One of Butterfield’s active expeditions, Colombia Undiscovered explores the scenery, culture and cuisine of Colombia on a guided journey from Bogotá to Cartagena. Designed for a recreational fitness level, the itinerary allows plenty of time to slow down and absorb the cloud forests, vibrant cities and coffee plantations that define this diverse country. The seven-day, six-night departure (Dec. 17–23) includes a visit to Medellín for a walking tour and a look at the artwork in Botero Plaza, plus a cycling outing through Santa Elena’s flower farms.
In the Quindío region, travelers can hike through ancient forest alongside a biologist, join Ciclovía with Chef Tomás Rueda of Donostia restaurant, and uncover Cartagena’s best-kept secrets. In Cartagena, explore one of South America’s most beautifully preserved collections of colonial architecture, wander the historic quarter and experience the city’s arts and history through curated gallery and museum visits.
