Cartagena Tours in January 2026

My trip was amazing! I loved every day and was totally consumed by the Colombian culture! The itinerary is really varied so you experience so many different landscapes and activities. For most of the trip (the first 2/3) we hardly saw any other tourist groups in particular when visiting all the Archaeological Parks. We were often the only group there so it felt really special. Our guide and subsequent local guides to the areas we visited were all really interesting and it was a joy interacting with the locals and practicing speaking Spanish .

This tour was amazing and exceeded my expectations. I believe I will return to Colombia as I liked it so much as a result of this tour. The itinerary was just right, our guide was outstanding, and it was just perfect! Thank you G Adventures and National Geographic for an incredible adventure.

Andres Christian’s was an excellent tour leader. You can tell that you truly loves Colombia and enjoys sharing that with everyone. Some accommodations were better than others. Hotel in Medellin was fabulous but the hotel in Palomino did not offer hot water. This was unfortunately as we stayed there 2 evenings total. It would be great if Explore offered different hotel packages.

This trip was incredible, maybe life changing? I honestly didn?t know what to expect, I knew a trek in the jungle would be hard but I had no idea how hard. That said, I?m so proud of accomplishing the Lost City trek and felt like I did it with an awesome group of people who made the experience that much better! The trek was the absolute highlight (despite the challenge) but being able to see more of Colombia with a local guide was also so fun. I knew so little about Colombia going in, but left with a true appreciation for the country and its culture and I hope to be back one day!

I had such an incredible time on this trip with my family. Going on this trip with G Adventures ensured that we didn't have to worry about logistics and could truly just take the time to connect with each other and enjoy the beautiful country of Colombia.

We traveled as a family of four, and this was our first ever tour with any operator, so we were not sure what to expect from a G Adventures experience. I have to say, the trip exceeded our expectations in so many ways, from the accommodations to the itinerary to the CEO Luis Fernando Caceres. I especially liked how he united the group and kept things interesting with his first-hand knowledge of Colombia.
