Over the previous few years, Colombia has change into fairly a stylish vacation spot for a lot of. Whereas Cartagena has lengthy been a cruise ship port of name, the remainder of the nation had lengthy been solely on the trail of extra adventurous vacationers. For those who\u2019re contemplating reserving a flight, right here\u2019s a first-timer\u2019s itinerary for 10 days in Colombia (not counting flying days).<\/p>\n
Like many different nations in South America, Colombia is extremely numerous, and there\u2019s no approach you\u2019ll get to discover all its fascinating points in a single brief journey.<\/p>\n
This Colombia itinerary is only a style of the nation by the use of three main cities: Bogota within the Andes, Medellin within the Aburra Valley, and Cartagena on its Caribbean coast.<\/p>\n
That is most likely both a query in your thoughts or a query others will ask you if you say you\u2019re going to Colombia, so let\u2019s simply get it out of the best way first.<\/p>\n
Security in Colombia is relative and depending on the place within the nation you might be. There are definitely nonetheless locations within the nation the place you shouldn\u2019t go, notably in border and frontier areas, however a lot of the bigger cities are comparatively secure lately.<\/p>\n
Right here\u2019s my analysis based mostly on private expertise:<\/p>\n
In different phrases, train regular touring warning.<\/p>\n
Control your environment and your belongings, know earlier than you go, keep in well-lit areas that produce other individuals, and belief your intestine.<\/p>\n
Truthfully, the one motive I ever felt even a bit of uncomfortable whereas in Colombia was as a result of neither my associate nor I spoke greater than fundamental Duolingo Spanish. Had we been in a position to talk extra fluently, the journey most likely would\u2019ve been higher as a result of we’d have had fewer hiccups and been in a position to chat extra with the locals.<\/p>\n
A couple of fast tidbits that may make your go to go smoother:<\/p>\n
Language:<\/strong> There are English audio system in touristy areas, however in any other case it\u2019s fairly restricted, so equip your self with Google Translate or one other translation app and study some Spanish forward of time.<\/p>\n I had been in a position to perceive most interactions in Cuba with solely a bit of little bit of issue (and with out assistance from Google Translate since my cellphone didn\u2019t work there).<\/p>\n However the Spanish spoken in Colombia was a lot sooner. I used to be always asking individuals \u201cUno mas por favor, tu habla un poco rapido para mi.\u201d (I do know, I do know, that\u2019s not the precise development, however I had a tough time bear in mind \u201cuna vez mas.\u201d \u201cUno mas,\u201d then again, is all the time helpful for ordering one other spherical.)<\/p>\n Climate:<\/strong> Colombia\u2019s geographical range means the climate might be extremely totally different from one place to the following. For this Colombia itinerary, you\u2019ll transfer from dry and chilly mountainous temperatures in Bogota to heat valley climate in Medellin to tropical humid warmth in Cartagena.<\/p>\n After we visited in late April and early Could,<\/p>\n In different phrases, pack diversely and appropriately. Try my packing listing for this journey \u2014 carry-on solely!<\/p>\n Bogs:<\/strong> Besides in tremendous good locations, you often have to put rest room paper within the trash can offered as a substitute of down the bathroom.<\/p>\n Be good to the plumbing.<\/p>\n Cash:<\/strong> Colombian payments are huge! Get to know your cash and the way they convert to your private home forex, and don\u2019t get bamboozled by others or your individual confusion. (Responsible!)<\/p>\n In 2019, $1 USD is equal to roughly $3,200 Colombian Pesos (COP). And sure, they use the greenback\/peso signal as their forex image.<\/p>\n The factor about medicine: <\/strong>It’s possible you’ll know a factor or two about Colombia\u2019s darkish historical past with cocaine and the notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar. Whereas Colombians don\u2019t deny this historical past, understand that Colombians had been the individuals who suffered essentially the most beneath Escobar\u2019s reign. Your finest wager is to keep away from ever saying his identify out loud, and whilst you\u2019re at it, skip the phrase \u201ccocaine\u201d as effectively.<\/p>\n Okay, let\u2019s get began with this itinerary 10 days in Colombia. Suggestions for the place to remain and methods to get round will probably be included beneath every metropolis.<\/p>\n And as a fast reminder, this itinerary assumes that you just\u2019ll have 10 days in Colombia plus two journey days bookending it.