Gran Zona del Caribe Colombiano, una de las grandes zonas de Colombia
El Caribe colombiano, una de las grandes zonas de Colombia, es un paraíso de ensueño, es mucho más que playas de arena blanca y aguas turquesas. Es un caleidoscopio de culturas, una sinfonía de colores y ritmos. Sus islas ofrecen desde relajación serena hasta vibrante vida nocturna. El Caribe es la mezcla perfecta de historia colonial, exuberante naturaleza tropical y una hospitalidad que te envuelve como una cálida brisa marina.
Cartagena de Indias, founded in 1533 by Pedro de Heredia. During the Spanish colonization, it was a strategic port and strongly fortified against pirate and corsair attacks. The city was one of the main centers for the slave trade in Latin America. Its geographic location and imposing walls made it a crucial defensive stronghold. In 1811, Cartagena proclaimed its independence from Spain, marking a milestone in the struggle for South American emancipation.
Las murallas de Cartagena
Cartagena's historic walls and fortifications are living testimonies of its colonial past. The city was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984. Cartagena is famous for its colonial architecture, cultural festivals and beaches; and this unique blend of history, culture and natural beauty elevates it as a fascinating destination in the Colombian Caribbean.
From Cartagena you can make countless day trips. Our recommendation would be to visit any island of the archipelago of the Rosario Islands, formed by 27 islands and surrounded by coral reefs and turquoise waters in the extension of the Corales del Rosario and San Bernardo National Park .

The Great Zone of the Colombian Andes and the Eje Cafetero.

Under the guidance of an expert, you will discover the entire coffee process, from its cultivation and harvesting to the different techniques used to prepare an espresso, cappuccino, macchiato or mocachino. At the end of the experience, you will develop the ability to recognize these delicious creations by tasting them.
What other wonders will you discover every step of the way?
Salento, a place where time seems to stand still. This town with colorful colonial-style houses and wooden balconies adorned with flowers, welcomes you. Stroll slowly through its cobblestone streets to the central square, and let yourself be bathed by the warm touch of the sun with the locals.
Salento is the gateway to the Cocora Valley, a short drive takes you to this magnificent place located in the central mountain range of the Andes, there grow some very special inhabitants: the palms or wax palms, a national species of Colombia. If you thought you had seen tall palms, wait, because you will have to rub your eyes twice to believe what you see, the tallest palms in the world, up to seventy meters high.
We continue getting to know the coffee region. This time we rode in an all-terrain jeep, a fun ride on roads that wiggle through the mountains and show us panoramic views of nature, coffee plantations, springs and streams, taking us to picturesque coffee villages in the area. All of them share the same love and care for coffee, and all of them have other special things to show us, even a theme park (in Quimbaya).
Here are some of them, located in the central mountain range:
Calarcá - It is the second largest municipality in the region. It has developed throughout its rich history a true culture around coffee (in June of each year it celebrates the National Coffee Festival). It is also the birthplace of several poets, and its colonial architecture also delights us with murals and poems or fragments of them in some buildings.
In Calarcá, besides tasting an excellent coffee and getting to know the city on foot, it is essential to visit the Botanical Garden and the Butterfly Farm.
You will leave this place with your five senses brimming with experiences.
Pijao - This small town at 1,700 meters above sea level is a hidden and unexplored treasure. It was once one of the epicenters of the Colombian conflict, which has made it more isolated from outside eyes. Today, now a quiet town, it shows travelers who do want to look at it, its dance, its music, its architecture, the stunning natural beauty that surrounds it, and of course, a good coffee.
Buenavista - Its name already gives us clues. The viewpoint of this municipality is a natural balcony with panoramic views of extensive coffee plantations, green valleys and the rolling hills of the Cordillera Central, reaching as far as the Cauca Valley.
It is an excellent enclave for the practice of outdoor activities. Adrenaline lovers can take the opportunity to enjoy a bird's eye view of the landscape by paragliding. For those who want an equally beautiful but quieter experience, the activity is to do some of the most recommended hiking trails: Cañón de los Juanes, Cerro de las Tres Cruces, Camino de los Indios, and the Micro cuenca la Picota.
No matter how much we tell you about the Colombian Andes, it will always be too little. They are many treasures in one: its mountainous topography and the landscape it draws, the colonial cities, the indigenous cultures, the history they carry with them, the native traditions, the respect for their environment and nature, their home. Words describe and can help expand the mind, but living it can expand the soul.

Bogota, Colombia's welcoming gateway.
Bogotá, la capital de Colombia, es una metrópoli dinámica y diversa situada en el altiplano andino. Mientras caminas por ella te cuenta su rica historia; las calles empedradas de La Candelaria te susurran historias; algo más alto hablan sus imponentes edificaciones en la Plaza de Bolívar.
La ciudad mezcla de manera exquisita la arquitectura colonial con la modernidad de sus distritos financieros.
Bogota is surrounded by mountains, and the Cerro de Monserrate is the viewpoint par excellence of panoramic views. Imagine being on top of a mountain, contemplating the expanse of Bogota at your feet. A green city, full of tree-lined avenues, as if it wanted to be even closer to the nature of the surrounding mountains.

City tour por Bogotá
A city tour is the best option for touring the city. It usually starts in the center, in the Plaza de Bolivar, where the national capitol is located. As you walk around it, look inside, and through its windows you will be able to contemplate wonderful works of art on the ceilings and walls.

Pero si quieres salirte de lo convencional y apostar, como Go & Travel, por una nueva definición de Colombia, camina un poquitín más y visita Fragmentos. Es un espacio de Arte y Memoria concebido como un contramonumento, realizado por la artista Doris Salcedo.
Las láminas que conforman el suelo de este espacio han sido realizadas con las 8.994 armas depuestas por la antigua guerrilla de las FARC, tras la firma del Acuerdo de Paz.
Plaza de Bolívar: this is the political and social heart of Bogotá, surrounded by majestic buildings such as the Catedral Primada and the Palacio de Justicia. The equestrian statue of Simon Bolivar dominates the square.
Botero Museum: home to a unique collection of works by Fernando Botero, the famous Colombian artist. You will be able to contemplate and appreciate his distinctive style of voluptuous and generous figures.
Casa de la Moneda: a colonial building that now houses the Casa de la Moneda Museum, where you will learn about the history of currency and printing in Colombia.
Calle del Embudo: a picturesque cobblestone street that stands out for its colonial architecture and colorful facades. It is the perfect place to take a leisurely stroll and enjoy the historic atmosphere.
Chorro de Quevedo: considered the birthplace of Bogota, it is a picturesque place full of history and culture. Here you will find bars, cafes and murals that give it a bohemian touch.Santa Clara Church: beautiful church of colonial architecture with a rich history. Its cloister houses a museum with religious art and historical treasures.
