Colombia is a country renowned for its beauty, mystery, tropical warmth, and abundant resources.
The natural wealth within its borders isn't there by chance; it is Colombia's rugged, varied, and unique geography that makes it one of the most diverse countries in the world.
This geography has fostered a rich biological evolution, resulting in numerous species with limited ranges found across Colombia's five main geographical regions: the Andean, Pacific, Caribbean, Llanos (plains), and Amazon.
The distinct characteristics of each territory have shaped the cultural and natural heritage of Colombia's regions, ensuring that every visit to the country offers a completely unique experience.
Your journey in Colombia will begin in the Cundiboyacense Plateau, situated in the middle of the eastern mountain range. This area, once home to the ancient Muisca civilization—the largest indigenous pre-Columbian tribe—is now the location of the capital city, Bogotá, and the departments of Boyacá and Cundinamarca.
Surrounded by mountains to the east and lowlands to the west, this region boasts a remarkable variety of ecosystems, with the "paramo" standing out as one of the country's most significant.
During this tour, you will visit the beautiful coffee region, starting in the mountains and forests of Salento and the Valle del Cocora, adorned by the national tree, the wax palm.
The tour concludes in the Caldas department, where the mountains are blanketed with coffee plantations.
You will stay in picturesque farms and traditional haciendas of the region, transporting you to the past and offering one of the most beautiful and comprehensive experiences of the coffee region.
This trip is a wonderful introduction to Colombia. You will be captivated by its cultural and natural diversity, as well as the warmth of its people, and it will undoubtedly leave you wanting to return.
