Looking for something a little different for your next getaway? Colombia should be on your radar.
I’ve just returned from an incredible week exploring Cartagena and Barú with Transat, and this is a destination that genuinely surprised me.
Cartagena for the history, culture, colourful streets, shopping and energy.
Barú for a completely different vibe, beautiful beaches, a slower pace and the perfect place to relax and enjoy the Caribbean Sea.
Throughout the week, we stayed at three different resorts and visited several others, giving me the opportunity to experience the destination from a travel advisor’s perspective and see firsthand what might work for different types of travellers.
But what really makes Colombia special goes far beyond the resorts. It’s the food, the people, the history, the culture and the experiences that make you want to discover more.
If you’ve done the traditional Caribbean vacation and you’re looking for somewhere that offers beautiful beaches AND culture, history and adventure, Colombia might just be your next destination.
I came home with a whole new appreciation for Colombia and excited to help my clients discover it for themselves.
