the top areas for birdwatching.
- Visit specialized reserves like Rio Ñambi or El Dorado to maximize your chances of spotting numerous species.
- Bring binoculars, a bird identification guide, and a notebook to record your observations. Opt for early morning excursions when birds are most active.

La Guajira Desert
An exciting multi-day trip in jeep.
La Guajira is a desert located in the north of the Caribbean coast, home to the Wayuu indigenous people.
This harsh environment offers spectacular landscapes: arid, orange-tinted lands dotted with cacti and goat herds, vast sand dunes, rugged cliffs, and the blue of a frequently rough sea.
The only way to explore it? A jeep, driven by experienced drivers who know this challenging terrain well.
+ I found this experience unique, combining adventure and cultural immersion in one of the most remote corners of Colombia.
+ The landscapes are spectacular. + It’s also a paradise for kitesurfing.
– I spent long hours in the jeep.
– The accommodations and meals are basic, but given that it’s in the heart of the desert, that’s to be expected.
- Getting there: You’ll need to depart from Riohacha by jeep.
- With whom: After several trips to the desert, here’s my favorite local expert.
- Duration: The most common tour is 3 days, but personally, I loved the 4-day option, which includes a night in Macuira Park.
- Difficulty: 4/10. It can be tiring to spend long hours in the jeep on dirt roads.
- When: It’s best to avoid the rainy months of October and November.
Tatacoa is another desert in Colombia, but the experience is completely different. I prefer La Guajira.

Cerros de Mavecure
My favorite off-the-beaten-path excursion.
The Cerros de Mavecure are, in my opinion, one of the most fascinating places in Colombia. They are three black granite mountains located deep in the jungle, between the Amazon and the Llanos.
These mountains are about 50 km south of Inírida, along the river of the same name. What really struck me was the raw beauty and the sacred significance of these sites for the indigenous communities.
+ It’s like stepping back in time, far from civilization.
+ I had a variety of experiences there, from a boat adventure to the Estrella Fluvial, to workshops that deepened my understanding of indigenous culture, to white sand beaches, and even a hike to the top of one of the Cerros!
+ Very few tourists, which makes the experience very authentic.
– Access is complicated and requires some planning.
– The climate can be very hot and humid, especially during the dry season.
- Getting there: Take a flight to Inírida from Bogota, then traveling to the Cerros by boat (about 3 hours).
- Duration: To fully enjoy the experience, I spent 1 to 2 nights at the foot of the Cerros. In total, my trip lasted 4 nights.
- With whom: Honestly, I highly recommend going through a local agency that handles all the logistics—it makes the trip much easier and more enjoyable.
- Difficulty: 6.5/10. Most of the travel is done by boat. The only challenging part is the steep 1.5-hour ascent to reach the top of the Cerro.
- When: The best time to visit is during the dry season (if it rains, you can’t climb the Cerro). So, aim for late November to late March.
- What really impressed me is that the Cerros de Mavecure are tepuis, geological formations that are over 1.7 billion years old.
- Their name comes from a combination of “mavi,” a local palm, and “curare,” a poison used by indigenous people for their darts.

Peaceful colonial towns
The best way to rest during your trip.
Colonial villages in Colombia are places where history comes to life. Their cobblestone streets, whitewashed houses adorned with colorful flowers, and well-preserved architecture tell the story of the Spanish colonial era.
You definitely need to add at least one of these to your itinerary (and I’m not referring to Guatapé or Salento).
- What I love about these villages is their serene and authentic atmosphere.
- Each village has its unique charm—whether it’s the small local craft shops or the historic plazas where you can sit and watch life go by.
- These villages are a peaceful retreat, far from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
- To fully enjoy these villages, I recommend visiting during the week when they are less crowded.
- Take your time to wander through the streets, visit the churches, and chat with local artisans. I always stay at least 2 nights.
- Barichara and Villa de Leyva stand out for their charm and history, offering perfect settings for relaxation and exploration.
- Jardín is another favorite, especially for its surrounding landscapes and warm atmosphere.
- Mompox is a village I adore for its tranquility and unique setting along the Magdalena River.

