Barichara & Guane
Barichara is often called the most beautiful town in Colombia. Its traditional buildings and mountain scenery make it special. Walk the historic Camino Real down to Guane village. "The countryside walks were on undulating terrain with well-trodden paths." Consider bringing walking poles if you have knee problems.

Medellin
See Colombia's city of innovation. Take the cable car to Comuna 13, which has transformed from a troubled area into an artistic hub. Visit the colorful town of Guatape and climb El Penol's 700 steps. "Comuna 13 with its colorful streets & vibrant life is a lesson in history and resilience."

Cartagena: Begin in the walled colonial city.
"The city tour gave us incredible insight into Cartagena's history, though I'd recommend bringing plenty of water - the humidity inside the fortress walls can be intense." Keep in mind that hot water is uncommon in Caribbean Colombia, so expect refreshing cold showers.
- Day 3

What people love about 2-week Colombia tours
- Contrasts of Colombia
Great your. Very full itinerary. Could have done with 1 more day. Excellent guide.
- Colombia's Caribbean Coast & Lost City
Challenging but Juan Diego kept us safe and made it great
- Colombian Cultural and Natural Immersion Tour
Great itinerary, well planned. We saw a lot and we loved it. Very nice 4 stars hotels which are close enough but not exactly in the downtown of each city. If you prefer the hotels to be in downtown, you can ask the agency to do so, but be wary that it will be very noisy in downtown. Private tours every day were organized and transportation drivers and guides were very friendly and helpful. Internal flight tickets were included and transfers to and from the airports were covered. All in all, we loved it! P.s. Although the tour is open for public and you might be part of a group, but most likely you will be by yourself / no one else in the group. Being part of a group can be fun but can also be daunting. Being by yourself makes the trip more customized to your needs and preferences, and much faster. I definitely recommend this tour. Worth it!