<\/p>\n Bogota is a large metropolis. Significantly, as inhabitants of a 7-miles-by-7-miles metropolis, Bogota felt intensely giant.<\/p>\n After your arrival yesterday, make sure that to take a while to soak up your environment and get acclimated. Not solely will you be in a brand new nation, you might also want to regulate to Bogota\u2019s elevation: a whopping 8,660 toes (just like many ski resorts).<\/p>\n Considered one of my favourite methods to get adjusted to a brand new metropolis is simply to stroll round, eat road meals, and get a way of how individuals work together with one another.<\/p>\n To get acquainted with the town, begin your first morning in Bogota with a free strolling tour with Past Colombia.<\/p>\n I\u2019m often not an enormous fan of enormous excursions, however I knew little or no about Colombia apart from its standing as a former Spanish colony. And in such conditions, I\u2019ve discovered that free strolling excursions might be an effective way to study in regards to the metropolis and see lots of its most important sights in a contextualized trend.<\/p>\n Our information Bryon, a historian by training, did a unbelievable job introducing us to the historical past of Colombia and Bogota, offered the cultural context behind the town\u2019s road artwork, and gave us a way of what else we might do throughout our time in Bogota.<\/p>\n Then it\u2019s time to expertise one thing 100% Colombian.<\/p>\n We wished to do one thing native that was off the vacationer path however very a lot in Bogota, and tejo offered us with that chance.<\/p>\n Try this put up about the nationwide sport of tejo. Trace: there\u2019s gunpowder and beer concerned!<\/p>\n Head out early in your second day in Bogota and hit the sacred hill that towers over Bogota. You\u2019ll see many locals climbing up and down Monserrate both as a pilgrimage to the church and shrine on the prime or just as train.<\/p>\n The non secular points weren\u2019t that attention-grabbing to us, however the hike was very nice and the views of the town had been gorgeous.<\/p>\n Simply make sure that to drink loads of water and take it sluggish. Bogota is already fairly excessive up, and the highest of Monserrate sits at 10,341 toes.<\/p>\n You may as well take the funicular or cable automobile up and down in the event you\u2019d want.<\/p>\n Yep, you learn that proper. Colombian sizzling chocolate has a shock ingredient you could have most likely by no means related to the drink: cheese. Candy and salty multi function.<\/p>\n Sounds bizarre, I do know, however except you\u2019re lactose illiberal or don\u2019t like chocolate, you simply have to present it a strive. Plus, it makes for a pleasant snack after your Monserrate hike.<\/p>\n When you\u2019ve cooled down, try the world\u2019s largest gold assortment.<\/p>\n Whereas all of the gold is sweet and glossy, the true treasure is within the assortment\u2019s preservation of the nation\u2019s pre-Columbian heritage.<\/p>\n For those who can, attempt to go on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 11 a.m. or 4 p.m. after they have guided excursions in English. I\u2019m advised these make it way more informative and simpler to soak up the museum\u2019s 55,000+ items of gold.<\/p>\n The knowledge is useful particularly as a result of the museum generally is a little repetitive and out of context in the event you don\u2019t know loads about Colombia\u2019s pre-Columbian heritage. The museum has exhibit halls for every of the nation\u2019s indigenous cultures, however the artifacts can look moderately comparable when you get to the fifth or sixth corridor in the event you\u2019re like me and unfamiliar with the variations.<\/p>\n For those who\u2019re unable to make it to these guided excursions, make sure that to a minimum of try the primary reveals, together with the well-known Muisca Raft, aka the El Dorado Raft.<\/p>\n The majority of Bogota\u2019s most important sights is in La Candelaria, one of many metropolis\u2019s 20 districts. It\u2019s not referred to as the most secure neighborhood, however it\u2019s definitely essentially the most handy if you wish to be near every part. Many hostel choices are additionally there, and if I had been touring solo, I most likely would have stayed in La Candelaria.<\/p>\n Close to it’s Chapinero, the hipster, fashionable, LGBTQ-friendly neighborhood that\u2019s widespread with ex-pats and vacationers.<\/p>\n You may as well keep in Teusaquillo like we did, however we\u2019d advocate you keep within the a part of Teusaquillo that\u2019s nearer to La Candelaria not like on the far finish like we did. It typically took 40-50 minutes to get into city heart the place every part was!