Itinerary
Day 1: Usa/Canada – Bogota (Arrival)
Make your way to the International Airport to board your flight to Colombia. Enjoy in-flight meals and services. Upon arrival, you will be met by one of our representatives and transferred to your hotel. Enjoy the rest of the day at leisure to explore this city at your own pace. Colombia's captivating capital is a nine-million-metropolis that stretches over 40 km from north to south and 20 km from east to west. Situated in the center of the country and 2650 meters above sea level, Bogotá is the raised and rising economic and industrial powerhouse of the country. The national legislature, the Supreme Court of Justice, and the residence of the President of the Republic (Casa de Nariño) reside here, surrounding the grand Plaza de Bolivar in Bogota's picturesque historic center. Here in \"La Candelaria\", colorfully painted colonial buildings house excellent museums and galleries, libraries, and cafés, all set against the magnificent backdrop of the Andean Mountains which lie east of the city. The Monserrate Church and the Virgin of Guadalupe reside here on the mountain tops and overlook Bogota. They offer the most incredible views across the maze of buildings, buses, and barrios, showcasing the eclectic mix of modern and historic and an increasingly cosmopolitan city.

The tour will end with a trip in a cable car to the top of Monserrate Hill, which offers breathtaking views of the city.

Day 3: Bogota – Cartagena (By Flight) (B/-/-)
At the arranged time you will be transferred to the Armenia airport for your flight to Cartagena. Upon arrival in Cartagena, you will be transferred to your hotel for check-in. Head on a tour of the city. This fascinating half-day tour will start at the Convent of La Popa* (the highest point in the city) and continue to the Castillo de San Felipe, an immense fort filled with history and mysteries hidden in its stonewalled tunnels. Leaving the castle, visit the monument of Zapatos Viejos — the “Old Shoes”. The most impressive monument is the gigantic defensive wall that surrounds the old city and overlooks the sea and its well-preserved colonial architecture. During the rest of your visit, you will see the citys churches, museums, plazas, restaurants, shops, and jewelry stores. This combination of treasures makes Cartagena deserving of the title of UNESCO World Heritage Site! You will never forget this wonderful destination.
*Note: If La Popa is closed, this visit will be replaced with the San Pedro Claver Convent.

Narrow streets flanked by heavy oak doors, gorgeous, flowered balconies, and friendly and welcoming people give Cartagena the perfect combination of colonial history and cultural attractions. Beautiful beaches close by, such as the Rosario Islands, invite visitors with their crystal-clear waters and the wide variety of tours and excursions there are to choose from.
