Frequently asked questions about hotels in Colombia
What are the best landmarks to visit in Colombia?
For iconic landmarks, you've got to see the Zona T in Bogotá, a vibrant area with modern architecture and upscale shops. In Cartagena, the Castillo San Felipe de Barajas is a must-see fortress offering stunning views, while the colourful streets of the Getsemaní neighbourhood are captivating. For something different, consider the Ciudad Perdida (Lost City) trek, a challenging but rewarding journey through the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountains. Finally, don't miss the coffee region's beautiful landscapes, particularly the Salento Cocora Valley with its towering wax palm trees.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in Colombia?
Colombia offers diverse activities. Explore the coffee plantations near Salento and learn about the coffee-making process. Take a salsa lesson in Cali, known as the salsa capital. Hike to the stunning Ciudad Perdida, a pre-Columbian archaeological site. Relax on the beaches of Tayrona National Park. Visit the vibrant city of Medellín, taking a cable car ride up to Comuna 13 for incredible street art and community spirit. And, of course, sample the delicious local cuisine.
The best time to visit depends on your priorities. December to March is generally dry season in most areas, ideal for exploring and hiking. However, this is also peak tourist season, with higher prices. June to August is a good alternative, with pleasant weather and fewer crowds, though there's a higher chance of rain.
What are the best family friendly hotels in Colombia?
Which neighbourhoods or areas are best for spending a week in Colombia?
For a week, consider basing yourself in Medellín, allowing you to explore the city, take day trips to nearby coffee farms, and experience the vibrant nightlife. Alternatively, Cartagena offers a charming historic centre, beautiful beaches, and opportunities for island hopping. Bogotá is a good choice for a cultural immersion, with museums, historical sites, and a lively food scene. Each location provides a unique Colombian experience.
What are the best pet friendly hotels in Colombia?
Which parts of Colombia are perfect for a weekend getaway?
For a quick trip, consider exploring the coffee region around Salento, with its stunning landscapes and easy access to coffee plantations. Alternatively, a weekend in Cartagena allows you to explore the historic city centre and enjoy the Caribbean atmosphere. Medellín offers a vibrant city experience, with plenty to see and do in a shorter timeframe.
What are the best hotels with jacuzzi in Colombia?
Is renting a car recommended for exploring Colombia?
Renting a car isn't always recommended, especially outside of major cities. Public transport is often readily available and more convenient, particularly in urban areas. For exploring specific regions, organised tours can be a safer and more efficient option. However, for independent exploration of certain areas, a 4x4 vehicle might be necessary.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Colombia?
Credit cards are increasingly accepted in larger cities and tourist areas, but it's always wise to carry some Colombian pesos, especially in smaller towns and rural areas. Many smaller businesses and street vendors prefer cash transactions.
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 and Rafael Núñez International Airport (CTG) in Cartagena are also major international airports.
Are there any unwritten rules of behaviour visitors should know about Colombia?
Colombians are generally warm and welcoming, but it's polite to greet people with a handshake or a kiss on the cheek (depending on the relationship). Learning a few basic Spanish phrases is appreciated. It's also customary to be punctual for appointments and to avoid loud or boisterous behaviour in public places.
What local specialties should you try in Colombia?
You absolutely 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). For something sweet, try obleas (thin wafers) and almojábanas (cheese bread). And don't forget the delicious Colombian coffee!
Where are the best shopping spots in Colombia?
Bogotá's Zona T offers high-end boutiques and international brands. For handicrafts and souvenirs, explore the artisan markets in smaller towns and cities like Zipaquirá. Cartagena's Getsemaní neighbourhood has a vibrant street market scene. Medellín's El Poblado neighbourhood features a mix of local and international shops.
What signature events or festivals take place in Colombia?
The Carnaval de Barranquilla is a massive celebration of music, dance, and culture. The Feria de las Flores in Medellín is a vibrant flower festival. The Festival de Música del Pacífico Petronio Álvarez showcases traditional music from the Pacific coast.
What’s the best place in Colombia for mild and comfortable weather?
The coffee region, particularly around Salento, offers consistently mild temperatures throughout the year, making it ideal for those seeking comfortable weather.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Colombia?
Common mistakes include not exchanging currency beforehand, not learning basic Spanish phrases, and underestimating travel times between cities. It's also important to be aware of your surroundings and take necessary precautions against petty theft, especially in crowded areas.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Colombia?
Consider visiting the charming town of Guatapé with its colourful houses and El Peñol rock. The Tatacoa Desert offers unique landscapes and stargazing opportunities. The island of Providencia in the Caribbean offers stunning beaches and a laid-back atmosphere, relatively less-visited than other Caribbean islands.
