Colombia Journey

A Journey Through Colombia: From Coffee Mountains to the Wild Pacific 🌊

 

Discover Colombia in a way few travelers ever do, from the vibrant streets of Medellín to the untouched Pacific coast. This 10-day journey takes you deep into Colombia’s heart, where culture, nature, and adventure meet.

We begin in Medellín, the city of eternal spring, exploring its inspiring story of transformation and the colorful energy of Comuna 13. From there, the road leads us to Jardín, a colonial gem hidden in the green mountains of Antioquia. Here we taste coffee straight from the source, ride with local cowboys through rolling hills, and hike to hidden waterfalls before sharing music and traditions with the community.

The second half of the journey takes us off the beaten path, across the Andes and into the wild Pacific. In Bahía Solano and Nuquí, the jungle meets the ocean in a region few outsiders ever see. By day, we venture out for whale watching, jungle hikes, and surf sessions; by night, we gather around bonfires on empty beaches, enjoying fresh seafood and the rhythm of the waves. Hot springs, pristine beaches, and the warm hospitality of local fishing villages make this a side of Colombia that feels like a secret.

This is not just a trip, it’s a journey of connection: to people, to nature, and to yourself. From buzzing plazas to untouched shores, every day brings a new perspective on Colombia’s incredible diversity.

 Day 1
Introduction
Day 1 – Arrival in Medellín

Welcome to Medellín, the city of eternal spring. After your arrival, we settle into our boutique hotel in the vibrant neighborhoods of El Poblado or Laureles. In the evening we enjoy a welcome dinner with Colombian flavors and soak in the first impressions of this dynamic city.

 Day 2
Day 2 – Medellín Transformation

Today we explore Medellín’s incredible story of change. From the colorful streets and graffiti of Comuna 13 to the cable cars connecting neighborhoods across the valley, we discover how the city turned its dark past into a story of hope. In the afternoon we visit La Catedral, Pablo Escobar’s prison on the hill. If you have energy left in the evening, we will hit the streets of Poblado.

 Day 3
Day 3 – Journey to Jardín

We leave Medellín behind and drive into the green mountains of Antioquia. After a scenic ride we arrive in Jardín, one of Colombia’s most beautiful colonial towns. Cobblestone streets, colorful houses, and the buzzing town square welcome us. In the evening we relax with a coffee in the plaza and enjoy the authentic paisa atmosphere.

 Day 4
Day 4 – Coffee & Nature in Jardín

A local coffee farmer takes us into his world today. We walk the fields, pick beans, and learn the process from seed to cup before tasting the freshest coffee you’ve ever had. In the afternoon we hike to the Cueva del Esplendor, a cave with a waterfall hidden in the jungle, and return to town for a relaxed evening.

 Day 5
Day 5 – Horses & Countryside Life

Today is all about the countryside. We ride horses with local cowboys through the rolling green hills, visit trout farms, and share lunch in a rustic spot surrounded by nature. In the evening we experience traditional Antioquian music and dances with the community.

 Day 6
Day 6 – Flight to the Pacific Coast

After driving back to Medellín, we board a short but very scenic flight across the mountains and jungles to Bahía Solano in Chocó. From here we transfer to the small fishing village of El Valle, where the jungle meets the Pacific Ocean. Our evening ends with a beach bonfire, local music, and stories under the stars.

 Day 7
Day 7 – Whales, Waterfalls & Jungle

The Pacific shows its wild side today. In the morning we head out on a boat to see humpback whales (July–October main season), followed by a free afternoon. The day ends with a seafood dinner and the sound of waves outside our lodge.

 Day 8
Day 8 – Retreat & Reconnection

This day is dedicated to slowing down and recharging. The morning begins with an optional yoga session by the beach, followed by a light breakfast. Later we take a short hike through the jungle, listening to the sounds of nature all around us. In the afternoon you can choose to surf the Pacific waves, stroll along untouched beaches, or simply rest in a hammock with the ocean breeze.

Day 9
Day 9 – Nuquí Escape

By boat we reach the remote paradise of Nuquí. Here, hot springs bubble in the middle of the rainforest, pristine beaches stretch for miles, and local communities welcome us into their world. Depending on the season, we may also spot whales right from the shore. We spend our last night on the Pacific in this hidden gem, with a farewell dinner celebrating our journey.

Day 10
Day 10 – Return to Medellín

After breakfast by the ocean, we take our flight directly from Nuquí back to Medellín. Depending on flight times, there’s a final chance for Colombian coffee before connecting with your onward journey.
