Colombia: Culture, Coffee & Caribbean

The accommodation on this tour of Colombia has been chosen to give a varied and authentic experience of the country. The accommodations used are noted on the day-to-day itinerary; however, below are a couple of the standout places we stay.



San Agustín: Akawanka Lodge







Set in lush gardens on the outskirts of San Agustín, Akawanka Lodge is the perfect place to relax after busy days exploring. Rooms are simple yet thoughtfully decorated with hand-painted murals and wooden furnishings. The lodge restaurant uses ingredients from the gardens and orchard, and views from the terrace are spellbinding.



Cartagena: Hotel Don Pedro De Heredia







With an enviable location within the walls of Cartagena old town, Don Pedro de Heredia is a charming hotel and great base for our time in the city. Rooms are decorated in a simple, traditional style with antique wooden furniture and exposed beams. The hotel has a rooftop terrace with views across Cartagena.



Worth knowing



In several of our accommodations, rooms vary in size, style and decoration.

It is common for bathroom sinks in Bogotá to have only cold water available.

For two nights in Palomino (near Tayrona National Park), we stay in a delightful but simple hotel surrounded by forest. The climate here is hot and humid. Rooms have a fan but there is no air-conditioning or hot water. Wifi is only available in the communal areas.
