Luxury Vacations in Colombia

Colombia is the ultimate comeback kid. No other South American country has reconfigured its reputation in the 21st century quite like this one and reaffirmed its status as a uniquely colorful, captivating destination.

Its beaches trace both the Caribbean Sea, to the north, and the Pacific Ocean, to the west; its legendary coffee plantations flourish in the Andean foothills; its sultry forests nurture rare species and vine-clad vestiges of ancient civilizations. A contemporary buzz reverberates in colonial-era, hibiscus-strewn Cartagena, the Michelin-starred restaurants of the capital, Bogotá, the street art daubed across spirited Medellín and the late-night salsa bars of Cali. These cities are captivating portals to what lies beyond: the forested trails of Tayrona National Park, leading to empty white-sand beaches; the indigenous history of San Agustín, where carved stone “tomb guardians” tell the unwritten story of a civilization that vanished six centuries ago; the otherworldly undulations of the russet Tatacoa Desert. Colombia has always had great stories to tell. Now, finally, travellers are flocking to hear them.
