Head into the serene highlands of Colombia's famed coffee region and learn how to roast the perfect blend during a tour of a working coffee plantation. Discover the laidback pace of Salento, explore the nightlife of Medellin, then trade the country's lush interior for its coast. Explore the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Cartagena and Santa Marta, then hike to the ancient archaeological site of Teyuna, or the Lost City. Within the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountains, this site can only be reached by a guided multi-day trek. Meet local Indigenous leaders, sleep in mountain campsites away from the hustle and bustle of modern life and spend four days in the mountains, hiking through rainforest and jungle to this sacred Colombian site.