Guachalito
My favorite beach in Colombia.
Imagine a long black sand beach nestled between a dense tropical forest and the Pacific Ocean. Aside from a few small fishing villages, there’s no sign of human impact.
There are no roads, and the only ways to get around are on foot or by boat. Scattered throughout this serene, paradisiacal setting, you’ll find a few simple yet comfortable ecolodges, perfectly integrated into the natural environment.
+ These ecolodges offer an authentic experience, allowing you to reconnect with nature while enjoying the tranquility and beauty of this untouched place.
+ For me, it’s one of the most romantic destinations in Colombia.
+ There’s whale season, but you can also surf and swim with whale sharks.
– It’s rather difficult to organize your stay on your own (especially if you don’t speak Spanish).
– It rains regularly.
- Getting there: You’ll need to take a flight from the small Medellín airport to Nuquí, followed by a 40-minute boat ride.
- Duration: I recommend staying for 4 to 5 days to make the most of the travel costs and time. Trust me, you’ll be sad to leave your ecolodge.
- With whom: The best option is to book an all-inclusive stay at an ecolodge.
- When: I prefer visiting either during the dry season (January to March) or during whale season (July to October).
- Difficulty: 4/10. The hardest part is booking your flight and choosing your ecolodge. After that, it’s an exciting adventure.
El Valle is another great spot on the Pacific coast where you’ll be less dependent on your ecolodge, making it easier to organize activities on your own.

Safari in Los Llanos
The best way to observe wildlife.
A safari llanero immerses you in the vast plains of Los Llanos, where you set out early in the morning or late afternoon to observe wildlife.
Accompanied by a guide, you’ll travel by jeep, horseback, or sometimes on foot to get closer to the animals.
The days are filled with intense wildlife spotting in nature reserves and hatos (ranches), where you’ll discover llanero culture.
+ What I love about a safari llanero is the abundance of wildlife. It’s one of the few places where you can see so many animals in their natural habitat. I was amazed to see so many capybaras.
+ The sunrises are stunning, and I loved taking long horseback rides through the savanna.
+ The llanero culture fascinated me, especially their music and the locals’ cheerful attitude.
– It gets extremely hot during the day. During the rainy season, some areas become inaccessible.
– Transport costs are high. Therefore, it’s not a cheap destination.
- Getting there: To organize your safari, I recommend starting from Yopal, where I met excellent specialized agencies and hatos.
- Duration: Plan for 3 to 5 days, depending on where you want to go and which animals you want to observe.
- With whom: You can ask an agency to organize a personalized excursion or go directly to a hato that has been converted into a nature reserve.
- When: The best time to observe wildlife is from December to April.
- Difficulty: 3/10. The only challenge is the heat. Depending on your physical condition, you can choose to do everything by jeep or opt for horseback and hikes.
If you’re looking for a different experience, the Amazon offers incredible biodiversity. However, due to the density of the forest, animals are harder to spot. The Amazon is better suited if you’re seeking a more immersive adventure and a deeper exploration of the jungle.

Providencia
The most amazing Colombian island.
Providencia is a small island of 17 km² located in the Colombian Caribbean. It’s known for its paradise beaches, turquoise waters, and pristine environment.
The island is part of the San Andrés, Providencia, and Santa Catalina Archipelago and is home to some of the world’s largest coral reefs, making it a top destination for diving and snorkeling.
+ What I love about Providencia is its authenticity. The island has remained untouched, far from mass tourism, giving you a true sense of disconnecting from the world.
+ The locals are welcoming, and their Creole culture adds a unique dimension to every visit.
+ The various shades of turquoise in the sea are incredible, and the visibility for diving is amazing.
+ I found that everything was easy to do. You rent a golf cart and just follow the island’s only road to reach the most beautiful beaches. Simple life. Happy life.
– It’s a long and expensive journey to get there.
- Getting there: To reach Providencia, you first have to go through San Andrés (2-3h flight), then take a 15-minute flight or a catamaran.
- Duration: I recommend spending at least 6 days on the island to fully enjoy everything it has to offer.
- When: The Caribbean hurricane season runs from June to November.
If Providencia feels too remote, you can choose to visit the San Bernardo Islands or the Rosario Islands to get a glimpse of paradise.

