When to go on a Colombia Trip

Choosing the best time to visit Colombia largely depends on your preferences and the activities you're interested in. Generally, the dry seasons, from December to March and then again from July to August, are ideal for exploring the diverse landscapes, from Andean hikes to Caribbean beaches, with favourable weather conditions for outdoor activities and a vibrant lineup of cultural festivals. The wetter months, April to June and September to November, offer their own charm with lush, vibrant scenery, fewer tourists, and often more attractive travel prices. Each season in Colombia presents a unique experience, whether it's the lively festivities and clear skies of the dry months or the tranquil, fertile landscapes and cultural events of the rainy season.
Colombia is a year-round destination, but for sunshine and dry weather, December to March is great for exploring Bogotá, Medellín, and the Caribbean coast. It’s also peak season, so expect crowds and higher prices. For fewer tourists, try July to early September, when the Andes and Amazon are drier. Wildlife lovers should visit between July and November for humpback whales, while Caño Cristales’ famous colors shine brightest in the same months. Just remember: Colombia’s climate varies, so pack accordingly! "
