COLOMBIA TREKKING TRIP 15 DAYS

The Colombia Trekking Trip is a trip where Colombia is discovered in all its natural beauty, in fact, a wonderful place where thousands of colors are found, from the white of the beautiful beaches of the coast, to the crystalline blue of the Caribbean Sea, with the contrast of the green of the jungle, until you reach the snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada.

Therefore, it is a trip that as its main activity offers the trek to the Lost City (Teyuna), preceded by a visit to Bogotá and its beauties of the colonial era with two excursions to the Laguna De Guatavita.

Where the legend of El Dorado and Zipaquirá was born, where the Catedral De Sal is located, a suggestive cathedral built in a salt mine.

We continue with the Colombia Trekking Trip and relax on the wonderful beaches of Tayrona Park and, finally, in Santa Marta and Cartagena, two splendid cities on the Colombian Caribbean coast.