San Jose del Guaviare
Rock paintings in the middle of nowhere.
San José del Guaviare is a town located between the Llanos Orientales and the Amazon in southern Colombia. It’s a region full of mysteries, with colorful rivers, ancient rock paintings, and astonishing biodiversity.
Once marked by conflict, the area has transformed into a top destination for nature and adventure enthusiasts.
+ I love San José del Guaviare for its authenticity and its still-wild nature. It’s an immersive experience far from the tourist crowds.
+ The rock paintings at Cerro Azul and the beauty of the colorful rivers fascinate me every time.
+ I found it interesting to hear the locals’ stories and their professional transitions (from coca farming to tourism).
+ The activities are varied and well-organized. I was never bored.
– The tourist infrastructure is limited.
- Getting there: You can take a flight or a bus from Bogotá.
- Duration: I recommend spending 4 days, working with a local agency to optimize your visits.
- With whom: I explored Guaviare with this expert.
- When: It’s best to visit from June to November, during the rainy season, to see the famous colorful river (similar to Caño Cristales) as well as the pozos naturales (cool natural pools).
- Difficulty: 5/10. The excursions often include jeep or boat rides, and most sites require a bit of walking.
Two spots share a similar atmosphere in departments that are just beginning to open up to tourism.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Cerros de Mavecure and my adventure to Meseta and Maracaibo in Meta.

Most Adventurous things to do in Colombia
How I enjoy Colombia’s breathtaking nature.
Horseback riding
Be ready to become a Colombian cow-boy.
Horses are an integral part of rural life in Colombia. In remote areas, where building roads is often complicated by mountainous terrain and dense forests, horses have become essential for transportation and carrying goods.
Personally, I love this activity. Whether you’re riding through lush valleys, mountain trails, or open plains, each horseback ride immerses you in the natural beauty of the country while offering a moment of relaxation.
For me, Los Llanos is the best place for long horseback rides. The Llaneros, Colombia’s cowboys, rely on horses as their main mode of transportation to work in the vast hatos (ranches). The cowboy culture is rich and fascinating, and the wide plains of Los Llanos are perfect for observing wildlife while riding.
I also loved my horseback ride in San Agustín to explore the archaeological sites scattered around the town.
Antioquia and the Coffee Region, especially Filandia and Salento, also offer excellent horseback excursions. Another memorable experience was in Jardín, where I rode up to the stunning Chorro Blanco waterfall.
In Medellín, weekend horseback rides are a chance to party, with everyone bringing music and a bottle of aguardiente. It’s a unique way to explore the countryside in great company!
- If you’re not accustomed to riding, a 2-3 hour ride will be more than enough.
- In Colombia, people don’t usually wear riding helmets.

Scuba Diving
Where to be like Jacques Cousteau.
Diving in Colombia is becoming increasingly popular, with diverse and affordable underwater sites.
On the Pacific coast, you might have the chance to swim alongside humpback whales or whale sharks—an unforgettable experience.
On the Caribbean coast, the waters are so clear that it feels like you’re floating in the air. With temperatures of 27-28°C, I’ve never even needed to wear a wetsuit.
If your goal is to observe impressive marine life like whales and sharks, the Colombian Pacific islands—especially Gorgona and Malpelo—are the top destinations. These islands are renowned for their rich biodiversity, where you can swim with hammerhead sharks and spot humpback whales during migration season.
On the other hand, if you’re looking for ideal diving conditions with crystal-clear water and comfortable temperatures, head to the San Andrés and Providencia islands. There, the spectacular coral reefs and exceptional visibility make every dive a magical experience.
Along the Caribbean coast, the most famous dive site is Taganga, but I prefer more intimate spots like Sapzurro or Isla Fuerte. The latter is particularly special due to its proximity to the Bushnell Reef, a well-preserved and beautiful site for exploring the underwater world.
- The Caribbean coast is the most affordable place to get your certifications, but if your budget allows, I highly recommend Providencia.
- On the islands, diving conditions are consistently great all year. However, on the coast, the conditions can change due to wind and currents. Be sure to check with your dive center.

