Colombia Tours

The answer to this question is contingent on the destination. The Caribbean coast experiences dry weather roughly between December and April; on the other hand, Bogotá is dry from approximately December to March and between July and August. The Lost City trek can be done during dry weather, so the excursion is closed every September.

The best places to go are Cartagena, Bogota, Medellin and the Coffee Triangle. If you’d like full adventure, consider adding the Lost City or the Amazon.

The U.S. State Department rates Colombia Level 3, “Reconsider Travel” because of crime, terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping and natural disasters and lists specific areas at Level 4, “Do Not Travel.” If you travel, use ride hailing apps or hotel-arranged transport, do not resist a robbery and avoid long road trips at night.
