Day 1. Bogota: This awesome trip through Colombian highlights starts in Bogota, a transfer will pick you up at the airport and take you to the hotel where you will meet the rest of the group. This night we will have a typical Colombian dish, hot chocolate with cheese, yes, we eat that in Colombia and is super yummy!!

Day 2. Bogota: Saturday is the best day to be in Bogota! It starts with a bike tour to check out the amazing street art/graffiti that the city has which is definitely one of Colombia’s Highlights. After a typical Colombian lunch, a transfer picks us up and takes us to “Bogota Beer Company” in a modern top neighbourhood, perfect to warm up the night, after a few drinks we go back to the hotel to get ready for the best party club / restaurant you have ever seen called Andres Carne de Res where you will start to learn salsa dancing!

Day 5. Medellin: Before taking our five hour private van to Medellin, we go on a coffee tour to learn all about this daily beverage that not only is delicious, but also so important for the Colombian economy. On arrival in Medellin, we check out the most famous neighbourhoods of the city full of restaurants and bars.

Day 6. Medellin: Today we go on a city tour where we will learn about how this city used to be listed as one of the most dangerous places in the world! Nowadays it is the most inspiring city in Colombia, where people from all over the world are coming to stay!