Surfing
Where to catch the best waves in Colombia.
I won’t lie—I don’t know how to surf! 😄 But that doesn’t stop me from sharing the best options for getting started or improving your skills.
On the Caribbean coast, the spots are fine for beginners or those who prefer to take it easy.
If you’re after more adrenaline, head to the Pacific coast. That’s where you’ll find big waves and legendary spots, surrounded by paradise-like landscapes with deserted beaches and tropical forests in the background. It’s the ideal place if you want to combine surfing with total disconnection.
- You can give surfing a try if you’re in the area between Palomino and Tayrona. There are a few schools along the coast.
- On the Pacific coast, the best spot is Termales (near Nuquí). There’s a hostel (Vijo) that can take you to surf spots only accessible by boat. However, you’ll need to have a good skill level to take on those waves. A simpler alternative is to head to El Valle.

Canyoning
For a different way to the waterfall.
Canyoning in Colombia is all about pure adrenaline in stunning landscapes. What I enjoy most is the diversity of the terrain: deep canyons, towering waterfalls, and clear rivers. Every rappel or jump into a natural pool connects you with wild, unspoiled nature, offering an adventure away from the crowds.
San Carlos is a must-visit spot, just 4 hours from Medellín, offering options for beginners like Cañon La Vieja with its 18- and 30-meter waterfalls or more intense challenges like Cañon Grande and Cañon de la Chorrera.
In the south, Cali and its surrounding 7 rivers also provide incredible experiences. And if you’re looking to explore lesser-known destinations, the canyons of Caquetá and Meta are perfect, with spectacular sites like Guape and Cañon Siete Cascadas.

Paragliding
The best way to enjoy Colombia landscapes
Paragliding is an easy activity to do because it’s accessible for (almost) all ages, and you don’t need to be in great physical shape. In Colombia, many centers offer 15-30 minute flights at very affordable rates. And the view of the Andes mountains is always breathtaking!
- The most famous spot near Medellin is San Felix—you’ll see the city from the sky; it’s incredible. But you can also paraglide in Sopetran or towards Cocorna.
- In Jerico, you can soar above the canyon del Cauca.
- Near San Gil, there’s the stunning spot of Aratoca, where you can admire Chicamocha Canyon.
- Near Cali, you can take off from El Cerrito to glide over sugarcane plantations and rivers.
- In the coffee region, there are Apia and Buenavista for paragliding adventures.

Exploring the Amazon
The best way to become Indiana Jones.
The Amazon is, for me, a captivating region that awakens the spirit of adventure.
It’s a delicate balance between the peaceful contemplation of the Amazon River, the thrill of finally encountering a wild animal, the adrenaline of nights deep in the jungle where every sound becomes a mystery, and the personal enrichment from interacting with indigenous communities who have learned to live in harmony with this majestic yet hostile nature.
It’s an immersive experience where every moment is a lesson in respect and wonder.
The Amazon covers about 40% of Colombia’s territory, but the Amazon River itself borders only a small part, in the far south of the country. This is where most travelers head. From Leticia, the main town, you can embark on multi-day expeditions deep into the jungle, visit indigenous communities, stay in an all-inclusive ecolodge, or explore the charming town of Puerto Nariño. It’s in this area that you’ll get the “full” Amazon experience.
However, you can also choose to explore the gateway to the Amazon, at the border between the jungle and the andean mountains. This region is just as fascinating, with an even more impressive diversity of landscapes and biodiversity. I loved my stays in San José del Guaviare and Inírida.
- Take the time to plan your trip well. Ideally, stay for at least 5 days to make up for the travel time and explore thoroughly.
- Book your excursions in advance to avoid any unpleasant surprises with unreliable agencies.
- Prepare yourself physically and mentally: the Amazon can be demanding, with its hot and humid climate. A more “comfortable” option is to stay in an ecolodge. I loved my jungle experience here.

