Frequently asked questions about hotels in Colombia
What are the best landmarks to visit in Colombia?
Colombia boasts incredible landmarks! For history buffs, the walled city of Cartagena is a must-see, with its colourful colonial architecture and Castillo San Felipe de Barajas. In Bogotá, explore the Gold Museum showcasing pre-Columbian goldwork, and the Museo Botero with its collection of Fernando Botero's paintings. For natural beauty, Tayrona National Natural Park on the Caribbean coast offers stunning beaches and lush rainforest, while the coffee region's Salento provides breathtaking views of the Cocora Valley and its towering wax palm trees.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in Colombia?
So many things to do! A coffee tour in the Eje Cafetero is a classic, learning about the process from bean to cup. Hiking in Tayrona National Natural Park or Los Nevados National Natural Park offers incredible scenery. Exploring the vibrant street art scene in Bogotá is fascinating. For a relaxing experience, spend time on the beaches of Providencia Island or relax in a hammock in a charming town like Guatapé. And don't forget to take a salsa lesson!
The best time depends on where you're going. The Caribbean coast (Cartagena, Santa Marta) has warm weather year-round, but the rainy season runs from May to November. The coffee region has a milder climate, pleasant most of the year. Bogotá can be chilly, especially at night, so pack layers. Generally, December to April is considered the dry season across much of the country.
What are the best family friendly hotels in Colombia?
Which neighbourhoods or areas are best for spending a week in Colombia?
For a week, you could base yourself in Bogotá to explore its museums, vibrant nightlife, and surrounding areas like Zipaquirá's Salt Cathedral. Alternatively, spend a week exploring the Caribbean coast, splitting your time between Cartagena's historic centre and the beaches of Tayrona National Natural Park. The coffee region also offers charming towns like Salento and Filandia, perfect for a slower pace.
What are the best pet friendly hotels in Colombia?
Which parts of Colombia are perfect for a weekend getaway?
For a quick trip, Cartagena is ideal, offering colonial charm, stunning beaches, and delicious food. Guatapé, with its colourful houses and El Peñol rock, is another excellent option, easily accessible from Medellín. A weekend in the coffee region might be a bit rushed, but a visit to Salento and the Cocora Valley is certainly memorable.
What are the best hotels with jacuzzi in Colombia?
Is renting a car recommended for exploring Colombia?
Renting a car can be convenient in some areas, particularly for exploring the coffee region or travelling between cities. However, driving in larger cities like Bogotá can be challenging. Public transport is generally good, and buses are a cost-effective way to travel between many destinations. Consider your itinerary and comfort level with driving in unfamiliar conditions before deciding.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Colombia?
Credit cards are becoming increasingly accepted in larger cities and tourist areas, but it's always wise to have some Colombian pesos on hand, especially in smaller towns and for smaller purchases. Many smaller businesses prefer cash.
What are the largest airports in Colombia?
El Dorado International Airport (BOG) in Bogotá is the largest and busiest airport. José María Córdova International Airport (MDE) in Medellín is another major airport serving international flights.
Are there any unwritten rules of behaviour visitors should know about Colombia?
Colombians are generally warm and welcoming. Learning a few basic Spanish phrases is appreciated. It's polite to greet people with a handshake or a kiss on the cheek (depending on the relationship). Punctuality isn't always strictly observed, and things may run a bit behind schedule. Be respectful of local customs and traditions.
What local specialties should you try in Colombia?
You must try bandeja paisa (a hearty platter of beans, rice, meat, and more), arepas (corn cakes), empanadas (savoury pastries), and ajiaco (a chicken and potato soup). Fresh fruit juices are abundant and delicious. Don't forget to sample the local coffee!
Where are the best shopping spots in Colombia?
Bogotá offers a range of shopping experiences, from high-end boutiques to bustling markets like La Macarena. Cartagena's walled city has many artisan shops and boutiques selling handicrafts. In smaller towns, you'll find local markets selling unique crafts and souvenirs.
What signature events or festivals take place in Colombia?
Colombia has many vibrant festivals! The Carnaval de Barranquilla is a massive celebration of music, dance, and culture. The Feria de Cali is another major event, showcasing salsa dancing and parades. Many towns and cities also host smaller religious festivals throughout the year.
What’s the best place in Colombia for mild and comfortable weather?
The coffee region offers consistently mild and comfortable temperatures throughout the year, making it ideal for those seeking pleasant weather. Towns like Salento and Filandia provide a perfect balance of warmth and coolness.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Colombia?
Common mistakes include not exchanging currency before arrival, not learning basic Spanish phrases, and not being aware of the altitude in Bogotá (it can cause altitude sickness). It's also important to be aware of your surroundings and take precautions against petty theft, especially in crowded areas.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Colombia?
The island of Providencia offers stunning beaches and a laid-back atmosphere, less crowded than other Caribbean destinations. The Lost City trek is a challenging but rewarding adventure through the Sierra Nevada mountains. The charming town of Barichara in Santander is known for its colonial architecture and peaceful atmosphere.
