Medellín to Bogota Adventure: Coffee & Salsa Sounds

Make the most of a free day in Medellin and start exploring. Opt to visit the nearby town of Guatapé, with its colourful houses and famous rock. Ride the metrocable—a cable car part of Medellín’s public transportation—for sweeping views of the city and surrounding mountains.

Say “Adios!” to Medellín and hop on a bus to Manizales. Known as “The City of Open Doors” for its welcoming residents, you will fall in love with this mountainside city. And if you’re a coffee lover — you won’t want to leave. Spend the day exploring and learning about coffee cultivation, or visit a nature reserve.

Soak in the therapeutic waters of the Tierra Viva thermal baths for a relaxing start to your morning. Later, take the scenic route to Salento, admiring the beautiful landscapes along the way.

Venture out on a morning hike through the towering palms of the Cocora Valley. This afternoon, choose from a variety of optional activities in the coffee region of Quindío.

Climb aboard a local bus to Armenia for a coffee farm tour. Learn about coffee production before enjoying lunch on the farm. Don’t worry, there will be an opportunity to shop so you can bring one of Colombia’s most important exports home with you. The perfect souvenir!)

Travel to the bustling city of Cali by bus. Admire the 26m high Cristo Rey monument on a guided tour. Later, learn (or attempt) to dance like a local with a salsa class.
