Things To Do
Bogotá
This is the misunderstood city of Colombia. Framed by its great east hills, this city is vibrant, young and energetic. Everything moves fast here (except traffic) but if you slow down you will be able to see the beauty inside of it. A great colonial city center hosts one the oldest cathedral in South America, the primatial cathedral of Bogota. It is right next to the Palace of Justice, the Presidential house, and a lot of museums like the the Museum of Gold, Botero's museum, among others. If you are not afraid of heights, Monserrate is the perfect chance for a beautiful view of the immensity of Colombia's Capital City. WHERE TO STAY? 1. B.O.G Hotel 2. Click Clack Hotel 3. Hotel Sofitel Victoria Regia
Cartagena
OUR FAVORITE! We wanted to host our wedding in this magical place, but unfortunately this is a very hot spot for destination weddings, which makes everything more difficult to plan. The historic city center is magical and colorful. Antique Churches, street music, hot weather, warm sea and local food are just a few of the things that you can enjoy while being in Cartagena. WHERE TO STAY? We recommend 1. Hotel sofitel legend santa clara 2. Hotel Charleston Santa Teresa 3. Tcherassi Hotel and spa.
Medellín
Medellin is a must. This city is every tourist's favorite thanks to its people, the warmest and kindest in Colombia. We call them paisas, and they will make sure you feel welcomed. Medellin is called "the city of the never ending spring", so prepare yourself for good weather. The food, the people, and the mountains will make your stay in this place unforgettable. WHERE TO STAY? 1. Patio del mundo Hotel 2. Dann Carlton Medellin.
Quimbaya
Coffee, Coffee, Coffee. Did we mention Coffee?. When in Rome, do what romans do. When in Colombia, drink coffee. This small town is one of the many in the "Coffee Region" or "el eje cafetero", which is basically a vast area of Colombia covered by mountains of coffee plantations. You can smell fresh coffee in the air, but better yet, you can taste it in one of their countless haciendas. WHERE TO STAY? 1. Decamerun Panaca 2. Hotel Hacienda San Jose
