Highlights

Explore Rio Claro – a nature reserve known for its clear rivers, tropical rainforest terrain and waterfalls. Swim in the river, hike along the Ecological Trail and maybe zigzag downstream along the canyon walls on a zipline.

Play a game of Tejo with the locals in a Tejo Hall – Colombia's national sport and a popular pastime in Bogota (think bocce with gunpowder).

Climb over 700 stairs for panoramic views to the top of El Penol – a 200 m tall granitic rock, that used to be worshipped by the indigenous Tahami peoples.

Visit Honda – once a river port, the town is now known as the ‘City of Bridges’ due to its location on the Magdalena River. With over 40 bridges connecting different parts of town, learn why the structures are such a key part of the town’s history.

Spend plenty of free time in Medellin – maybe wander through the Botanical Garden, visit the Museo de Antioquia or explore the street art in Comuna 13.

Itinerary

This seven-day adventure from Bogota to Medellin is perfect for those seeking the natural beauty of Colombia, with planned activities and plenty of time to wander at your own pace.
