First trip to Colombia: decisions to make before booking

Season, pace, transport and budget: the choices that genuinely shape a trip.

First trip to Colombia: decisions to make before booking

Colombia is best discovered without trying to see everything. Distances, mountains and different climates demand a realistic itinerary.

Choose two or three regions

For two weeks, combine a major city, a mountain region and a Caribbean stop. Keep some margin between domestic flights.

Build the budget

Plan separately for domestic flights, possible private transfers, park entry fees and a reserve for last-minute changes.

Travel with good habits

Ask locally which neighbourhoods and routes are suitable, avoid displaying your phone or cash and keep a separate copy of your documents.
