EMBRACE THE DIVERSITY OF COLOMBIA

It's easy to forgot just how diverse Colombia is. From the Caribbean vibes and colonial treasures of Cartagena to the misty forests of the Corcora Valley, to the barrios of urban capital Bogotá, there's so much variety here. Abercrombie & Kent's Classic Colombia tour ticks off one favourite after another, but also spares time for some interesting detours as you stroll the peaceful streets of Guatapé, its old houses marked by intricate bas reliefs, or snorkel the coral-fringed waters of the Rosario Islands. Added to this are visits to giant coffee plantations, delicious street food tours and a trip to a remarkable underground cathedral in a salt mine. Abercrombie & Kent (abercrombiekent.co.uk). Year-round (best Dec-Apr); 10 nights from £4,450pp, including international flights.
