Hidden Gems of Colombia

Bogota

Culture vultures are in for a special treat today as we explore Bogotá’s vibrant art and literary scene. Immerse yourself in the world of Colombia’s most celebrated artist at the Museo Botero, or delve into the fascinating mind of Nobel laureate Gabriel García Márquez at the Centro Cultural dedicated to his works.

And for a glimpse into the country’s rich history, the Gold Museum houses the world’s largest collection of pre-Columbian gold artifacts – a sight that’s sure to leave you awestruck.

We’ll take a breathtaking cable car ride to the summit of Monserrate, where panoramic views will leave you speechless. Explore the charming historic village, snap envy-inducing pics, browse artisan treasures, and savor traditional Colombian delicacies. If we time it right, we might even catch a sunset that’ll rival any postcard.

And of course, no visit to Bogotá would be complete without wandering the cobblestone streets of La Candelaria, the city’s oldest neighborhood, with a refreshing chicha (a must-try traditional Colombian drink) in hand.

Medellin

Medellín’s art scene is as vibrant as the story behind it, and nowhere is that more evident than in Comuna 13. Once considered the most dangerous neighborhood in what was once the world’s most dangerous city, it’s now a symbol of hope, where stunning murals tell stories of resilience and transformation.

Today, we’ll journey to this open-air gallery, led by the passionate artists of Casa Kolacho. They’ll share firsthand accounts of the neighborhood’s inspiring journey, introduce us to the artists behind the murals, and give us an insider’s look at this vibrant community that’s reclaiming its narrative through creativity.

Medellin – Guatapé

You’ll think you’re walking through the pages of a storybook as you meander through the streets of Guatapé, Colombia’s most colorful town. Vibrant-painted houses, cobblestone streets lined with shops showcasing colorful handcrafts, and a lakeside lunch that’s as delicious as the views await.

But first, we’ll kick off the day with a thrilling climb to the top of the iconic Peñol Boulder, a sight so spectacular, some even call it Colombia’s Machu Picchu. Prepare to be awestruck by the panoramic views of emerald-green mountains and shimmering blue lakes from the summit. It’s 740 steps all the way up, but trust us, it’s well worth it.

Later, we’ll hop on a motorboat for a scenic cruise, giving us a front-row seat to Guatapé’s natural beauty.
