Days 1–3

Begin in Bogotá

Bogotá is the perfect place to kick off your honeymoon, a city that tells Colombia’s history like no other.

Packed with beautiful architecture, charming districts, and museums showcasing ancient to modern treasures, the city is the perfect introduction to this captivating South American destination.

Passing government buildings, the Plaza Bolivar, and the city’s impactful street art, gain an insight into Colombia’s past and its recent political and economic revival as told through the stories of the colourful murals.

Days 3–5

Into Colombia's coffee heartland, the Coffee Triangle

From Bogotá, a short flight takes you to Colombia’s Coffee Triangle, an area characterised by rolling green hills and quaint towns dotted with traditional houses.

You can spend your time learning about the local culture here and the country’s coffee industry. You can also head into the remarkable Cocora Valley, famous for its enormous wax palm trees and lush cloud forests.

Colombian coffee from seed to cup

Visit a family-run coffee farm, where its local owners will open the doors to their authentic hacienda. Walk along the property as a member of the family explains the intricate process of harvesting and producing premium-quality coffee. As you stroll, enjoy the lush landscapes, exotic flowers and diverse birdlife that inhabit this area.

After visiting the fields, enjoy an authentic lunch with the farm’s owners. Then, experience a tasting session to learn about each coffee’s aroma and fragrance, how to differentiate coffee qualities, and how to prepare a perfectly balanced cup of coffee.

Explore Cocora Valley

Just 15 minutes past the town of Salento lies Valle del Cocora, home to soaring wax palm trees, considered a protected species. This type of palm grows only in this particular region and has been recognised as the official tree of Colombia.

Take a leisurely walk up the valley to be greeted by panoramic views, or simply relax below while admiring the breathtaking emerald landscape.

Days 5–8

Three nights in Cartagena

Next, you’ll visit Cartagena, Colombia’s coastal gem. With its colourful houses and the warm Caribbean breeze that carries along the rhythmic sounds of salsa, this is 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 Islas del Rosario.

Your final stop on your Colombian honeymoon is within the Tayrona Region, one of the prettiest stretches of coastline in South America, where tropical rainforests meet golden sandy beaches and the blue waters of the Caribbean.

You’ll enjoy a stay in Tayrona National Park, offering the perfect combination of relaxation and exploration in an area home to more than 100 mammal species, some 200 species of birds and many different types of reptiles.

You’ll be able to fully unwind here: go scuba diving or snorkelling, discover the park’s incredible nature or simply soak up the picturesque views.