<\/p>\n Actual speak: getting round Bogota generally is a little troublesome in the event you\u2019re not staying within the central neighborhoods and are a bit of poor in Spanish. (Additionally doesn\u2019t assist in the event you\u2019re wandering the town after a sleepless redeye.)<\/p>\n If you end up not staying in one of many aforementioned central locales the place you may simply stroll, you\u2019ll have the choice of :<\/p>\n Not like many current vacationers to Colombia, I didn’t affiliate Medellin with the drug commerce that ravaged the town and its residents for many years. I\u2019ve additionally by no means seen quite a lot of minutes of Narcos<\/em>, the Netflix-show that has moderately break up Colombians\u2019 opinions of its portrayals.<\/p>\n As an alternative, I knew Medellin as a well-liked South American spot for digital nomads, a spot of temperate climate and pleasant road artwork.<\/p>\n So for me, it made sense to begin our time in Medellin with a free strolling tour to study extra in regards to the metropolis\u2019s historical past. Be certain to guide your spot with Actual Metropolis Excursions forward of time; the reserving window opens 1.5 days earlier than your most well-liked tour time.<\/p>\n Probably the most fascinating issues I realized was about how the town has used social urbanism to rejuvenate the town. That’s, going into the beforehand extra harmful areas of the town and utilizing structure to create one thing good.<\/p>\n For instance, making a forest of Colombia bamboo and light-weight pillars in Plaza Cisneros, a spot that was once full of medication and prostitutes, or constructing huge stunning libraries in powerful neighborhoods that had no secure frequent areas.<\/p>\n An idea we might most likely apply in lots of cities all over the world!<\/p>\n Then try some Medellin establishments for lunch and a day drink to flee the warmth.<\/p>\n For a standard paisa lunch within the downtown space, strive Hato Viejo or Hacienda and get your fill of the well-known native dish of bandeja paisa. This heavy plate of meat, beans, and carbs will gas you up, so think about splitting a platter in the event you\u2019re not likely hungry.<\/p>\n For those who\u2019re adventurous, I\u2019d counsel attempting mondongo on the restaurant of the identical identify. This tripe, veggie, and corn soup is topped with rice, avocado, and even a banana. It\u2019s not everybody\u2019s bowl of taste, however I liked it.<\/p>\n In case your conventional lunch induces a meals coma and the strolling tour made your legs drained, spend a lazy afternoon at Salon Malaga, which has been a Medellin establishment for greater than half a century.<\/p>\n It’s old-school in essentially the most charming methods, a spot the place you’re feeling so comfy simply passing the afternoon away with beers and new pals. (Much less chill when rounds of aguardiente come round, however it is best to do that Colombian liquor nonetheless.)<\/p>\n I do know, I do know, you\u2019re asking your self why I’ve yet one more free strolling tour on this Colombia itinerary.<\/p>\n I received\u2019t lie, it surprises me, too. We most likely did extra strolling excursions in Colombia than I often do in a 12 months\u2019s price of travels. However you\u2019ll undoubtedly wish to be a part of a tour for Comuna 13.<\/p>\n Medellin was as soon as referred to as the world\u2019s most harmful metropolis, and Comuna 13 was its most harmful neighborhood.<\/p>\n At the moment, the neighborhood is slowly enhancing itself economically, and it’s no extra harmful than anyplace else within the metropolis. Actually, due to the additional policing, locals really feel it\u2019s really safer than different areas of the town.<\/p>\n What actually necessitates a tour information is the private tales they’ll supply.<\/p>\n For those who go together with Zippy Tour, your information will probably be somebody who grew up (and sometimes nonetheless lives) in Comuna 13. The non-public experiences they’ll share is one thing you\u2019ll by no means get just by visiting by yourself (possibly except you spoke fluent Spanish and spent sufficient time there to realize the belief of the residents).<\/p>\n It\u2019s tried and true: the expat neighborhood of El Poblado was really a unbelievable place to remain in Medellin. The neighborhood was very walkable, you could possibly simply get to different areas of the town by way of public transit, there are quite a lot of eating and nightlife choices, and general it was only a beautiful neighborhood.<\/p>\n We actually loved staying at 574 Lodge.<\/p>\n It\u2019s small boutique spot nestled in a quiet space of El Poblado but additionally near the metro and the primary thoroughfares of the neighborhood. Clear, quiet, and stylish at roughly $50 USD per evening for 2 individuals, breakfast included. Would extremely advocate!