Colombia is a vast country still largely undiscovered despite its amazing variety of landscapes and culture.
On this journey from the Andes to the Caribbean we experience the contrasts between cosmopolitan Bogota, colourful Cartagena, and welcoming rural towns.
After soaking up the atmosphere of Villa de Leyva and walking amid giant wax-palms in the the Zona Cafetera, we'll learn what it takes to produce the finest coffee and finish off our Colombian experience with a relaxing stay on the Caribbean coast.