Tubing
The chillest things to do in Colombia.
Imagine yourself comfortably floating on a large inner tube, drifting gently in the middle of a river. The current leisurely carries you toward the sea, through lush vegetation where you might glimpse ibises, monkeys, and kingfishers, all peacefully enjoying the cool environment. Just a few arm and leg movements are enough to steer you in the right direction—and those are the only efforts you’ll need to make.
Pretty nice, right? Now you see why I love tubing.
The most well-known spot for tubing is Palomino, but during the dry season, the water level can sometimes be too low to fully enjoy the activity. That’s why I recommend Don Diego instead.
Another ideal location with even more spectacular scenery is San Cipriano (2 hours from Cali).
- The sun in Colombia can be intense. Make sure to wear a t-shirt and hat while tubing.
- I enjoy bringing beers along for the ride. Just be sure to take a plastic bag with you to avoid leaving any trash behind.

Rafting
My favorite activity in Colombia.
Colombia is a dream come true for rafting and kayaking enthusiasts across the globe. The country is teeming with powerful rivers that flow through breathtaking, often pristine landscapes.
These rivers offer a wide range of courses, from tranquil sections perfect for beginners to challenging rapids suited for the most experienced.
San Gil is the rafting capital of Colombia, especially for thrill-seekers, with Class 4 and 5 rapids. It’s the only destination in the country where you can find rapids this intense.
But if you prefer a more laid-back adventure focused on natural beauty, the Guejar Canyon is a true gem. Here, adrenaline gives way to awe, with spectacular landscapes at every turn. What I loved most was being able to stop along the way to explore trails along the cliffs and discover massive waterfalls hidden deep within the canyon.
For a perfect blend of adrenaline and breathtaking scenery, I recommend heading to Medellín, specifically near San Francisco. I love working with this expert. You can even leave for several days and go wild camping by the river, making the experience even more magical.

Hiking in a paramo
A magical and breathtaking ecosystem.
Páramos are unique ecosystems found only in four countries, with Colombia hosting the majority of them. Located at high altitudes between 3,000 and 4,500 meters, these wetlands are crucial as the source of many of the country’s rivers. The landscapes are breathtaking, dominated by frailejones, iconic plants that seem to have come straight out of a storybook. These ecosystems are also home to remarkable wildlife, including the spectacled bear and the majestic condor, making the experience even more fascinating.
I love organizing multi-day treks in these páramos, where you can fully immerse yourself in nature. Staying in lodges run by friendly locals adds an authentic touch to the adventure, letting you discover not only the natural beauty but also the rich culture and hospitality of Colombia.
There are many páramos in Colombia, but not all of them are accessible to the public. If you only have a day, you have several options:
- From Bogotá, you can explore the Chingaza or Sumapaz páramos.
- From Medellín, the Belmira páramo is an excellent option.
- The Puracé páramo is accessible from Popayán, with the added bonus of seeing a volcano and hot springs.
- The Cocuy páramo is spectacular. You can choose from three different circuits, each offering incredible views of snow-capped peaks.
- Two other lesser-known but equally charming páramos can be accessed from picturesque villages: Pijao and Sonsón.
For an even more exceptional adventure, I recommend a multi-day trek in the Los Nevados páramo.
- For some páramos, you’re allowed to visit without a guide. However, the trails aren’t well-marked, and it’s very easy to get lost. It’s better to hire a local guide—not only to support the local economy but also to ensure you make it back in one piece!
- Make sure to protect yourself from the sun and the rain. The weather changes quickly.
- I prefer doing these treks during the dry season to avoid muddy trails.

