What's this trip about?

    Ten million make their home in vibrant, exciting, and sprawling Bogotá. The energy of this metropolitan hub of Colombia is fuelled in part by the diversity of its people from all regions of the country. There is energy rarely found anywhere. The city's cultural epicenter is La Candelaria, the cobbled historic downtown. Here, a potpourri of thoughtfully preserved colonial buildings is home to museums, restaurants, hotels, and bars, amid centuries-old houses, churches, and monasteries. The abundance of Colombia is manifested in the Eje Cafetero (Coffee Axis) with countless parks, botanical gardens, hot springs, and even snow-capped mountains. Travel through towns such as Santuario, Quimbaya, Montenegro, Aguadas, and Pijao and you will want to prolong your stay. Coffee abounds in this region. The warmth,simplicity, and nobility of its people can be found in every street. Cartagena is an unmissable city to visit and without a doubt Colombia´s most popular. Thanks not only to its colonial roots but also to beautiful beaches, tantalizing cuisine, and raucous nightlife. The Taironaka Reserve is an archaeological and ecological paradise where lie the remains of a Tayrona city over 1,000 years old. In the midst of colossal trees, a mild climate, and abundant fauna, Taironaka is an idyllic place where the sound of water, jungle, and the song of the birds make it the perfect place to uncoil.

View Profile

BnB Colombia Tours was created to share Colombia's amazing country with the world. Our founder (Bruce McLean) first fell in love with Colombia (and a girl from the Coffee Zone) back in 2009 while visiting his sister in Bogotá. Spending 3 short months traveling through this country, and with limited Spanish, he found it difficult to find English-speaking guides, and so the first thoughts of BnB Colombia Tours were born. Fast forward to the present day, and BnB Colombia Tours is now providing private and group tours in English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, and Dutch throughout Colombia. With BnB Colombia Tours you can explore almost every destination in Colombia knowing that you’ll be in safe hands with local bilingual guides, reliable transport, and destination experts helping you through every step of your experience. From the very first moment you make contact, and begin the planning of your journey until you’re safely back home, the multi-cultural, international team will be available for every second of your Colombian journey.
