- ALorna· February 5th, 2023It's difficult to pick out one thing as it was all very good and each thing could be seen by one person as the highlight and another thing as the highlight for somebody else.

- AHannah· February 23rd, 2023Staying at the hotel at the beach at Palomino. Despite the lack of hot water it was such a good experience I will remember. I also enjoyed Guatapé- climbing El Piñon and the town. Communa 13 and Medellin, the funicular to Montserrat in Bogotá, the sunset by the pool at the Hacienda in the coffee region. I felt the itinerary was a good mix and the beach was needed when we got to the coast, mixture of city and more rural areas and a mix of different hotels.Show moreTrip date: February 2023Review collected by Explore!

Katie
Asked on November 13th, 2023Question I have is that under Accommodation there is mention of stay at Popoyan but this location is not mentioned on the Itinery. Can you please clarify?
Explore!Operator•Written November 2023We aim to stay in perfectly located properties. In Bogota we're located near the La Candelaria area, near the Gold Museum. In Cartagena we stay within the walled city, and in Armenia our hotel is located in the countryside. Please note that our hotel in Palomino doesn't always have hot water available. The Caribbean climate usually benefits from a refreshing cold shower.
