An amazing amazing trip!
The trip, to Colombia, was a lot of fun for our family. The guide we had for Cartagena was awesome, and Cartagena is very nice, we wish we were there for more time. Thank you!
For travelers who have their sights set on South America, Colombia is in the midst of a major revival; in fact, it has been on the rise ever since the death of drug lord Pablo Escobar in 1993. With up-and-coming metropolises and stunning nature opportunities, this a great trip for those who want to experience a mix of both for a fun, well-rounded adventure.
exciting capital.
Welcome to Bogotá! A driver will meet you at the airport for transportation to the hotel.
Colombia's biggest city is on the rise in terms of gastronomy and culture, so spend your free time discovering this vibrant Andean capital by foot. Explore the cobblestone streets through the La Candelaria neighborhood, where trendy restaurants and colonial-era landmarks are located, as well as excellent museums, shopping, and street food options ranging from empanadas to exotic fruit salads.
After breakfast or in the afternoon, it's time to hit the streets and explore Bogotá! You'll be picked up at your hotel by a local guide who will share his/her city knowledge on this half-day tour.
Half-Day Walking Tour: Take a thorough walking tour through colorful La Candelaria — the heart of Bogota's historic center with narrow streets, cultural landmarks, and shops selling local goods. 
Transfer to the lush rainforest near Leticia.
Today, partake in the ultimate adventure and fly south towards Colombia's slice of the Amazon rainforest. When you arrive at Leticia's airport, you'll transfer to a private boat and head down the Amazon River to reach Calanoa Lodge — an eco-friendly guesthouse dedicated to conservation and working closely with local communities. That means there will be some restrictions for guests including the use of rainwater, limited hours for electricity, and meals prepared according to standard practice and availability.
After dinner, join a local guide for a nighttime jungle walk to soak in the noises of insects and animals that only come out after dark. 
While in Leticia, transfer to the Agape Natural Reserve and learn about protecting the Amazon Forest through a range of activities. Hike through the trails, kayak in the gorges and lakes, relax in the hammocks, or climb a tree to a canopy platform 114 feet high with the safety of ropes and harnesses. From here you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Amazonian jungle.
Have lunch in the visitor's center before departing. There’s even an option for camping in the canopy. 
This day-time boat excursion departs from Colombia's southern coast and enters Brazil via the Amazon and Javari Rivers.
You'll float to the town of Benjamin Constant, named after a Brazilian revolutionary, which is accessible only by boat. This is an area inhabited by Ticuna Indians, and the Maguta Musuem in town is devoted to their language and culture. But the biggest draw is perhaps not the town itself, rather the pink river dolphins which frequent the area, often jumping and swimming next to the boats.
Return to Leticia (on the Colombia side) and visit local handicraft shops. 
Welcome to Cartagena! This picturesque colonial city on the Caribbean Sea is rich in culture, architecture, romance — and, yes, even pirate history. Upon arrival, you'll be picked up from the airport and transferred to your hotel.
Early in the afternoon you’ll jump into action with a neighborhood walk, with an English-speaking guide.
Spend the day on the beach on a nearby Caribbean Island.
Rise and shine! After an early breakfast, you will be picked up from your hotel bright and early and transferred to the pier for a speedboat transfer (an hour by boat) towards the Baru Peninsula. Along the way, you will see Tierra Bomba Island and Boca Chica, an ancient fort that once protected Cartagena.
Once you arrive at the Rosario Islands, change into your swimwear before you head to Playa Azul, a stunning white-sand beach on the bright turquoise Caribbean Sea. After a buffet lunch is served, you will have time to relax and sunbathe, or rent a kayak (pay directly) in the sea before returning to Cartagena in the late afternoon.
A car will pick you up at the pier to take you back to your hotel to collect your luggage before dropping you off at the airport for a flight to Bogota.
Domestic flight from Cartagena to Bogota and Overnight Bogota. 
Early morning transfer from your hotel to the airport for your international flight out at 7am.
