A cultural journey from Medellín to the Caribbean, shaped by place, people, and perspective.

OCTOBER / DECEMBER 2026 (based on demand)

8 NIGHTS

Colombia reveals itself through contrast. In the span of just a few days, the country moves from vibrant city life to lush landscapes, from mountain air to Caribbean warmth. This eight-day journey is designed to showcase Colombia’s diversity through a thoughtful progression of destinations, each offering a distinct sense of place.

Beginning in Medellín, travelers are welcomed into a city defined by creativity, resilience, and transformation. From immersive explorations of Comuna 13 to the colorful landscapes of Guatapé and El Peñol, the journey blends cultural context with moments of natural beauty. Time here is layered with intention, allowing for both guided discovery and space to absorb the rhythm of daily life.

As the journey continues into the Coffee Region, the pace softens. Rolling hills, towering wax palms, and quiet countryside set the tone for a deeper connection to Colombia’s agricultural heart. Staying at thoughtfully chosen properties such as Bio Habitat Hotel, guests experience the region through scenic drives, local encounters, and time spent immersed in the landscapes that define this part of the country.

The final chapter unfolds in Cartagena de Indias, where history, color, and coastal energy converge. Wandering the streets of Getsemaní, experiencing local cuisine, and engaging with the sounds and stories of the city offers a rich and sensory conclusion to the journey. A private boat excursion to the Rosario Islands provides a final contrast, trading city streets for turquoise waters and quiet moments by the sea.

Throughout the experience, accommodations are carefully selected to reflect each destination’s character, from boutique stays in Medellín to refined retreats in Guatapé, the Coffee Region, and Cartagena. Properties including 23 Hotel, The Brown Guatapé, Bio Habitat Hotel, and OSH Hotel Getsemaní serve as anchors along the way, offering comfort, design, and a sense of place.

This Colombia journey reflects the Élevé approach to travel design: immersive without being rushed, curated without feeling scripted. It is an experience shaped by thoughtful transitions, meaningful encounters, and a flow that allows each destination to reveal itself naturally, leaving travelers with a deeper understanding of Colombia long after the journey ends.
