Colombia

Fast recovering from a severe image problem, Colombia is once more one of South America’s most vibrant countries. After falling head over heels in love with the country on a recent research trip, we at Original Travel predict this will be one of the stellar destinations of the next few years.

Our Latin America team can arrange completely personalised trips to take in the country’s scenic highlights including its Caribbean coastline, historic towns, coffee plantations and soaring Andean ranges. In the space of a week or two, a varied trip could take in one of several attractive boutique hotels in colonial Cartagena, Caribbean island life and the pristine Tayrona National Park. Colombia is a shining example of a country that through sheer force of collective will has undergone a complete makeover, and this is summed up by its their saying “the only risk is wanting to stay”.
