Colombia Off the Beaten Tracks

If you haven't had enough visiting our 14 highlight destinations or just want to go on the less visited routes of Colombia, explore our off-the-beaten-tracks destinations. Usually difficult to get to, these places are beautiful and offer an authentic travelling experience.

If you are going to the Caribbean Coast, marvel at giant sand dunes falling into the sea in Punta Gallinas. On your way back, rest in Palomino before going to the Lost City (Ciudad Perdida), a trek combining jungle, crystal waters and the forgotten civilization of the Tayronas.

Heading to the Coffee Region, visit Jardin to get a real sense of the Antioquian countryside or go uphill and touch snow at Los Nevados National Park.

East of Colombia, rise from the jungle on the Cerros de Mavecure or discover the untouched San Jose del Guaviare with its red river.

South of Colombia, jump on a train cart powered by a motorcycle to visit the black community of San Cipriano, or enjoy the Tuesday market in Silvia and meet the Guambianos community.

And for an off-the-beaten-track version of Cartagena, head to Mompox, a world-heritage sleeping beauty by the majestic Magdalena River.

Finally, if you have the budget, sail or fly to Providencia, the second island of the San Andres archipelago, a paradise alongside the 3rd largest reef in the world!
