With postcard-perfect beaches, biodiverse jungles and bustling megacities, Colombia is a traveller's wonderland . It is a place of such diversity and beauty that it is simply impossible to see absolutely everything it has to offer in one trip. But don't worry, we have selected the best of Colombia for this 11-day trip in the Collection version.
We will start in Bogota and enjoy an evening of great food and a unique atmosphere in the most iconic restaurant in the capital. Then we will take flight to reach Medellin , an intoxicating place that has shaken off its past to become a modern and innovative city that asks nothing more than to be explored. The next stop is Cartagena de Indias , the jewel of the Caribbean, where the pace is slow, the architecture is beautiful and the parties go on until late at night. While we're here, we'll discover its history in the company of a local guide and get involved in salsa dancing, then head out to sea for a full-day boat trip to the paradisiacal Rosario Islands , before spending another two days at the beach in Baru and then returning to Bogota for our last night, and ending this incredible trip in the right way.

Medellin and the Comuna 13
The city of eternal spring
This morning we leave immediately because our destination is a very special place . After the short flight from Bogota, we will land in Medellin , the city of eternal spring. Situated in a narrow valley, Medellin has an infectious energy that you feel the moment you set foot on its streets. It is a city with a great reputation and an "inconvenient" past: this is the place from which Pablo Escobar launched his drug trafficking empire. But while 25 years ago it was one of the most dangerous cities in the world, it is now an innovative and inviting metropolis, full of beautiful parks and warm, welcoming people. We will learn about the transformation of Medellin by taking a tour of La Comuna 13 . This mountainside neighborhood was once the epicenter of drug cartel violence. But in recent decades, numerous community projects, including an ingenious series of outdoor escalators, have helped transform this poor neighborhood into one of the liveliest and most exciting parts of the city. We'll ride escalators, admire street art, and learn about Medellin's past and present with the help of a local guide.

Antioquia and the Colombian coffee plantations
Among the coffee plantations
Today we will leave the city to take a break: yes, you guessed it, it's coffee time! We will enjoy a scenic drive through the beautiful landscapes of Antioquia to reach a locally owned traditional coffee plantation . Here a farmer and his family produce their own brand of coffee and we will have the opportunity to observe the entire coffee preparation process from plant to cup . We will walk through the fields learning more about growing and harvesting coffee beans before seeing a demonstration of the best way to prepare it. Notebooks ready...
After a traditional lunch in the countryside , we will make a stop in Santa Fe de Antioquia , one of the oldest colonial cities in Latin America. Back in Medellin, we will have a free evening to walk around the city and taste some good street food. We're talking delicacies like cheese-filled buñuelos and chicken pastel with a side of homemade ají hot sauce. Yes please!
Accommodation: Hotel Quinta Ladera, Faranda Collection or similar
Included: overnight stay with breakfast, excursion to the coffee plantation and visit to Santa Fe de Antioquia
Not included: meals and drinks
Let's explore Medellin
Guatapé and Rock Stone
Today we will take a day trip to Guatape , a nearby town known as the most colorful city in all of Colombia, where we can soak up the relaxed atmosphere before moving on to the famous El Peñón de Guatapé . This granite monolith is a national monument and, with a climb of 659 steps required to reach the summit, the views of the sprawling lake and endless expanse of green mountains are spectacular.
For the evening we are in Medellin and we can experience a bit of its nightlife first hand. Let's Dance?
Accommodation: Hotel Quinta Ladera, Faranda Collection or similar
Included: overnight stay with breakfast, entrance and visit to Guatape and Piedra del Peñól with private transport

We reach the Caribbean: towards Cartagena
Finally sea!
After breakfast we say goodbye to Medellin and take a flight to Cartagena , on the Caribbean coast of Colombia . After a short transfer we reach our base for the next three days. They have been busy days and in the next few we will have plenty of time to enjoy the sea with excursions of all kinds, so today is a day to take things slowly. So what to do? Catch some sun, finally read a few pages of that book you've been carrying around for days or sip a cocktail by the pool. Either way, we'll relax and enjoy our surroundings - we've earned it!
Accommodation: Sofitel Legend Santa Clara, Osh Hotel Getsemani similar

