This Ultimate Colombia guide is based on 100+ hours of research and three months spent travelling all over the country.

It also includes information we have gleaned from slow travelling the country about tipping culture, holidays, best ATMs, transportation, safety and much more!

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!

Minca holds a special place in my heart; it was a trip to the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta that sparked a profound realization of my fortune and blessings to have been born in the beautiful Colombian territory turning me into a fervent explorer of this region. Having visited Minca multiple times, I feel equipped with the best recommendations to make this journey a magical and unforgettable experience. Experiencing Minca in this way has led me to delve into uncommon adventures as have never set foot in the tourist spots that pop up on Google. I've never been to Pozo Azul or the Marinka waterfalls and honestly, I feel like I'm not missing out on anything. This is why i want to share with you my favorites and i hope you like it as much as i do. Discover the best of Minca with my guide! Find top accommodations in town and nestled in nature, uncover hidden natural gems, savor incredible food, and enjoy the best sunset spots. Plus, get reliable transportation contacts and thrilling tips for exploring Cerro Kennedy for adventure lovers.
