Medellin – Colombia – Where to Stay, See, Eat + Drink

Watch our video itineraries as we explore the once dangerous city of Colombia for three days.   We show you where to stay, see, eat and drink in Medellin – one of the most transformed cities in the world. It's a short flight from Bogota and our favourite Colombian cities. We loved Comuna 13 that is now colorful and innovation brings the poor population to work in the valley.

Salento – Weekend Escape from Bogota – Colombia

Watch our video itineraries as we explore this coffee triangle town in Colombia for one week.   We show you where to stay, see, eat and drink in Salento – home to the amazing Cocora Valley. Fly from Bogota to Pereira and take the bus to Salento. We loved the day long hike through Colombian countryside and river valley to the heights and sights of the famous wax palms.

Santa Marta – Weekend Escape from Cartagena – Colombia

Watch our video itineraries as we explore this coastal town in Colombia for five days.   We show you where to stay, see, eat and drink in Santa Marta – the oldest city in Colombia. Take the bus from Cartagena to experience life outside this big city. We loved the historical part of town with restaurants spilling into alley ways with entertainment at your table.

Jardin – Weekend Escape from Medellin – Colombia

Watch our video itineraries as we explore another small town in the coffee triangle for one week.   We show you where to stay, see, eat and drink in Jardin – one of the favourite destinations in the world. We loved the square that our hotel balcony overlooked, with local cowboys venturing in to visit each weekend evening. It's located a few hours south of Medellin, Colombia and well worth the weekend excursion.

Filandia – Weekend Escape from Bogota – Colombia

Watch our video itineraries as we explore this small town in the coffee triangle of Colombia for two days.   We show you where to stay, see, eat and drink in Filandia – with one of the best restaurants in the world.

Take a short flight from Bogota to Pereira and then a bus to Filandia. You won't regret it.