<\/p>\n In comparison with Bogota, Medellin is simple peasy in the case of public transit.<\/p>\n It\u2019s obtained the nation\u2019s solely metro system, and that\u2019s about all you want. Simply purchase a ticket\u2060\u2014or they’ll load up a number of rides on one shareable card for you\u2060\u2014and off you go. <\/em><\/p>\n Professional tip: For those who\u2019ve loaded a number of tickets onto one card, you\u2019ll have to drop the cardboard into the slot in your final trip as a way to enter the station (as a substitute of scanning the cardboard as you often would).<\/em><\/p>\n I feel this metro system can be the explanation why I felt Medellin was a lot simpler to navigate, actually and mentally, than Bogota.<\/p>\n Medellin additionally has a long-distance bus station that gives routes to many different components of the nation. Heading into it jogged my memory of all of the long-distance bus stations in Asia.<\/p>\n One of many best day journeys to take from Medellin is to the colourful city of Guatape. Right here\u2019s a information to visiting Guatape by yourself.<\/p>\n After an extended and energetic day journey to Guatape, take it straightforward in your final day in Medellin.<\/p>\n Discover the neighborhoods, try the road artwork, and think about visiting Casa de la Memoria, the part-museum, part-memorial to these misplaced in the course of the metropolis\u2019s most harmful years.<\/p>\n Then make your method to the coastal metropolis of Cartagena, aka Cartagena de Indias.<\/p>\n For a leisurely introduction to the town, hit up the Cartagena Outdated City wall for some beautiful Caribbean sunsets. Choose up a six-pack from the grocery retailer or purchase drinks from the numerous distributors there, and simply benefit from the Caribbean breeze.<\/p>\n A fast notice about Cartagena\u2019s climate: it’s sizzling, sizzling, sizzling. Oh, and humid, too.<\/p>\n I\u2019m speaking 89 levels Fahrenheit, appears like 105 \u2014 at 8 within the morning. So whilst you most likely wanted a minimum of a lightweight jacket for Bogota\u2019s foggy, mountainous chill, you\u2019ll be eager to put on as little as attainable by the point you get to Cartagena.<\/p>\n Begin your first full day on this port metropolis by exploring the great thing about Cartagena\u2019s Outdated City.<\/p>\n And possibly even get a bit of glam for the \u2018gram with Cartagena\u2019s fabulous doorways and facades.<\/p>\n Then get a bit of extra severe with the final strolling tour (I promise!) of the journey.<\/p>\n Not like Bogota and Medellin, Cartagena showcases a unique facet of Colombian historical past. A port metropolis bombarded by pirates, a hub of the Caribbean slave commerce, a metropolis that celebrates three totally different independence days.<\/p>\n Be part of Free Tour Cartagena, and also you\u2019ll get to study all about it.<\/p>\n Needing a break from the warmth and humidity? Get some relaxation and a reprieve from the blazing Caribbean solar by heading to the good bookstore on the town: Abaco Libros y Cafe.<\/p>\n This lovely brick-decorated bookshop is cool in so some ways. It\u2019s really easy to select up an excellent guide and luxuriate in it together with AC and a drink.<\/p>\n Espresso, booze, espresso and booze? As much as you.<\/p>\n After dinner, it\u2019s salsa time! Whereas Cali is called the salsa capital, Cartagena\u2019s not a nasty spot both.<\/p>\n We went to Donde Fidel on the advice of a neighborhood. The spot is a bit small, however it is filled with Colombians, native and from elsewhere within the nation, having fun with nice music, chilly beer, and (watching individuals) salsa.<\/p>\n It was horrendously loud and approach too brilliant, although. Excellent place for watching the professionals dance, not nice to attempt to choose up a number of strikes.<\/p>\n Two different really useful spots: Cafe Havana and Quiebra Canto. I hear these are higher for really hitting the dance ground.<\/p>\n Step outdoors of Cartagena\u2019s partitions on your second day there and discover the ever-so-cool, so-hipster-but-maybe-really-just-gentrifying neighborhood of Getsemani.<\/p>\n It\u2019s obtained Cartagena\u2019s finest road artwork, lovely alleys, and an excellent people-watching spot in Plaza de la Trinidad.<\/p>\n Plus, it\u2019s additionally the locale for a lot of of Cartagena\u2019s coolest hostels. Backpackers, onto Getsmani you go.<\/p>\n If in case you have curiosity in navy historical past or simply wish to see one thing a bit of totally different, think about testing Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas. It\u2019s the fort that helped defend Cartagena from the numerous pirates that attacked it over the centuries.