My husband and I did the shorter (out and back; 6km/2hrs return) hike with our two boys, aged 7 and 5. Wow - amazing views of towering wax palms and lush mountain scenery. Just like the Truffala Trees in the Dr Seuss book ‘The Lorax’! Views in the morning were magical, but the weather definitely started closing in with clouds rolling over from around 10:30/11. This was an easy hike to do with children. We took the shared Willy/Jeep from the main square in Salento at 8:30 (they leave hourly on the half hour) and returned on the 11:30 transport. I would’ve loved to have done the larger circuit, but 12km/5-6hrs was probably a bit of a stretch for a 5 year old, unfortunately! It wasn’t particularly crowded and the trail was very easy to walk on - no rain on the morning we went, and regular sports shoes were fine as there really wasn’t a lot of mud at all. Perhaps we got lucky, as it does get quite wet at this time of year!

This tour is a must if you visit Medellin, given that is at a 1hr distance and is a different type of town with an incredible view when you go to the top of the rock (650 steps approximately). I’ve never seen anything like this and with no doubts I’ll go back if I visit Colonia again.

Knowing the snow-capped Santa Isabel is an excellent experience to learn and enjoy the Colombian high mountains. Meet exuberant landscapes, experience new sensations at more than 4,500 meters above sea level, recreate in natural environments, Live with Cattleya Ecotourism.
The hike to Nevado Santa Isabel is not long but it can be difficult for some people due to high elevation. The views are amazing. But be sure to bring warm clothes and drink a lot of water during the hike. The weather in this area can change rapidly. When I was hiking the weather went from warm and sunny to cold, cloudy, and rainy

Experiential coffee tour in our plantation like our grandparents did process the coffee . You can use hat, poncho and basket to picking the beans. The process is from the seed to palate. Schedules :9.00 am and 2:00 pm
Stayed at the finca and took the fascinating tour around the plantation with our 2 children aged 5 and 7. Even the children loved the whole experience picking coffee beans along the way. Very impressed with the knowledge of the guide and his passion for the Colombian coffee culture. The owners have done a wonderful job creating the route adding miradors for amazing views of the landscape along the way. There is also a fascinating selection of Colombian biodiversity to experience with frogs, citrus trees, papaya and banana trees and beautiful flowers all on display and explained as part of the tour. Would recommend highly as an essential part of the Colombian travel experience.

Pictures can’t do this unique valley justice. You have to experience it. We did the 12 km loop counter clockwise (steep part first) and were treated to a cool river trail that crosses the river several times over wooden suspension bridges (one person at a time please ????) then a pretty good climb but very doable. Then once at the top you begin to enjoy the easy path down with many photo opportunities. Think Jurassic park and Dr Suess... Highly recommended!

Beautiful completely carved in Salt Cathedral is unique in its kind and presents visitors a majesty unparalleled. 180 meters underground lies a place away from everyday life invites reflection, self-discovery and inner encounter with the spiritual part.
I'm not a very religious person, however art and history has always interested me, so this place was an unexpected treat! Id advise anyone who hasn't been here before to visit. It's less that 2hrs away from Bogota, and the bus ride there is cheap (TM to Portal Norte and then s bus to Zipa until the centro). Entrance to the mines is a bit pricey, cheaper if you show residency (lucky me) , but worth it. Packages are available, and there are restaurants and gift shops

The Banco de la República Gold Museum houses one of the most important collections of pre-Hispanic metallurgy in the world. As its history, which dates back to 1939, has unfolded, so this institution has become a symbol of Colombia's cultural memory. Its golden exhibition, fully renewed in November, 2008, is a place you cannot miss in your next trip to Bogota.
This museum was interesting and well set out - taking you on a journey from how the gold objects were made to their significance in the complex belief systems of the various native groups. The very last offering section of the museum (top floor) was amazing so make sure to leave enough time for it. Whilst there are small explanatory sections of text, I'd highly recommend getting an audio guide as it really set the scene and explained the objects in depth with very interesting points on their cultural context. There are numbers in the very top left hand corners of the displays which you tap into the audio guide (just in case you like me have basic Spanish and don't understand the instructions at the front desk!)

Great little museum containing works of renowned Colombian painter and sculptor, Fernando Botero.
I’ve been to museums all over the world but none with a collection as charming and bountiful (pun fully intended) as this one. Botero’s voluptuous heroines and portly heroes jump off the canvas in exuberant delight and my personal favourite the Mona Lisa should truly replace DaVinci’s version as the world’s greatest masterpiece. The rest of the collection wasn’t pretty strong too - Picasso, Chagall, Renoir - I was impressed at the range of artists. This is truly worth a visit.
