Why it's time to go to Colombia now!
Back in the 1990s, many conversations about Colombia began with concerns around safety. We understand that perception then - and we understand it still today. Perceptions take time to evolve.
But the reality of Colombia now is very different. It is no longer a destination simply trying to be discovered; it is a country confidently stepping onto the world stage as a serious choice for the curious, inquisitive traveller. The kind of traveller who wants to be ahead of the curve - discovering places before they become mainstream, before the mass tourism and destroys some of the charm.
Of course, like anywhere in the world, there are areas that are best avoided. That is precisely where experience matters. The strongest journeys are not just designed - they are carefully curated through deep local knowledge, practical expertise, and trusted relationships on the ground.
At Amaco, we don’t simply sell small group tours & conferences we live and breathe them. Each itinerary takes nearly two years of research, planning, and refinement before it is shared. We personally meet our Colombian partners, stay in the hotels, dine in the restaurants, walk the experiences, and work closely with guides to ensure every element meets our standards of quality, safety, and authenticity.
As is our Amaco Gold Standard, from the moment you land in Colombia, you are not alone. An Amaco host is there to welcome you, and from that moment onward, you are in safe hands - think of it as your own personal travel concierge throughout your journey.
And what a journey it is.
Colombia is one of the most biodiverse countries on earth, lush cloud forests, Caribbean coastlines, and rolling coffee highlands. We move from one to the other with ease discovering the layers of the country.
Culturally, it is equally extraordinary. Wander through the colourful colonial streets of Cartagena, explore the creative energy of Medellín, or immerse yourself in Bogotá’s world-class museums and evolving culinary scene. In the coffee region, time slows among emerald-green plantations and family-run fincas, while indigenous traditions and Afro-Caribbean heritage add rich layers to the country’s identity.
The Amaco Landscapes of Colombia Small Group Tour & Conference has been designed to bring all of this together - safely, seamlessly, and meaningfully. It is not just a journey through a destination; it is an invitation to experience Colombia at its most authentic, vibrant, and inspiring.
This is Colombia - complex, beautiful, and ready to be discovered properly. If you’re sitting on the fence now’s the time to take the leap. For more info visit our website or give us a call on 1300 668 149 for a special offer.
