About the trip

This G Adventures small-group tour leads you through Colombia’s Caribbean coast over nine nights, starting in Cartagena. Here, the walled city invites leisurely strolls past colonial architecture and bold, street-level colour. From there it’s on to Minca, a village surrounded by forest, where a walk to the Marinka Waterfalls offers a glimpse of the lush hinterland.

The journey continues to the coastal town of Palomino, where evenings might be spent around a beach bonfire, then to Santa Marta and nearby Tayrona National Park. The park’s trails wind through jungle and along the shore, its biodiversity evident in the sounds and occasional flash of wildlife. The tour ends in Medellín with a visit to Comuna 13, notable for its striking street art and community-led regeneration.

The itinerary includes a mix of walking, local transport and a domestic flight, accompanied throughout by a G Adventures CEO. Accommodation ranges from hotels to hostels with multi-share rooms. Meals and activities offer flexibility, recognising the social side of group travel without assuming a prescribed pace.
