Welcome to Colômbia, the land of warm and kind people, tasty food and an unforgettable rhythm. Arrival and transfer to the hotel, according to flight schedules.

After a short refreshing rest, it's time to start this adventure. We leave the Hotel towards the Casa Quinta de Bolivar Museum, to learn about the history of Símon Bolivar, a central figure in the country's independence and a reason for national pride.

We continue towards one of the iconic places in Bogotá: the Basilica of the Lord of Monserrate. The ascent will be made by the picturesque cable car that will make it easier for us to reach the top. The Basilica is a place of religious pilgrimage from colonial times to the present day. Then we pass by the viewpoint, where we can enjoy the best view over the city and understand its geographical setting.

We start then the descent along the pedestrian path, and we can enjoy the natural beauty of this space and appreciate some of the local fauna. The force of nature in Colombia is always impressive, even in a large South American capital such as Bogotá.

Is this trip for me?

If you like diversified experiences in terms of landscape, culture, and climate, yes, this is for you. It is for those who are enthusiastic about recent success stories and a glimpse of ancestral indigenous culture. This journey includes passing through large urban centers, nature and small villages. And at the end of the trip you will understand why Colombia is one of the most welcoming countries in the world and you will have a smile as a memory, which only those who have been to Colombia can understand.

Who will guide this trip?

What kind of accommodation do I stay in during this trip?

What kind of transportation do we use on this trip?

On this trip we use plane to travel between cities, private transport like Vans and occasionally taxis, metro and bus.

Are arrival and departure transfers included?

Yes, arrival and departure transfers are included if you travel on the "group flight". On this trip there is a "group flight", that is, there is a specific time of arrival (and departure) and the transfers will be according to the arrival (and departure) time of that flight. If you choose to buy different flights, you will have to be at the arrival airport at the same time as the group's flight, to take advantage of the transfers. You must also have the same departure time to take advantage of the transfers.

Does Papa-Léguas handle the flights?

Papa-Léguas sends you a flight proposal. Note: the arrival/departure dates may vary, depending on your origin city. If you have any doubts, contact Papa-Léguas for further clarification. After you receive the flight simulation, you can choose to buy from Papa-Léguas or another agency, or online.

Where do I meet the group?

The group can meet at the airport if the travelers are in the same departure city and have identical flights, or at the airport upon arrival in Bogota.

If I sign up alone, do I have to pay an individual supplement?

Not necessarily. If you do not wish to stay alone in the accommodations, you can share them with another person who is signed up. Papa-Léguas may group travelers who sign up individually for the same trip in pairs, by gender and chronological order of registration, and if the number of participants is odd, the traveler who stays alone must pay the respective individual supplement.

Can I drink tap water in Colombia?

In general, the tap water is good to drink (mainly in urban centers), however it is recommended to follow the behavior of local people.

How much money should I bring for my personal expenses?

Expenses are estimated between 350 Eur and 400 Eur.

Is insurance included in the land program? What does it cover?

It is not included for those departing from outside of Portugal, whether they are Portuguese citizens or not. Contact Papa-Léguas for further clarification. For more information about the policy, see our travel insurance page

What documentation do I need to go on this trip?

The necessary documentation may vary, depending on your nationality, the country of origin and the places you will travel to. For further information, consult the relevant embassy websites or contact Papa-Léguas.

What equipment is essential for this trip?

This is a diversified trip, not in terms of terrain, but of climate (during this trip we will cross all seasons of the year), so suitable equipment is recommended. For example, for the first part of the trip, we recommend that you wear winter/spring clothes that include a jacket and raincoat. For the second part, light clothes, for the beach, sun cream and repellent. We also recommend comfortable walking shoes or boots.

What are the health restrictions for entering the country?