Two days between Cartagena and Isla Rosario
Cartagena de Indias: two steps to Getsemani
Cartegena is a place where you have to feel as much as see, so to immerse ourselves in its unique atmosphere on this first day we will take a walk through the historic center with its labyrinth of cobbled streets, impressive churches and surprisingly colorful houses. We also have a guided tour of Getsemani , the coolest neighborhood in Cartagena, full of trendy restaurants and bars open until dawn, and a salsa lesson to learn some dance steps that we can already show off this evening. Ready to celebrate with the locals? Of course we are!
Rosario Island
For our second day in Cartagena we thought of something special. We will no doubt have admired the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea since our flight from Medellin landed. Well, today is the day we can finally hit the open sea with a full-day boat trip to the beautiful Rosario Islands . We can load the boat with drinks and snacks and then set off to discover the 27 islands fringed with palm trees and white sand that make up this splendid archipelago. We can swim and snorkel, and since the whole area is a National Park, the marine life is spectacular. What a day!
Accommodation: Sofitel Legend Santa Clara, Osh Hotel Getsemani similar
Included: overnight stay with breakfast, guided tour of Getsemani and Salsa Class on day 6, boat excursion to the Rosario Islands
Not included: meals and drinks where not indicated
Baru: two more days at sea
Just relax
We have to say goodbye to Cartagena but don't worry: the time to abandon the Caribbean has not yet come - on the contrary! We have two more days to enjoy the crystal clear waters of this sea, so ready to set off again, this time in the direction of Baru , which we reach by sea! Baru is an island-peninsula not far from Cartagena, connected to the mainland by a bridge, and will be our home for the next two days. We settle into the hotel, put on our swimsuits, and are ready to dive! There are many activities we can do: snorkeling, kayaking, water sports, SUP... or simply relax in the sun and work on your tan! We enjoy these last days of sea and sun before returning to Bogota.
Accommodation: Sofitel Baru Calablanca or similar
Included: overnight stay with breakfast, transfer by sea to Baru
Not included: meals and drinks
Let's go back to Bogota
A day of travel
Unfortunately, it's time to say goodbye to the Caribbean coast as we return to Cartagena and board our last domestic flight back to where it all began, Bogota. In the afternoon we will have time for a sightseeing tour. And what better way to see a city than from above? With a few euros you can go up by cable car to the summit of Cerro di Monserrate . The altitude is high and we will probably be breathless once we reach the top, but the view of the sprawling city in the middle of a deep valley will be truly thrilling. If you are not a fan of heights, then we can visit the most famous museum in Bogota, and one of the best in Latin America, the Gold Museum. Prepare to be dazzled! And as the sun sets on our final day, and on our Colombian adventure, we will spend this final evening making final memories with our new friends, thinking back to the experiences we shared as we raise a glass of Guaro. Thanks Colombia!

FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions
Round-trip flights are not included in any of our trips because we like to give you autonomy and flexibility: you can choose the airline you want to fly with, the departure airport that suits you best, and how many and which stops you want to make.
Since flights are not included, you also have more flexibility with your travel dates: if possible, you can arrive at your destination a few days earlier or return home a bit later – or even continue independently to a nearby destination!
This is the question of all questions, and here’s the answer, broken down into points!
The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all tour participants and managed by your Travel Coordinator.
It is used to streamline paymentsfor extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do and to guarantee flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group.
It is typically collected on the first day of the trip in local currency, although at times, the Travel Coordinator may ask for it to be paid before departure.
You’ll find the amount of the money pot on the website under the section ‘What’s included in the money pot’ – how do you get there? Look for ‘What’s included’, scroll down to ‘Money pot? Click here’, and you’ll find the details.
The amount varies depending on the destination chosen.
It is used exclusively for group expenses that ALL participants decide to take part in.
It is estimated based on the experiences of other groups but can vary depending on the needs of the group itself. As such, the Travel Coordinator may need to increase the amount during the trip.
If not all of the money pot is used, the difference will be returned to all participants at the end of the trip in equal amounts.
The Money Pot also covers the Travel Coordinator’s share of the activities included in the money pot, except for those activities that are free for the Travel Coordinator.
If you pay in advance part of the money pot before the trip for certain non-refundable optional activities, unfortunately, the amount cannot be refunded in case of trip cancellation.
We offer several payment methods to meet all needs:
1. Credit or debit card from Visa, Mastercard, or American Express.
2. Installment payments for certain countries only
If you choose the deposit and balance option, you can pay the balance from your MyWeRoad Personal Area via bank transfer.
Anyone who books a WeRoad trip has the option to cancel or modify the trip – including both the dates and the destination – free of charge up to 31 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you will receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price. If you make a change, a price adjustment will be applied to the new trip chosen – meaning, if the new trip is cheaper, we will refund the difference; if it’s more expensive, you will need to pay the difference.
If you’ve purchased the Flexible Cancellation Option (which you can add in the first step of the booking process), you can request a cancellation or trip change until 8 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you’ll receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price, minus the cost of the Flexible Cancellation option.
How to request a cancellation or change to your trip? Send us an email at [email protected] or a WhatsApp on +447716573700. Please share the booking reference for the trip you want to cancel or change, and, in case of a change, the new trip you would like to join.
In general, we always choose local accommodations, avoiding large hotel chains, because we love to experience the culture of the place and, whenever possible, contribute to the local economy. Typically, our accommodations are hotels, apartments, guesthouses, and hostels run by local entrepreneurs, with the same standard maintained across all trips in the same destination.
For our Collection trips, which are our premium category, the accommodations are always 4 or 5-star or carefully selected boutique hotels.
The list of accommodations for your trip will be shared with you by your Travel Coordinator between 5 and 3 days before departure, along with other useful details for your adventure!
If you're wondering why WeRoad trips have a money pot, we’re assuming you already know what it is. If not, or if you have any doubts, we invite you to read all the information here!
Let’s quickly recap: The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all tour participants and managed by your Travel Coordinator. It’s used to speed up payments for extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do and to guarantee flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group.
But let’s get to the point: why the money pot? First of all: it gives us a lot of flexibility. In all WeRoad trips you will have a bunch of Must See/Must Do activities already included - these are experiences, places or activities that simply cannot be missed! Any extra activities is decided by the group, why? Because each group is unique and may have particular wants or desires and the Money Pot allows each group to customise their trip to make it perfect for their requirements!
It also helps us speed up payments – imagine being in the subway in New York City, one by one purchasing the ticket...a nightmare right? Thanks to the Money Pot, the Travel Coordinator can simply purchase the tickets for everyone making the entire processes smoother! Any leftover money will be returned at the end of the trip and split equally amongst all participants.
In some destinations, buying goods or services on site is more economical as you are able to negotiate the price - places like Morocco, or South East Asia, bargaining is part of the culture. As such, our Travel Coordinators will be able to secure the best deal for all participants.

