Colombia can always be relied upon for heart-thumping adventure. The country is, in parts, hardcore and intimidating, but it’s intent on scrubbing itself up and reeling you in away from its crime-ridden reputation. And whilst some areas must be avoided, Colombia family holidays have got intrepid written all over them. Bold travellers machete through jungle and snooze in hammocks on a trip towards Ciudad Perdida (the 'Lost City'), hidden in the dark depths of the rainforest; pretty Cartagena buzzes with live music and a go-slow attitude; and the beaches of Tayrona National Park urge beach camping and turtle watching. There are misty volcanoes to explore, intriguing wildlife to search out and Caribbean-ebbed beaches to laze on. Family-friendly hotels seal the deal with many offering the full package from extra beds and children’s clubs to all the kiddie paraphernalia you’ll ever need.

"Our trip felt seamless - well done! Our consultant was excellent and went above-and-beyond to create a trip that perfectly suited us. Our Colombia holiday was well paced, and we experienced tremendous contrasts and lots of interest. There were so many highlights! Colombia is an extraordinary place to visit. Communication throughout was excellent and timely. The Concierge was diligent, regularly communicated, proactive, helpful and friendly. The mobile router particularly was also very useful."

"We have been really happy with your team and you would be my first choice another time. You were great at adapting the itinerary and trying to satisfy exactly what we needed. I also found the in-country concierges really helpful, as well as the app (especially the maps)."
