Adventure
We've got a week of unique local adventures and experiences planned for you! In Cartagena, some of the highlights will be exploring the walled city, enjoying vibrant graffiti art of Getsemani and going salsa dancing (taking a beginner lesson!). In Santa Marta, we will hike through Tayrona National Natural Park, exploring the beautiful flora and fauna as we journey to pristine beaches. We'll also have the opportunity to add on extra adventure like a (lazy) river tubing tour, surfing or horseback riding (additional costs). |
|
Relaxation
Our ultimate day of relaxation will be spent island hopping on our own boat through the Rosario Islands. We'll visit beaches, pause for swimming, and enjoy a delicious lunch, while soaking up the sun. With all the excitement and activities planned, there will also be plenty of free time to relax and chill. You can relax poolside or at the beach, sign up for an additional excursion/activity or relax at our beautiful hotels. |

Accommodations
Throughout our stay in Colombia, we will find comfortable accommodations at boutique properties with local charm and modern amenities. In Cartagena, we will find comfortable accommodations for three nights at Hotel Capellan, a boutique hotel in the heart of the popular Getsemani neighborhood. Walking down the cobblestone streets, you'd never expect this majestic property to exist! The hotel is in a great area for shopping and dining, and it is also steps away from the Walled City / Old City full of history and additional restaurants, bars and excitement.
In Santa Marta, we are staying three nights at the luxurious Cayena Beach Villa right on the beach, complete with an incredible pool and covered fitness area. We will have a professional chef preparing breakfasts and dinners on site to enjoy while viewing the Sierra Nevada mountain range in the background.