Kitesurfing
Perfect conditions all year long.
I may not be a pro at kitesurfing, but I’ve had the chance to chat with many local experts in Colombia. Kitesurfing has really taken off in the country over the past twenty years.
The affordable prices for lessons and equipment rental make it an ideal destination for beginners. Plus, the incredible landscapes, whether on lakes or along the Caribbean Sea, add a unique dimension to the experience. The consistent winds and pleasant temperatures year-round are also major advantages that make kitesurfing in Colombia particularly appealing.
- Cabo de la Vela: Known for its flat sea and laid-back vibe.
- Santa Veronica: A popular spot with consistent winds from January to April and good waves.
- San Andrés: For kitesurfing in warm, turquoise waters.
- Lago Calima: A lake spot with strong winds year-round.
- Riohacha: Ideal for beginners and planning kitesurf trips to Punta Gallinas.
- Best season: December to April for strong and steady winds.
- Equipment: A light wetsuit is recommended for lakes but not necessary on the Caribbean coast.
- Community: Spots like Cabo de la Vela and Santa Veronica have very welcoming kitesurfing communities.

Cultural sites and activities in Colombia
To better understand Colombia
Colombian Markets
Traveling through the senses.
The markets in Colombia are a fantastic way to get a quick glimpse of the country’s culinary culture. I especially love going there to discover exotic fruits that are as strange as they are delicious and to grab lunch.
My favorite market is in Cali (Alameda) because it’s surprisingly well-organized and clean, and the Pacific cuisine is delicious.
Paloquemao is the largest market in Bogotá. If you love exotic fruits, this is the place to be.
Bazurto is Cartagena’s open-air market. It’s a labyrinth of organized chaos.
- No need to visit a large market if you just want to taste a few fruits. Bring a spoon and a napkin, and buy them individually. 😉
- It’s best to go in the morning when everything is open.

Museums
An easy and cheap thing to do in Colombia.
The history of Colombia is both complex and captivating, shaped by events such as colonization, independence, internal conflicts, and social movements.
Colombian museums provide fascinating insights into this past, helping visitors understand how these events have influenced the country’s present.
Arts and Culture: To delve into the work of Colombia’s two most famous artists, visit the Museo de García Márquez in Aracataca or the Museo Botero in Bogotá or Medellín (inside the Museo de Antioquia). For a broader look at the arts, the MAMBO and MAMU in Bogotá are must-see destinations.
History: In my opinion, the most comprehensive museum on Colombia’s history is the Museo Nacional in Bogotá. I also recommend visiting the various Museo de Oro locations (especially in Bogotá and Cartagena) to learn more about the indigenous peoples before colonization. Another must-see is the Quinta de San Pedro in Santa Marta, which offers insight into the life of Simón Bolívar.
The Conflict: To better understand the causes and effects of the Colombian civil war, I suggest visiting the Museo de la Memoria in Medellín and the Claustro de San Agustín in Bogotá.
- Much of the information in these museums is only available in Spanish, which might make the experience more difficult for non-Spanish speakers. Using your phone and Google Translate can be helpful.
- Cultural tours with a local guide or free walking tours in the country’s larger cities are also great ways to ask all your questions.

Amazing Street arts
Uncovering hidden messages in art.
Street art in Colombia fascinates me because it’s much more than just an artistic expression. It’s a vibrant mirror of Colombian society, capturing decades of struggle, resistance, and hope through powerful images and social messages.
What I love most is how each wall tells a story, often connected to key moments in the country’s history, such as the fight against inequality or tributes to indigenous cultures.
- Bogotá: Visit the La Candelaria district with the Bogotá Graffiti Tour to discover artworks influenced by hip-hop and various social movements.
- Medellín: Comuna 13 is a must-visit for its stunning murals, symbols of the renaissance of a neighborhood once marked by violence.
- Cartagena: Head to the Getsemaní neighborhood to see the vibrant street art that embellishes the old colonial buildings.

