Sorry! There are no remaining departures for "Colombia Experience" (SMCE), but here are some similar trips.
Discover a corner of South America that's been off the tourist map for years. Without sacrificing your comfort, this fascinating Colombian adventure will take you to coffee plantations to taste where your morning cup of joe comes from, then on to to Medellín for some big-city bustle. Then switch gears and indulge in the caribbean beauty of Tayrona, and the colonial charm of Cartagena. This 12-day journey is an intriguing mixture of rural, tropical and urban—and culture and of course, coffee.

Itinerary Notes
Due to unexpected maintenance by the Colombian government, Tayrona Park has been closed for the month of November. Until the park is reopened, we will instead be heading to the Guajira Peninsula to visit Los Flamencos Sanctuary and take a boat tour to spot the vibrant American flamingo. Afterwards, we visit the Riocha Community to meet the local people and shop at the Wayuu tribe market.
