Discover Colombia
What time of year is best for travel?
To fully enjoy Colombia, the best time to travel is during its dry season, which runs from December to March in most of the country. You can find temperatures between 14°C and 30°C depending on the region. This period also coincides with exciting festivals such as the Barranquilla Carnival and the Manizales Fair, where the local culture shines.
If you are heading to Cartagena or the Caribbean coast, remember that May to November is the rainy season. As for prices, December and January are the most expensive months for hotels and flights due to tourist demand. Therefore, if you want to save money, try to plan your trip during the low season, which is usually between April and June, and September and October.
How far in advance should you make your reservations?
To get good prices and availability in hotels in Colombia, it is advisable to book at least 3 months in advance, especially if you plan to travel during the high season from December to March. During this period, prices can skyrocket and availability in the best hotels decreases rapidly.
If you choose to travel during the low season, there are more opportunities to find cheaper rates. A good tip is to consider flights with layovers in cities like Bogotá or Medellín, even if your final destination is elsewhere; they are often cheaper. Also, remember the country's big holidays and events, as prices tend to rise during these times.
What should you see during your trip?
Colombia is a jewel of Latin America that offers everything: vibrant cities, spectacular beaches, and a wealth of natural landscapes. In Bogotá, it is essential to visit La Candelaria, a neighborhood full of art and culture. If you prefer nightlife, Medellín, especially El Poblado, is your destination. For nature lovers, Tayrona National Natural Park is a must-visit, with its golden sandy beaches and tropical jungles.
If you want something less touristy, discover the Tatacoa Desert, a geological wonder that seems like another world. Or explore Salento, famous for its coffee and the Cocora Valley, where you can see the tallest wax palms in the world. Colombia also offers adventures, such as paragliding in San Gil or diving in San Andrés. This country has it all for every taste.
