This was a great tour! We visited Bogotá, Medellín, Santa Marta, Tayrona National Park, and Cartagena. My highlights were the tour of District 13 in Medellín, the hike in Tayrona, and the cooking class in Cartagena. I would recommend adding in extra days if you have the time because traveling between cities uses up a lot of your day. Diego was a great help with planning and adjusting our itinerary as needed. He also got back to us quickly if we needed anything while we were on the trip. The location of our hotels was great and we really liked the guides we had in each city. We never felt unsafe. Remember you need your passport and proof of yellow fever vaccination to enter Tayrona! The country is beautiful and I wish we could have seen more of it!Show more

While receiving a finalized schedule was a bit delayed, all of our transport smooth and organized, our local guide Roberto was friendly and knowledgeable, and each day’s featured excursions ended up being the source of core memories for our trip. I’m grateful for Responsible Travel South America’s responsive nature to answering any questions or concerns that we had, and for helping to make planning our time in Cartagena a bit easier!Show more