WeRoad is not authorised to provide this information due to privacy reasons.
However, there is a solution - you can connect with your travel buddies by joining our Facebook group. Look for a post related to your trip, or ask the group admins for help in connecting with your future travel companions!
If a Travel Coordinator has already been assigned to the trip you're interested in, you can easily find their introduction post in the group via the website: in the tour list, click on 'Ask the coordinator', or in the trip details page, in the coordinator section, click on 'Ask [coordinator's name] for information on this trip in our Facebook group'. For both cases, see the screenshots below!

Trip details page
In all our groups, the Travel Coordinator and participants speak English – knowing how to speak and understand English is therefore a fundamental requirement to participate in our trips.
On average the groups are made up of 6-15 people, with a minimum of 3/4 participants and a maximum of 15.
All our travellers are in theirs 20s, 30s and 40s. If you're very curios to know the age range of the group for a tour you're interested in, you can contact us by WhatsApp at +447716573700
Regarding the male-female ratio, this is not guaranteed and varies trip by trip.
The WeRoad Travel Coordinator is an experienced and skilled traveller and will be the perfect companion for your trip. They will be available for any eventuality and will manage all the logistical aspects of the itinerary (transports, timings, accommodations, meeting points, etc.), so you can enjoy the trip without any worries!
You will have the chance to get to know them when the WhatsApp group is created approximately 2 weeks before departure - this will be the moment to ask any pre-departure questions and get to know the rest of the group! If the trip you are interested in already has a Travel Coordinator assigned, you can contact them before booking – their details will be specified in the schedule or on the trip page, or you can search for their name here. After booking, you will find their contact details in your Personal Area, under ‘Bookings and Trips’ > ‘Your Upcoming Trips’ > ‘Trip Details’.
Yes, in all our trips you will share a room with other same-sex travellers, and the bathroom will either be private or shared only with fellow participants of the trip. The rooms we select can be doubles, triples, quadruples, or multi-bed (up to 8 people in exceptional cases), depending on the destination and availability.
There are never dorms with people outside the WeRoad group, except in certain cases for local experiences, which are specifically mentioned in the itinerary or communicated before booking. These typically involve specific nights in unique accommodations like tents, homestays, or camping, offering a more adventurous travel experience in exchange for some comfort.
During the booking process, you can also choose to opt for a mixed room: in this case, if needed, only those who have agreed to this option may share a room with travellers of a different sex. If you are booking for multiple people together and select this option, the room will not be exclusive to your group but may be shared with other travellers in the group.
When you set off on a WeRoad trip, you’re officially a WeRoader – and as we often say, 'Once a WeRoader, always a WeRoader'. This means that once you’re part of the community, a little piece of WeRoad will always stay with you, even if you no longer travel with us.
But you’re not just a WeRoader during your trips, far from it! The community is alive and active all year round: you can stay in touch by following and interacting on our social media channels, like the Facebook group or the Instagram profile. We can also meet up for a dinner or a trek together at one of the events organised by our coordinators around the world!
