Colombia Tours for Seniors
Our senior travelers really appreciate how we pace things in Colombia - no rushing, just time to properly experience each place. One 13-day trip that gets great feedback shows you Colombia's different sides while staying in lovely character hotels where you can properly settle in. You'll explore Bogota's Gold Museum, join cooking sessions in traditional haciendas and chat with coffee farmers about their craft. We've got another route that focuses on colonial heritage where you'll wander Barichara's old streets, visit local artisans and take some beautiful drives through Chicamocha Canyon. Our guides are great at reading the group's rhythm and many guests mention how much they enjoy having free time between the organized activities.
