Just over 800 kilometres northwest of Colombia’s Caribbean coast and only 150 kilometres east of Nicaragua lies a series of idyllic islets and cays with beaches, coral reefs and perfect, clear waters.
San Andres and Providencia, declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 2000, offer world-class diving, with pristine reefs and 30 metres of visibility.
You can hike in the green mountains or cycle the coastal paths of either island. Or, of course, simply unwind on one of the many stunning beaches. Both islands can get busy in holiday season and access can be difficult.
This journey through Colombia takes in a host of the nation’s highlights, from the grand colonial churches and street art of Bogota to the UNESCO World Heritage city and coffee-growing regions of Cartagena.
With just a sprinkling of internal flights and some indulgent nights spent aboard a privately chartered yacht exploring the turquoise waters of the Rosario Islands, this is a beyond the ordinary way to experience the “gateway to South America“.
This Colombian adventure unveils some of the nation’s most offbeat locations, while still taking time to privately tour the galleries and architectural highlights of the cosmopolitan capital.
An extraordinary trip for intrepid visitors to “the gateway to South America”, it traverses both the Amazon Rainforest and the Guajira Peninsula.
