Pirates, Dolphins & Mud Volcanoes - Overland Trip

1 ½ weeks: Bogota to Cartagena (KU-SAFC1)

This action-packed Colombia family adventure tour takes you from the capital city of Colombia, Bogota to the beautiful town of Cartagena on the Caribbean Coast. Our Bogota City Tour includes the Plaza de Bolivar and Gold Museum, and a ride on the funicular railway to the top of Monserrate Hill. We drive to Panacar Park to learn about the agriculture of the area and life in the countryside, and then stay in the beautiful colonial village of Villa de Leyva, where we visit an Ostrich farm, Fossil Museum and take a horse ride in the desert. From Santa Marta we take a day tip to Tayrona National Park to explore the beaches and tropical forest, and we snorkel with certified instructors learning about the fish of the Caribbean. Next stop the UNESCO listed city of Cartagena – with its beautiful colonial architecture set within the old city walls and where we will also discover the castle of San Felipe. From Cartagena we explore the Rosario Islands, to swim off the islands beaches, visit the aquarium to see its performing dolphins and sharks, and explore Pirate Island. We also visit the Mud Volcano for a volcanic mud bath, before offering you free time in Cartagena to enjoy this amazing city at your own pace.