Archeological sites
To step back into history for a moment.
While Colombia doesn’t boast sites as significant as those in Peru or Mexico, there are still mysterious civilizations that left behind intriguing places worth exploring.
San Agustín, known as the archaeological capital of the Huila department, is celebrated for its archaeological park. This World Heritage site features the largest collection of religious sculptures and stone monuments in South America, dating back to 3300 BC and showcasing the beliefs and funerary practices of the ancient Agustinian culture.
Tierradentro, located in Cauca, is a significant archaeological site featuring hypogea—underground collective tombs—dating from 600 to 900 AD. These nine-meter-deep structures, adorned with geometric and anthropomorphic designs, reflect an advanced agricultural civilization. The site, located in San Andrés de Pisambalá, has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1995.

Religious sites
Colombians have strong religious beliefs.
In Colombia, I hear “Si Dios quiere” or “Gracias a Dios” all the time. In every village, you’ll find a large church on the main square. These churches are usually simple in design (the gold was mostly sent to Europe) and are sometimes painted in surprising colors, like the pink one in Jericó.
There are also a few unique sites that stand out and are part of the religious pilgrimage for many Colombians.
- Monserrate, at 3,152 meters, is Bogotá’s spiritual and scenic jewel. The sanctuary, dedicated to El Señor Caído, offers panoramic views of the city. Accessible by cable car, funicular, or a 1,600-step hike, it’s a popular spot for both religious pilgrims and tourists.
- Zipaquira, an underground cathedral carved inside a salt mine, is a unique blend of faith and artistry. The site includes intricate carvings and biblical scenes, making it both a spiritual sanctuary and a stunning architectural wonder.
- Las Lajas, a neo-Gothic marvel in a canyon near Ipiales, is famed for its miraculous origins and breathtaking design
Indigenous communities
To gain a different perspective on the world.
Colombia is home to a vast diversity of indigenous ethnicities, each with its own traditions and unique characteristics, showcasing the rich cultural mosaic of the country.
Colombia’s indigenous people have cultivated a deep connection with nature, a bond that endures despite the atrocities committed by colonizers. What I appreciate most about visiting them is the chance to delve into their beliefs and lifestyles while contributing directly to their conservation efforts.
There are many indigenous communities around Leticia (Amazon), making it the easiest place to stay for several days. San Martín is the community that left the strongest impression on me due to its authenticity.
Many indigenous people descended from the Taironas live in the Sierra Nevada. These villages are not easily accessible and generally do not receive tourists—unless you go with a specialized agency.
The Wayuu of La Guajira are the most populous ethnic group. The best way to learn more about them is to visit their rancheria.

Playing tejo
The funniest thing to do in Colombia.
Tejo is a 500-year-old game that involves throwing a metal disc (originally made of gold!) at a target, aiming to get as close to the center as possible to score points. Depending on where your disc lands, it can also hit small paper pouches filled with gunpowder, causing loud explosions (and earning you extra points). It’s like pétanque, but way more fun.
The bonus: you usually drink plenty of beer while listening to Colombian music!
The best Tejo spots are in Bogotá, but I also found a great Tejo place in Salento.
You can play in Medellín too, but you need to book in advance, and it’s not open every day

