Where to go in Caribbean Coast

Entirely, completely and unapologetically Colombian, the Caribbean Coast stretches for 1,100 rhythmic and flavourful miles from Panama to Venezuela. Monkey-filled mountains and jungles compete for your attention with kaleidoscopic reefs and sandy coves, and that’s even before you’ve reached Cartagena with its restaurants, art galleries and rainbow-hued buildings that are as colourful as the chilli-hot vibes. The coast is defined by the colour and music of the Afro-Caribbean culture and Barranquilla is a hotspot for music and dance, whilst the Lost City of Sierra Nevada is all about ancient archaeological wonders and insights into the country’s pre-colonial history. In Palomino, sink into the low-key, fishing-village atmosphere, then head to the Rosario Islands, blissful, reef-ringed atolls, to snorkel in the clearest waters. And then there’s Tayrona National Park, one of the most popular destinations in Colombia for both locals and visitors – and with very good reason. Known for its stunning ecosystems, the beaches are beautiful, the wildlife is fascinating and the hiking is adventurous.

Cartagena

A bombastic city on the Caribbean Coast where history colours every structure & street.
A vibrant city where deep-reaching history mingles with a buzzing, modern energy. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, its Old Town is a maze of cobbled alleys, turmeric-bright houses with bougainvillea-filled balconies and grand churches. Whether you're looking for a luxury hotel with ocean views or a quaint guesthouse right in the centre of things, Cartagena caters to all tastes. Besides exploring the city's rich heritage, there are art galleries to peruse and plenty of time to tuck into local favourites like mojarra and coconut rice, and a slice of tres leches for dessert.

Barú, Rosario & Tierra Bomba Islands

Off the coast of Cartagena lies a collection of protected islands to rival those of your dreams.
Just an hour across the sea from the bustling city of Cartagena, the Rosario Islands are a sanctuary of blinding, sugary beaches, azure waters and vibrant coral reefs. Rosario is actually a collection of 27 islands, each offering a unique blend of natural, unsullied beauty and rustic charm. They range from tiny, uninhabited atolls to larger islands dotted with beach resorts. Expect your days to involve snorkelling in the coral-rich waters, lounging on sun-drenched beaches, or exploring the island's unique ecosystems. Top off your experience with a freshly caught and grilled lobster from one of the beachside shacks.
