Ready for 9 days of straight-up Colombian magic?

This TruTravels Colombia tour is packed with everything that makes Colombia 10/10—iconic cities, vibrant street art, insane landscapes, volcano hot springs, coffee straight from the source, and unreal Caribbean beaches.

We kick things off in Medellín. Think street art, local vibes, and Comuna 13’s unreal energy. Then we’re climbing to insane views at El Peñol Rock and sipping on freshly brewed coffee at local farms (don’t worry, there’ll be plenty of taste testing). Next up? Nature mode: hot springs, waterfalls, and hiking through the palm trees of Cocora Valley. We get our game faces on in Salento for a go at Tejo (yep, the one with gunpowder), before flying to the colourful colonial streets of Cartagena. Finish it all off with a day chilling in an Isla Grande beach club. Crystal-clear waters. Top tier vibes. The perfect way to round up the trip of dreams.

Good morning! We’re throwing ourselves straight into Colombian culture today as we head out to explore Medellín! This city has transformed dramatically over recent years, and it is now one of the most popular cities to visit in South America! First stop - Comuna 13, once known for being one of the most dangerous communities in the world, it has now been completely transformed with famous street art and 10/10 vibes. We'll stop by some of the world-famous murals and, of course, get some photos. After an amazing first day, it’s time to grab dinner and drinks! Today has been a busy day, so it would be rude to end our time here without a beer or two...
