What people love about touring Colombia solo
- Colombia Express
An excellent tour which included places we would never have dreamed of visiting ourselves, but it was not a ‘9-day’ one!
- Journeys: Explore Colombia National Geographic Journeys
Really good tour! Accommodation was 3 to 4 star level...no issues overall. Breakfast always included..some included meals they were very delicious. Tour was physical..you are walking quite a bit. The tour of wax palms in Salento area you will climb uphill quite a bit. You also dodge horse poop on trail. On way back you will be taxed on the steep hill going down. Make sure you use sunscreen! Overall mix of included tours and options at your own cost. Internal flights to cut down on bus driving.
- 5 Days Colombia-Discovering Risaralda’s Natural Treasures
We had a great trip to Peru and Equator Aoril ~May of 2025. Everything was arranged according to what was stated and planned- all pickups be it at the airport or for the day trips were on time. We had great tour guides. My only suggestion would be better rooms in some of the hotels that were picked- in two of the hotels we got rooms where they could have done better- Guayaquil and Cusco being the two places. Shout out to our tour planner Ronnie- did a great job and was very responsive- thanks!
What our customers ask about Colombia Tours for Solo Travelers
Are there any Colombia tours specifically designed for solo travelers?
Colombia's group tours bring people together through shared activities that make meeting others natural and easy. Whether joining coffee tastings at Hacienda San Alberto or playing traditional Tejo games in Salento travelers often form lasting connections. The social atmosphere is especially strong in Medellin and Cartagena where group dinners at places like Cafe del Mar create an inclusive environment. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "The group dynamic was amazing and our guide Alejandro made everyone feel welcome and involved."
Which regions of Colombia are most recommended for solo travelers on guided tours?
The dry season from December through March offers optimal conditions for group travel with more tour departures and reliable weather for outdoor activities. The Caribbean coast including Cartagena draws many visitors though the climate tends to be hot and humid near properties like Hotel Armeria Real. Booking data shows solo travelers predominantly join tours during December-January and July-August when group sizes are typically larger.
What level of fitness is required for Colombia tours as a solo traveler?
Tour intensity ranges from relaxed city explorations to more demanding adventures. The Lost City trek demands 4-6 hours of daily hiking in tropical conditions while city-focused itineraries like Intrepid's Cafe Colombia keep physical demands moderate. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "The Cocora Valley hike was challenging but manageable with group support and our guide's encouragement."
What kind of social opportunities are available for solo travelers on Colombia group tours?
Shared experiences naturally bring tour groups together from coffee farm visits in Salento to hikes through Tayrona National Park. Common spaces at accommodations like Masaya Hotel in Santa Marta and Ibis Hotel in Cartagena give travelers places to gather and connect. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Being part of a group can be fun...the guides and drivers were very friendly and helpful making it easy to connect with others."
What's included in meals on Colombia solo tours?
Tour packages typically cover daily breakfasts with select lunches and dinners included. Intrepid's Colombia Adventure provides 13 breakfasts 5 lunches and 5 dinners along with activities like Medellin walking tours and the Lost City trek. According to a TourRadar reviewer: "The included meals were excellent opportunities to bond with the group while trying local specialties."
What's the accommodation like on Colombia solo tours?
Lodging ranges from upscale hotels like Hotel BOG in Bogota to basic facilities during treks. Most tours use centrally located 3-4 star properties with options for private or shared rooms. A TourRadar reviewer shared: "The hotels were well-located for exploring especially the Hotel Armeria Real in Cartagena's historic center making it easy to meet up with group members for dinner or evening activities."
