FLOWERS, COFFEE & SALSA
A vibrant journey through Colombia’s color, flavor, and rhythm
Get ready to fall in love with Colombia on this immersive 10-day adventure through three iconic cities: Medellín, Pereira, and Cali. This tour blends culture, nature, and music into one unforgettable experience.
🌸 In Medellín, known as the “City of Eternal Spring”, you’ll explore lush gardens, ride the famous Metrocable, and discover the community transformation in Moravia. Visit the flower-filled village of Santa Elena and learn about the traditional silleteros — the heart of the famous Feria de las Flores.
☕ Then head to the Coffee Region. In Pereira, you’ll walk among towering wax palms in the Cocora Valley, stroll through the charming towns of Salento and Filandia, and dive deep into Colombia’s coffee heritage with a full farm-to-cup experience.
💃 Finally, you’ll land in Cali, the salsa capital of the world. Take in the colonial architecture, meet local legends, and learn the city’s signature dance moves. Top it off with a dazzling live performance at the iconic Mulato Cabaret, where world champion dancers bring Latin music to life.
This tour is designed for travellers who want a little bit of everything: nature, culture, flavour, and rhythm — all wrapped in Colombia’s warm hospitality.
