Overview
Head into Colombia's famed coffee region on this 15-day adventure and learn how to roast the perfect blend during a tour of a working coffee plantation. Discover the laidback pace of Salento and explore the nightlife of Medellin, then trade the country's lush interior for its coast. Explore Santa Marta and the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Cartagena, then begin your adventure to the ancient site of the Lost City of Teyuna. Situated in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountains, this site can only be reached by a guided multi-day trek. Meet local indigenous leaders, sleep in mountain campsites away from the hustle and bustle of modern life and spend four days hiking through rainforest and jungle to this sacred site.
