Malcolm | Traveled in February
A great trip in a fascinating country ! Colombia’s “darker reputation” is decades old. Yes, there are still problems today but they are working on it. As a visitor, I was fascinated by the history, the smiles and the wealth of bright, tropical colours ! The trip is well paced with time out in the itinerary (should you want it). We were also lucky enough to have a fantastic tour leader. His experience, his boundless energy and his attention to detail ensured smooth running at all times. As I said - fantastic !
