Why This Trip Stands Out
This 8-day Colombia trip is designed for solo travelers and combines city culture with mountain scenery, Caribbean rainforest and Cartagena. The route keeps the pace moving without trying to cover the entire country in one trip.
- Start in Medellín and explore the surrounding region.
- Visit Guatapé and climb El Peñol for wide-open views.
- Spend time in the jungle and coastline of Tayrona National Park.
- Finish in colorful Cartagena on the Caribbean coast.
Sample Itinerary
Days 1–3 | Medellín & Guatapé
Meet your solo group in Medellín, experience the city and head into the surrounding countryside for Guatapé and El Peñol.
Days 4–5 | Caribbean Coast & Tayrona
Use an included internal flight as part of the move north, then spend time around Tayrona National Park with rainforest, beaches and active outdoor sightseeing.
Days 6–8 | Cartagena
Finish in Cartagena with colonial streets, Caribbean food, local culture and time to explore the historic center before departure.
