You’ll spend two nights relaxing at your beautiful hacienda which overlooks the Vieja River, learing all about the coffee industry and exploring the remarkable Cocora Valley famous for its enormous wax palm trees.

It’s then on to Cartagena, Colombia’s coastal gem. With its colourful houses and the warm Caribbean breeze that carries on it the sounds of salsa, this is far and away the country’s most romantic city. Wander its winding streets, enjoy rum tasting and salsa lessons, and take a private yacht out to discover the aquamarine waters of the Rosario Islands.

Your final stop is Tayrona National Park. This is the place to relax, unwind and enjoy the beautiful beaches, tranquil rivers and diverse wildlife.
