If we were match-making months and countries, then Colombia and February would be up there as one of the most compatible pairings. With minimal rainfall, pleasant temperatures and smaller crowds, visiting Colombia in February is likely to spark a lasting romance. Take advantage of the sunnier skies by exploring Bogotá’s graffiti-peppered streets and Cartagena’s cobbled colonial centre. February’s climate also favours the more adventurous among us; Medellín invites avid mountain-bikers and white-water rafters, while Salento awaits those who are ready to lace up their walking boots and explore. If icing-sugar sand and foam-flecked ocean are more your thing, then head for the beaches of the Caribbean coast, where the February weather promises to be on its best behaviour.

"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)."

The end of February coincides with Colombia’s Carnival celebrations, making it one of the most exciting times to visit this dynamic South American nation. Barranquilla marks the heart of the festivities, and as an important cultural and folkloric celebration, the fiesta promises four days of salsa dancing, traditional music and kaleidoscopic costumes. The buzzing seaport boasts plenty of other treasures, including the Museo Romántico and the trendy El Prado neighbourhood, with its tree-lined streets and chic boutiques.


From here it’s only a short hop over to Cartagena – the UNESCO-designated jewel in the Caribbean coast’s crown – and given the pleasant temperatures that bless Colombia in February, you’ll have every opportunity to explore the colourful Old Town beneath clear blue skies. Falling outside of peak travel season, visiting Colombia in February has the added benefit of fewer tourists to compete with, so if you fancy discovering La Ciudad Perdida (The Lost City) in relative solitude, this is the time to do so. Teeming with adventurous activities and cultural stand-outs, our travel experts are on hand to help craft the perfect Colombia itinerary, and you’ll soon see why the country and month are a match made in heaven.