Join a Colombian festival
To understand how Colombians like to party.
Colombians love finding an excuse to celebrate, which explains the incredible number of festivals across the country.
These events often last several days and combine daytime cultural activities with evening concerts. Everyone dances, throws flour and foam, and laughs together. Every time, it’s an absolute delight!
- Feria de las Flores (August): In Medellín, this festival is a burst of color with parades of flowers carried by the silleteros. I love how it celebrates Paisa culture.
- Feria de Cali (December): During this festival, Cali becomes a temple of salsa. I adore the electrifying atmosphere of the concerts and dance parades.
- Festival Petronio Álvarez (August): A celebration of Afro-Colombian culture in Cali, this festival is rich with Pacific rhythms, highlighting unique musical traditions.
- Carnaval de Barranquilla (February): This carnival is a riot of color and music, putting Caribbean culture in the spotlight.
- Festivals are very popular in Colombia, and everyone wants to attend. Book your accommodation well in advance. The same goes for tickets if there are paid events.
- Pickpockets are often around. Keep a close eye on your belongings.
- The schedule is often released at the last minute. Keep an eye on the various festivals’ Instagram accounts.

Dance Salsa
The best way to enjoy Colombia’s nightlife.
There are many musical styles in Colombia—joropo, cumbia, bachata, merengue, and champeta—and I enjoy them all.
But the one style that captivates me the most is salsa.
Colombia has produced many great salsa artists: Joe Arroyo, Grupo Niche, Fruko y sus Tesos, Sonora Carruseles.
The fusion of instruments, the vacation vibe, the exhilarating nights, the dance steps, and the way bodies intertwine and move apart—there’s a certain magic in salsa that, to me, is simply irresistible.
Even though salsa can be heard almost everywhere in Colombia, there’s one place where it’s a religion: the city of Cali. You’ll find countless bars, parties, and salsa schools there.
You can also find specialized salsa bars in major cities like Cartagena, Bogotá, Medellín, and Manizales.
Your biggest enemy will be… embarrassment. Colombians have been listening to and dancing salsa since they were kids at family gatherings. Even though most of them only know the basic steps, it might seem pretty complicated to you at first. But don’t compare yourself to them. Just give it a try. No one will laugh at you. 😉
Some hostels and salsa bars offer free group lessons. It’s the perfect opportunity to start learning!

Coffee in Colombia
Why is Colombian coffee so famous?
Colombia has made a bet on producing high-quality coffee. Here, you’ll only find Arabica coffee, which grows at altitudes around 1,500 meters. This results in a wider variety of flavors in terms of acidity, bitterness, and sweetness. Each bean is hand-picked to ensure that only the ripe ones are harvested and that defective beans are set aside.
If you start to dive deeper into the world of coffee, you’ll learn that there are different methods for drying the beans (semi-washed, honey, and natural), which add even more complexity to the flavors.
Beyond the taste, coffee farming supports more than 600,000 families in Colombia, and visiting these small farms offers incredible cultural experiences.
In Colombia, there are various ways to dive into the world of coffee.
- In big cities like Bogotá and Medellín, you can participate in coffee tastings, similar to wine tastings. It’s a chance to discover the aromas and flavors that appeal to you most.
- You can also visit fincas (coffee farms) to learn more about the entire process, from seed to cup. Some farms offer a more authentic and rustic experience, while others are very educational, providing detailed explanations.
- Although you can visit fincas throughout Colombia, I especially recommend the Antioquia department and the Coffee Region.
- Sandflies are often present in coffee plantations, so don’t wear shorts and flip-flops.
- The lower-quality beans, known as pasilla, stay in Colombia and are what most people drink here. This is why many travelers are disappointed with their morning tinto. To truly enjoy your coffee, visit a specialty café.

Cooking classes
The most delicious thing to do in Colombia.
I love cooking with locals because it’s a wonderful moment of sharing, and it’s something you can easily bring back home with you.
It was in Cartagena that I took my best cooking classes. There are various options available, whether in a restaurant or in a more local setting, cooking over a wood fire in the village of La Boquilla.

After years of working in Colombian tourism, I keep seeing travelers make the same mistakes: they travel too fast, visit the same places, miscalculate travel times, book the wrong activities, and so on. And even if they have a great time, they always say: “Ah, if only I had known, I would have done things differently.”