<\/p>\n Tickets are $25,000 COP per particular person, a bit greater than it was price for my part. Then once more, Cartagena had a city-wide blackout the day we visited the fort, so maybe the cool respite we obtained within the fort\u2019s tunnels had been effectively price it.<\/p>\n Squirrels, iguanas, sloths! Yep, you may see all these within the coronary heart of Cartagena in Centennial Park.<\/p>\n It\u2019s the proper place to spend the nightfall hours after an extended sizzling day and earlier than your nighttime plans.<\/p>\n Moreover the hostels of Getsemani, Cartagena has tons of fantastic accommodations and hostels for all budgets.<\/p>\n I\u2019d counsel staying a minimum of a part of your time in Outdated City and the opposite half in Getsemani.<\/p>\n You stroll. Significantly, it\u2019s one of the best mode of transportation, particularly if you\u2019re in Cartagena Outdated City, Getsemani, and different surrounding areas.<\/p>\n If the warmth is a bit a lot for you for longer walks otherwise you want non-walking choices for an additional motive, taxis are additionally extremely reasonably priced in Cartagena.<\/p>\n There are additionally native buses, in fact. We walked all over the place so we didn\u2019t get an opportunity to take one, however they truthfully seemed like a hoot based mostly on what we noticed (and sure, I imply common buses, not the chiva get together buses.)<\/p>\n After which it\u2019s time for a getaway from the getaway. That’s, head out to the Caribbean islands off of Cartagena\u2019s coast.<\/p>\n You’ll be able to follow Isla Baru for the closest possibility, try one of many many Rosario Islands, and even fly out to the island of San Andres.<\/p>\n As a result of we solely had 10 full days in Colombia to slot in every part you\u2019ve learn, we caught to the closest possibility: Isla Baru and Playa Blanca.<\/p>\n As a result of Playa Blanca is the closest island possibility from Cartagena, it may be very crowded, particularly on weekends when locals additionally go to take pleasure in its magnificence.<\/p>\n The farther you stroll from the top of the seaside, the extra peaceable and fewer crowded will probably be. Sadly, it does additionally get a bit rockier as you get deeper into Playa Blanca.<\/p>\n Your finest wager? Go nearer to the crowds if you wish to be within the water, however keep someplace farther away, and calm down in a cabana someplace within the center. We loved the cabana, drinks, and meals at Hostel Restaurant Brenely.<\/p>\n Be certain to deliver extra cash than you suppose you want, although. There aren’t any ATMs on the island, and a lot of the institutions don’t settle for something besides money. These cabanas, tropical drinks, and seafood dishes add up approach sooner than you suppose.<\/p>\n Professional tip: Ought to you end up a bit low on money, go eat your meals at Los Corales. It\u2019s situated close to the beginning of the seaside and accepts bank cards for a 5% surcharge.<\/em><\/p>\n After which, simply take pleasure in (and possibly bear in mind to reapply your sunscreen as effectively) till it’s important to head again to Cartagena after which hasta luego to Colombia.<\/p>\n Waking as much as the ocean breeze blowing in. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves. Significantly one of the best components about staying in a single day in Playa Blanca! We particularly liked strolling up and hanging out on our seaside balcony.<\/p>\n The lodging on Playa Blanca really are fundamental, however there are nonetheless some nicer ones that embody breakfast, bucket showers, and indoor bogs within the worth. Our personal room at Nuestra Cabanita was on the decrease finish at $110,000 COP (~$34 USD).<\/p>\n If Playa Blanca\u2019s choices are too fundamental for you, think about staying elsewhere on Isla Baru the place there are extra resorts. I\u2019ve heard unbelievable issues about Lodge Playa Manglares Isla Baru.<\/p>\n Methods to get round Playa Blanca could be a foolish part to incorporate, however I\u2019m certain you\u2019ll wish to know methods to get there.<\/p>\n There are tons of tour companies in Cartagena providing transit to Playa Blanca (your lodging most likely will as effectively). However in the event you\u2019re seeking to DIY it, Hostel Mamallena in Getsmani has principally corned the market on public transit. For $50,000 COP per particular person, you get round-trip tickets on an AC-equipped, direct shuttle to and from Playa Blanca.<\/p>\n If in case you have 4 individuals, it’s also possible to think about taking a taxi or speedboat there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Over the previous few years, Colombia has change into fairly a stylish vacation spot for a lot of.
