LUXURY COLOMBIA HOLIDAYS

ABOUT THE ITINERARY

Our Ultimate Colombia itinerary has been designed to showcase some of the best the country has to offer, taking in both the famous and lesser discovered parts of the country.

In just over two weeks you will explore the Andean capital of Bogotá, the charming colonial town of Barichara and the Caribbean coastal gem, Cartagena. You will uncover Colombia’s answer to Safari, staying in a luxury tented camp in the wetlands of Los Llanos and relax by the beautiful turquoise waters of the Caribbean sea on Isla Barú.

Our expert local guides are on hand to show you what makes Colombia so special. You’ll learn about its eventful history, as well as its renaissance in recent years. Visits to coffee plantations, rum distilleries, artist workshops and game drives in Los Llanos are all included too. Each night is spent at some of the most characterful and sort after accommodation in Colombia, including the house of a former Colombian president.

For those looking to see Colombia in style and avoid the traditional tourist path, there really is no better choice than our ‘Ultimate Colombia’ itinerary.

You’ll go in search of howler monkeys, giant anteaters and even jaguar, or take a canoe out on one of the lakes or even try piranha fishings.

Barichara | Colombia | Ultimate Travel Company
DAY 7 – 9

BARICHARA

After a final breakfast in Los Llanos, you will fly north to Bucaramanga, where you will be met and driven to charming historical town of Barichara.

Literally translated as ‘place of rest’, Barichara is a laidback town, famous for its colonial architecture, vibrant art scene and surrounding nature. It’s off the main tourist trail, giving guests a more authentic taste of Colombia.

Over the next two days you will visit a local organic coffee farm, in the hills surrounding the town and enjoy a personalised tour of the town by one of our expert local guides. For the more active, a biking tour to the Serranía de los Yariguíes is included, a beautiful route along the Suarez river and an opportunity to cool off in the Chirigua waterfall.

Whilst in Barichara you will be staying at the beautiful and exclusive Casa del Presidente. A historic house in the centre of the town, filled with colourful Colombian artwork and once home to former president, Belisario Betancur.

Cartagena | Cartagena | Ultimate Travel Company
DAY 10 – 11

CARTAGENA

You will be driven back to Bucaramanga airport for a direct flight to one of South America’s most famous destinations, the pearl of the Caribbean, Cartagena.

Cartagena des Indias was founded in the 16th Century and it’s old-town has been beautifully preserved, home to cobbled streets, bustling plazas and colourful colonial buildings.

Your hotel is in the heart of the walled city, just a stones throw from a variety of restaurants, bars and artisan shops. The tropical climate can sometimes be unbearable during the day, but the refreshing pool at Casa San Agustin is the perfect place to cool off.

Over the next three days you will discover the vibrant Getsemani neighbourhood, home to vibrant street art and one of the best preserved parts of the city. You will also taste one of Colombia’s most famous exports, rum. A tour of a local distillery and a tasting is the perfect way to fight off the heat. You will visit a number of galleries and artisan shops, which are the perfect place to pick-up any last minute souvenirs before you fly home.

“A TRIP OF A LIFETIME, PERFECTLY PLANNED”
Dear Claire, our trip was 100% amazing. We fell in love with Chile. I love how we were introduced to all of the different parts of the country. Our family was engaged in all of the fun from beginning to end. The lodges were just perfection. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. I really appreciate all you did to make our trip a trip of a lifetime.

“SERVICE THAT GOES THE EXTRA MILE”

The service we received from 91ºÚÁÏÍø was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”
This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.
