Luxury Colombia Family Trips made for you

Luxurious and private family trips to Colombia

Incredible landscapes, small villages and captivating cities

On a family trip to Colombia, unforgettable experiences await all ages. Colombia is a diverse and energetic destination, packed with natural beauty, peppered with pretty small towns and home to a handful of alluring cities. The activities on offer in Colombia match its natural diversity, there’s so much to do. Embark on art, music, culinary and culture excursions, or set off on active adventures of hiking, biking, snorkelling and boating.

In Bogotá a visit to the Paloquemao Fruit Market is a must. Let your guide lead you around the stalls and small restaurants, pointing out the freshest Colombian fruit for you to taste. Watch the bustling flower vendors as they prepare colourful bouquets and then purchase your produce for a cooking experience in a private kitchen.

Your Colombia family trip could also see you travel towards the coast for a luxurious stay in a private villa in the tropical Tayrona National Park, surrounded by lush rainforests and pristine beaches. There’s more coastal fun in the pretty walled city of Cartagena where cobbled streets, narrow lanes, brightly coloured buildings and a fortress lend themselves to curious treasure hunts and history tours with enigmatic guides.

Head to the highlands to wander the cobbled streets of Barichara, an unbelievably charming town where your family can try their hand at pottery or papermaking, a fun and creative way to immerse yourselves in local traditions. In Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, you can stay in a remote private home, surrounded by cloud forests where hummingbirds visit regularly and you’ll have total flexibility with your daily activities.

Our passionate travel designers will craft the perfect luxury itinerary for your family, ensuring a balance of adventure, culture and relaxation. We will take care of all the details including accommodation, transfers and daily tours with our expert guides and caring hosts there to help you every step of the way.

A word from one of our experts

I love Colombia for families, it’s such a great place to create totally bespoke itineraries that can be active but also super laid back. There’s also lots of private villas to choose from which are a great addition to a family itinerary, having a stunning home all to yourself in the cloud forest is a very special experience.
