Find out why Colombia may be the next hot adventure travel destination!

If you’re a true adventurer who likes to travel to places before they take off in full tourist mode, a Colombia adventure tour is calling you. After decades of civil conflict, the country is now safe to visit, and you’ll find its people warm and welcoming.

Begin your Colombia adventure tour in Bogotá, and your inner Indiana Jones will thrill at discovering the largest collection of pre-Colombian gold in the world housed at the Gold Museum. Here, in addition to thirty-four thousand gold pieces, the legacies of thirteen pre-Hispanic, mysterious cultures and societies are on display. If another type of gold is more to your “taste,” you’ll relish the black gold of Colombia’s fine coffee in Armenia. The green, gorgeous valleys of Zona Cafetera (coffee region) are watched over by picturesque, saw-toothed Andean peaks. Armenia’s Valle del Cocora National Park is another palate-pleaser: the park is home to the country’s largest collection of wax palms (palmas de cera), the national tree of Colombia. Living for more than one hundred years and growing nearly two hundred feet high, the towering, skinny trees have odd-looking puffs of leaves at their tops. The mere sight of them has been known to cause silence in those who gaze upon them. Before your travels to Colombia end, fly to the Caribbean seaport of Cartagena, where an old, walled city, a naval museum, and a castle await your explorations. Then, adventurer that you are, board a boat in Cartagena Harbor and sail into the sunset.
