Colombia Travel Guide

We absolutely loved our family trip to Colombia! Traveling with my husband and our five-year-old son, we were able to experience such a wonderful variety of what the country has to offer. We enjoyed the incredible culture, fabulous food, and, above all, the warm and welcoming people who made us feel so at home throughout our journey.

The itinerary was a beautiful combination of experiences. We started in the historic and vibrant city of Cartagena, then had time to relax and enjoy the beautiful beaches of Barú, and finally immersed ourselves in nature at a beautiful ecolodge in Antioquia, surrounded by the incredible landscapes of the region. Each destination offered something completely different and together they created the perfect balance of culture, relaxation, adventure, and nature for our family.

What made the trip especially memorable, though, was the people. The team from the Zicasso travel company who assisted us throughout the journey was incredibly warm, attentive, and helpful, and the guides we met along the way were wonderful. A special mention must go to our guide in Antioquia, who was absolutely incredible. He was not only knowledgeable and attentive, but also so kind and wonderful with our son. He made him feel comfortable, included, and excited about each experience, which meant so much to us as parents.

Overall, it was a truly special family trip and we cannot wait to return to Colombia!

Visiting Colombia with Zicasso’s tour operator exceeded my expectations from start to finish. The itinerary was thoughtfully designed, balancing Colombia's vibrant cities, rich history, incredible food, and stunning landscapes. Every transfer, tour, and activity was well organized, which allowed me to relax and focus on enjoying the trip.

What stood out most was the local expertise and responsiveness. Their recommendations felt authentic and helped me experience places and activities I likely would have missed on my own. The guides they selected were nice, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing their country.

Zicasso’s travel company and team delivered as promised for a wonderful 10-day trip to Colombia, with in-country service and attention to detail that surpassed expectations. The guides and activities were all excellent, with particular thanks to our guide who managed the longest leg of our trip in Medellín.

My wife and I just got back from our first trip to Colombia and had a great experience. The team made it extra-special. Zicasso’s travel specialist came up with a great itinerary and it was a true cultural experience.

All the guides were friendly, spoke good English, and were always on time. We learned about filigree, silleteras, saw how they make hats and other items out of palm leaves, tried many great Colombian dishes, and learned about the culture in Colombia.

We had a really special time getting to visit a musical school for kids from very poor neighborhoods and seeing the big positive impact it has made on their lives.

The travel specialist and the team delivered on all promises, and we highly recommend their services to anyone considering a trip to Colombia.

For anyone who has concerns about safety and the reputation Colombia has had regarding the drug trade, I want to say that we felt safe 100% of the time. Everyone was very friendly toward tourists and if you are looking for a cultural experience, this is worth the trip.

Zicasso's travel agency exceeded our expectations! They planned an amazing 10-year anniversary trip for us and even included some very helpful accommodations for our four-month-old baby, who came with us on the trip. It was an amazing experience!

It was a great experience! From the initial contact until the last minute, when our tour guide left us at the airport, it was a wonderful team.

Colombia's beauty took us by surprise! But the team of professionals that took care of us the whole time surpassed our expectations due to their kindness, knowledge, and attention to detail. Their punctuality was impressive every single day. The hotels and restaurants they recommended were impeccable!

This was our first family vacation with Zicasso. My teenagers were very happy and this was the second time for my husband and me. And for sure, there will be a third time with Zicasso!
