You tour has a free day in Medellin, but you don't list a trip to Guatape as an optional activity. Is there a reason for that? Could a day trip be arranged? Also, I was in REI a few days ago and saw Intrepid offered a REI member discount on tours departing this year. Will you also offer a discount for a tour in Feb. '27?

Yes, on Day 7 in Medellin travellers generally have the option to join the following optional activity: Medellin – Guatape + Penol Rock Day Tour – approximately COP 140000. This can usually be arranged locally through your tour leader while on the trip. Regarding the REI member discount, eligibility and applicable departure dates can vary depending on the promotion terms and conditions. We'd recommend checking directly via the REI website for the most up-to-date information and any applicable offers for February 2027 departures.

Could you please confirm the following: 1. If i take the single supplement, will 100% of the nights be spent in a single occupancy room, including during the stay in the coffee region? 2. Can you please list the optional tours nd associated prices?

The single supplement excludes Days 3,4 (Coffee Estancia) where you will be in shared accommodation and is subject to availability. Here's the optional activity list and their prices, with details for Bogota, Medellin, and Cartagena tours ranging from COP30000 to COP390000.

I am vegetarian and would like to know how to request vegetarian meals when booking our trip. I do not eat any beef, pork, chicken or fish. I will eat dairy products.

Generally speaking, in bigger cities/towns vegetarians can expect a reasonable range of vegetarian venues and/or vegetarian options within tourist restaurant menus. However, vegetarianism is not the norm in this part of the world so options can be limited when eating at homestays, small local restaurants, street stalls, markets, etc. More restrictive diet requirements (vegans, coeliac, gluten intolerance, fructose intolerance, lactose intolerance, etc.) can also be accommodated along this trip but you should expect a lesser variety than what you can expect at home. We recommend that, if possible, to bring your own supply of snacks with you.

How many people are usually on this tour?

The maximum group size for most of our tours is 12 people.

Which tour you can incluide children?

The minimum age for this trip is 15 and if you are looking to travel with children under 15, please let us know so that we can suggest a suitable trip. Also, please note that we do not have family trips for Colombia.

How can I book the cable car and a driver for a visit to Montserrate?

We can arrange the Montserrate cable car for you. Please let us know if you want us to arrange this activity so we can request it with our local team. You can reach out to us via the Ask a Question button for more information.

How safe is it to be at Montserrate alone after dark?

Safety is important to us. If you have concerns about safety after dark, we can arrange for you to return to your accommodation with transportation after your visit to Montserrate.

What are the available optional activities in Bogota?

Optional activities in Bogota include the Montserrate cable car, as well as visits to the Museo Nacional and the Gold Museum. Please confirm which activities you'd like to participate in so we can assist further.

What are the travel document requirements?

You don't need physical travel documents; saving a copy of your TourRadar confirmation notification is recommended to present on Day 1 in case of a name discrepancy on the passenger list.

Can payments be made with a credit card?

Payments can be made using a credit card. Please be aware that credit card payments might be subject to a surcharge.

I did the Cafe Colombia intrepid tour in November 2024. This was an excellent tour with the brilliant Santiago as our tour leader. The accommodation throughout was really good and the coaches and buses were comfortable. There were some great highlights. Staying at the coffee farm and taking the coffee tour was just an incredible experience. Colombia is a such a beautiful country and each stop on the tour was fascinating, enjoyable and really worthwhile. The pace of the tour was good and while there were a couple of early starts, we had plenty of time for relaxation too. We were lucky to have Santiago as our group leader. He is knowledgeable, friendly, professional and very helpful. He went out of his way to ensure we had a real understanding of everything. Nothing was too much trouble and he had some great suggestions for restaurants and salsa bars! When the internal airline cancelled one of our internal flights, he handled it really well and got us all on the next flight. I would highly recommend this tour.Show more

This was an amazing itinerary! I was a single female traveler and felt safe at all times. I had the best group guide Martin, who was super friendly, knowledgeable & went above and beyond to show us a great time. I have a lot of dietary restrictions & Martin really tried his best to accommodate me, I am so grateful. Unfortunately I had an emergency & had to leave on day 4 so my trip was disrupted. I would love to return to Columbia in the future. This was an action packed itinerary. I highly recommend this tour & tour guide Martin to anyone who is active & loves to explore.Show more
