What to Do in The Beaches

Discover top attractions, cultural highlights, and memorable activities across the city.

Snorkelling and diving

Snorkelling and diving

The sea activities and array of sea life are mind-blowing in Colombia. The coral reefs and ancient shipwrecks are incredible, the schools of fish and subaquatic terrains are stunning and the water is clear and crystalline, to have the perfect views of what mother nature has to offer. The Rosario Islands are a national park and are excellent for diving, snorkelling and simply relaxing!

Playa Blanca

Playa Blanca

This beach is found on the island of Barú. This is the perfect chill out and a must-do for beach bums visiting Colombia. The beach is quite popular in high season and it is for a very good reason! By day, the sea is incredible and blue and the by night the serene waters turn into a favourite hotspot for many, to dance the night away. This beach is the perfect escape from Cartagena should you need it, being only 1 hour away. 

Providencia Island

Providencia Island

These days, you’d be hard-pressed to find a Caribbean island that's not overrun by tourists. Many have lost their charm and authenticity with the development of large hotel chains and overcrowded beaches, but there is one island in the Caribbean that remains unspoiled and unquestionably authentic, just off the country's northern coast and forms part of Colombian territory. Providencia has everything you miss about the authentic Caribbean that you never knew.

12 day Tour, Lima, Cusco, Puno and Arequipa

Our guide Willington was absolutely superb. He made our holiday of a lifetime an amazing experience. His organisation of our large group was exemplary and went above and beyond with the help and care of those who suffered with the altitude.

Wonderful

Amazing Peru! We had Ruben as our tour guide and he made the experience for us such a wonderful one! He guided us through Lima, Amazon Jungle, Cusco, Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca and also an optional Mara’s and Moray tour. His knowledge of Peruvian history and of the sites he took us to was informative and relevant. His exceptionally caring demeanour towards our group and his great sense of humour and high energy made the 13 days together seeing Peru a pleasure for me. The tour was well organised, transport terrific and Ruben’s problem solving attributes perfect. Thanks so much Ruben, hope we meet again. My first Tripadeal and group tour and would consider again in the future 😊

Excellent Guide Willington Calderon

Willington Calderon was our guide, he picked us up from the Airport on 17th Sept 2026 to the Accommodation. He was our guide for our South America tour 17th Sept to 29th Sept. On 19th flew to Puerto Maldonado, Amazon Jungle, Cusco. All through our Guide WIllington was excellent, explained all details of the places that we visited. He is a learned person, sharing his views and been very friendly all the time. He was very helpful and available every time we needed. He has excellent command over English to explain and answered all our doubts. He was not just a guide to us, but a very good friend now. We missed him upon 12th day as we had to visit other nearby countries. I would highly recommend Willington as a guide to all other tourists in future..

Amazing Experience

Our 12 day adventure in Peru was part of a 31 day Trip A Deal Tour(Ultimate South America Adventure). We were lucky enough to have Ruben as our guide for the whole 12 days. Not only was he super organised and very knowledgeable, but his sense of humour was a good fit for the 19 Aussies and New Zealanders in our tour group, which made everything so much fun. Ruben cared about everyone in the group and went out of his way to help with any issues and problems and he also tried his best to accommodate any suggestions and requests along the way. Ruben's instructions were always clear and for the whole 12 days in Peru I felt completely safe and comfortable about timing and the itinerary. A brilliant experience and loved every minute. Thanks Ruben and Valencia.

Amazing adventure in Peru

We loved every moment of discovering aspects of Peru. We were in Peru for 12 days with our guide Uri. He showed us many different sides from the Amazon to Machu Picchu and Cusco. We loved learning many new things. We would thoroughly recommend a visit of at least 12 days to Peru. We booked through TripADeal.
