What people say

Jordan and Emily
"You'll see 10-20 jeeps lined up here when you arrive in the square. There is a little blue office hut in the middle where you can buy your return tickets for the Jeep ride (Willy ride) to Cocora Valley! 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲: You MIGHT be standing on the back of the jeep rather than sitting inside, but it's a nice ride! 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲: www.youtube.com/jordanandemily 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁: 9000 COP p/p for a return ticket ($3.50 AUD) "
"Valley with the funniest, Dr. Seuss-looking palm trees. These wax palms trees are actually the tallest in the world (some almost 200ft) and only grow in this valley! Such a fun place to walk around for the day, enjoy the palm trees and the views of the valley from the viewpoints. Cost: - Willy from town: 8,000 COP round trip - Entrance fee: 10,000 COP"
"One of the most jaw dropping landscapes I have ever seen. Go early to not wait in line and see the view without the crowds!! You can get a ride from a cheap jeep in the town square (go at like 7:30am). Go on the loop hike and thank me later!! Pro tip: go the reverse route as its easier and less crowded. "

This Ultimate Colombia guide is based on 100+ hours of research and three months spent travelling all over the country. We absolutely fell in love with the breathtaking nature, complex history and vibrant people of Colombia and we want you to equip you to do the same! This guide includes an interactive map and details about our favourite towns, restaurants, activities and accommodations. It also includes information we have gleaned from slow travelling the country about tipping culture, holidays, best ATMs, transportation, safety and much more! Unlocking this guide gives you access for life so you will automatically receive any updates when we return to Colombia or hear of additional places to visit in the country. Plus this guide is web- and mobile-friendly so you can save it to reference as you travel through the country! Guide includes: - best time to visit (seasons, holidays, etc. ) - money stuff (currency, ATMS, tipping) - transportation (flying, busing, driving) - where to stay, what to do, where to eat and drink in the following cities: Cartagena, Santa Marta, Minca, Bogota, Salento, Jardin, Medellin, Guatape - 15 places that were recommended but we did not visit We hope this guide provides everything you need to know to plan your own trip to Colombia, whether that's for a week or 3 months! Tag us in your planning and travels so we can see your experiences in this amazing country! @EricandSarah_ *Full transparency: this is not an ultra-budget guide. We include a range of free to paid activities in each place, a variety of restaurant options and mid-range priced accommodations (mostly Airbnbs). It's based on our own travel style which we'd consider "medium budget" - we like to save money but are also willing to splurge on certain comforts and activities. We believe there is valuable information for any type of traveller though!
