One demanding day: the Cocora Valley loop is about 12 km with roughly 600 m of climbing on muddy, uneven trail up to about 2,860 m, or take the easy two-hour walk to the wax palms instead. El Peñol is about 700 steps, which you can skip. Bogotá is at about 2,640 m. Other days are 2 to 4 hours on foot on city streets, cobbles and hills.

Arrive in Bogotá

El Dorado International Airport (BOG) to your hotel in central Bogotá

  • Welcome dinner
  • Nuit : Bogotá
  • Environ 45 min de route

Fly into El Dorado International Airport (BOG), about 15 km west of the historic centre. A driver meets you in the arrivals hall for the drive in, which takes 40 minutes to an hour depending on traffic. Bogotá sits at about 2,640 m on a high plateau in the Eastern Andes, so it is cooler than most visitors expect: days are mild, evenings need a jacket, and the first flight of stairs leaves you short of breath.

Soir

Take the afternoon slowly, drink plenty of water and go easy on alcohol tonight. Your hotel is central, within walking distance of La Candelaria, the colonial quarter of steep cobbled streets, painted houses and student cafes. At about 6 pm your See Sight Tours guide meets the group for a briefing on the days ahead: the two flights, the Cocora walk and what to pack for the Caribbean. Then we walk to a welcome dinner nearby, a first taste of Colombian cooking, from arepas to a slow-cooked stew.

Questions

Les prix indiqués dans ces réponses s'appliquent à compter du 1er janv. 2027. Offre du Vendredi fou : 7 % de rabais sur le prix en petit groupe pour les demandes reçues au plus tard le 1er déc. 2026. À partir de CAD 3,835 par personne. Du 2 déc. au 31 déc. : à partir de CAD 3,960. À compter du 1er janv. 2027 : à partir de CAD 4,125.

What does the price include?

Nine nights in central hotels, both domestic flights with a checked bag, 9 breakfasts, 6 lunches and 2 dinners, airport transfers, our own vehicle and driver, Willys jeeps to Cocora, a See Sight Tours guide throughout, local guides, and every entry in the day plan, including Monserrate, the Gold Museum, Comuna 13, El Peñol, the Guatapé boat, the coffee farm and Castillo San Felipe.

How big is the group?

The small-group trip runs with 7 to 12 guests. Several Colombia trips take up to 15 or 16, so with us everyone hears the guide in Comuna 13 and the walled city, and the group fits around one table at lunch.

Who leads the trip?

A See Sight Tours guide travels with you from the Bogotá briefing to the Cartagena airport. Local guides join in Comuna 13, at the coffee farm and in Cartagena's walled city, where people who live there tell the story best.

How fit do I need to be?

Moderately fit. The full Cocora Valley loop is about 12 km with roughly 600 m of climbing on muddy trail, and El Peñol is about 700 steps. Both have easy options: a two-hour walk to the wax palms and back, or waiting at the foot of the rock. Bogotá's altitude makes stairs harder for the first day or two.

Is Colombia safe to travel?

Our route stays in the main visitor areas, and a guide is with the group every day. The usual risks are petty theft and phone snatching in the cities, plus drink spiking and dating-app robberies that government advisories warn about. We book taxis after dark and brief you on day 1. Read your own government's travel advice before booking.

I am travelling solo. What is the single supplement?

A room of your own costs from CAD 700 more, shown before you request to book, with no surprises later. You join the group on the same terms as everyone else, at the same tables and on the same activities. If you would rather share a room, ask us: whether we can pair you with another solo traveller is confirmed at booking.

Can we travel privately or on our own dates?

Yes. Besides the small group, the trip comes as a private trip for your party only, on a date you choose, from CAD 7,425 per person. If you would rather travel independently on your own dates, ask us from the dates section and we will quote the same hotels, flights and local guides.

How does booking work?

Pick a start date and request to book. We confirm your place within 24 hours, and no payment is taken until then. The small group starts from CAD 4,125 per person sharing a room, with taxes included; prices are indicative until we confirm your dates.

When is the best time to go?

December to March and June to August are the driest months in the Andes, and Cartagena is driest from December to April. The trip runs all year: in April to May and October to November expect afternoon rain and a muddier Cocora trail, and in Cartagena the heavier rains of September to November.

Do I need a visa for Colombia?

Canadian, US, UK and most EU passport holders do not need a visa for a tourist stay of up to 90 days. Visitors are asked to complete Colombia's online Check-MIG form before flying in. Check the current rules and any fees for your passport; we confirm what applies when you book.

Will the altitude in Bogotá affect me?

Bogotá is at about 2,640 m and Monserrate about 3,150 m, so most people feel short of breath on stairs for a day or two. We start there on purpose and walk slowly, then go down to Medellín at about 1,500 m. Speak to your doctor if you have heart or lung conditions.

Why is there one long drive?

Medellín to Salento is about 260 km and six hours on mountain roads. Flying would mean two airport runs and usually a change of plane, which takes longer. We break the drive with a coffee stop and a sit-down lunch, and it is the only day over our usual four-hour limit.
