Colombia is an up-and-coming destination in South America that has something to offer everybody. With a diverse range of landscapes, from stunning beaches to the snow-capped Andes, you will be hard-pressed to find somewhere else in the world quite like it. That’s why creating a comprehensive Colombia itinerary is no easy feat—especially if you only have 2 weeks!
Sure, the country has a bad rap from the days of Colombian drug lords, but those times of needing to ask yourself “is it safe?” are mostly behind this country. It’s quickly modernizing and opening its arms to the world.
So, if you are looking for a culturally rich destination with a range of jaw-dropping scenery and sprawling cities, then look no further. Here’s how to spend 2 weeks in Colombia the right way.
How to Get Around Colombia
Colombia is a pretty big country, which means that getting around it can take some time. This is especially true because there are so many places to visit that are spread apart from one another.
That said, there are two easy ways of getting between major destinations in Colombia: bus and plane. And the good news is that plane prices are actually quite cheap. During our journey around Colombia, we found Avianca to be the most reliable and reasonably priced airline, which took us almost everywhere we wanted to go.
But if you have more time, the buses are even cheaper. You can use sites like Busbud to find buses to take you from Point A to Point B. Or you can go to any of the nearby bus stations and ask to see the schedules and prices — this is usually the most reliable way.
2 Weeks in Colombia Itinerary
Colombia is actually a huge and diverse country, and there is absolutely no way you can see everything here in just 2 weeks. The following itinerary is designed to take in some of the best that the country has to offer and to show you the highlights.
Although you can certainly cram more into a 2-week trip, I would not recommend it. It is far better to spend some quality time getting to know a destination than just ticking off “must-sees” and never truly experiencing the country.
Having said all that, let’s get started in the steamy Caribbean city of Cartagena to kick off your 2 weeks in Colombia!
