A Colombia round trip allows you to experience everything South America has to offer, all within a single country. From the majestic peaks of the Andes to the lush rainforests of the Amazon, from untouched Caribbean beaches to vibrant, multicultural and colonial cities such as Bogotá, Medellín and Cartagena. Colombia is a country of remarkable contrasts, offering endless opportunities for adventure, discovery, relaxation and enjoyment, all within a small and friendly group.
You will also explore Colombia’s renowned coffee region, where you can taste some of the finest coffee in the world. And for lovers of gemstones, Colombia is a treasure in itself – it is one of the world’s most important exporters of shimmering emeralds!
Colombia is a country rich in history and natural treasures. Long before colonial times, Indigenous civilisations flourished here, and their legacy is still visible today. You can hike to the legendary Ciudad Perdida (the Lost City) or admire the more than 5,000-year-old statues of San Agustín. Equally unforgettable is Tayrona National Park, where dense jungle meets turquoise sea – an ideal setting for a scenic walk or a peaceful moment in one of its hidden bays.

Long before the Spanish arrived, Colombia was home to numerous ancient civilisations.
The remarkable Ciudad Perdida, built between the 11th and 14th centuries, is one of the oldest cities in South America – even older than Machu Picchu.
In San Agustín, you can admire more than 500 impressive life-sized stone sculptures. Some are more than 5,000 years old, yet their exact origins and meaning remain a mystery to this day.

Colombia offers some of the most thrilling outdoor adventures for those who love a dose of adrenaline.
From white-water rafting to jungle and mountain hikes, and from snorkelling to diving at world-famous coral reefs, there is no shortage of unforgettable experiences.
A particular highlight: off the Pacific coast, you can even observe whales in their natural habitat.

South America is a place full of surprises, emotions, nature, and incredibly kind people. We were able to experience all of this and we owe it to our tour leader Charlotta that this trip became such a special experience. The programme was full, but you do not fly to South America to relax, you go to experience something, and Viventura achieved that with the programme they offered and gave us wonderful variety. We would do it again anytime, and again with our Charlotta. (Barbara K. - Sept. '25)

The Caribbean Coast offers palm-lined beaches, turquoise water and pristine natural surroundings. Tayrona National Park, with its lush rainforest and secluded bays, is a true treasure. It is also the starting point for discovering the mythical Ciudad Perdida, hidden deep in the Sierra Nevada, or for experiencing the cultural richness of cities such as Cartagena, whose historic centre is recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Hike in the Cocora Valley: Explore the famous Cocora Valley with its towering wax palms, the proud national symbols of Colombia. The breathtaking scenery makes this walk a must for any nature lover.

Sunrise in the Tatacoa Desert: Experience an unforgettable sunrise in the Tatacoa Desert, when the first light fills the sky with warm colours and the unusual rock formations begin to glow. The stillness of the desert combined with the colours of dawn makes it feel almost otherworldly.
Excursion to San Agustín: Step into the mysteries of an ancient civilisation. The San Agustín archaeological park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, impresses with its enigmatic stone sculptures and remarkable pre-Columbian relics.
Ascent to Monserrate in Bogotá: Ride the cable car or follow the walking trail up to Monserrate and enjoy spectacular views across Colombia’s capital. A highlight not to be missed during your time in Bogotá.
Colombia lies close to the Equator and therefore has a tropical climate. Instead of distinct seasons as in Europe, the weather is shaped largely by altitude.
Here is an overview of the main climate periods:
Dry Season (December–March, July–August):
This is considered the best time to visit Colombia. Temperatures are pleasant, and the weather in many regions – such as Bogotá, Medellín and the Caribbean coast – is generally dry.
Rainy Season (April–June, September–November):
During these months, rainfall is more frequent, especially in tropical areas. However, showers tend to be brief and fall in the afternoon, meaning there is still plenty of time for outdoor activities.
In our experience, the months from December to March, as well as July and August, are ideal for travelling in Colombia. During this period, most regions enjoy pleasant, dry weather – perfect for making the very most of your journey.
