An indigenous site in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Beyond the secrets of this ancient settlement, what makes it a real experience for the visitor is getting there. Crossing the jungle, sleeping in the camps of indigenous communities, crossing rivers and spotting exotic birds are some of the adventures that lead to our goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The way to get to Ciudad Perdida is in itself the joy of this trip. It is a trek of 4 to 6 days. To do the trek you should have some experience in hiking and mountain climbing. On many occasions the terrain is uneven and even crosses rivers. The prices of the tourist plans that organise the visit to Ciudad Perdida are usually around 1.200.000 COP per person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"683\" width=\"1024\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ciudad-perdida-colombia-1024x683.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"ciudad perdida colombia travel\" class=\"wp-image-17767\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ciudad Perdida, Colombia travel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Guatape\"><\/span>2.

The <strong>tour<\/strong> lasts approximately <strong>two and a half hours<\/strong>, depending on your pace and how many times you want to stop and take pictures of what&#8217;s around you.

It is located 45km from Neiva and a stone&#8217;s throw from the municipality of Villavieja and is the second largest arid zone in Colombia after La Guajira.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is famous for its 20-metre formations in the reddish terrain that clash spectacularly with the almost lunar grey desert landscape. The Tatacoa Desert is also known for being one of the best places on the planet for stargazing. For this reason, it has up to 3 astronomical observatories that offer talks every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"501\" data-attachment-id=\"17813\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/colombia\/tatacoa-desert-colombia\/attachment\/tatacoa-desert-colombia-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tatacoa-desert-colombia.jpeg?fit=1024%2C501&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,501\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"tatacoa-desert-colombia\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Tatacoa desert&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tatacoa-desert-colombia.jpeg?fit=300%2C147&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tatacoa-desert-colombia.jpeg?fit=1024%2C501&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tatacoa-desert-colombia.jpeg?resize=1024%2C501&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Tatacoa desert colombia travel\" class=\"wp-image-17813\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tatacoa-desert-colombia.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tatacoa-desert-colombia.jpeg?resize=300%2C147&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tatacoa-desert-colombia.jpeg?resize=768%2C376&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tatacoa Desert @Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-The-Cocora-Valley-and-Salento\"><\/span>5.

More precisely, in the town of Salento, 30km from Armenia, one of the key points of the Eje Cafetero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cocora Valley has a great diversity of flora and fauna. In fact, one of the main attractions of this park are its <strong>enormous Quind\u00edo Wax Palms, the tallest in the world and also Colombia&#8217;s national tree<\/strong>. If you are a nature lover, a trip to the Cocora Valley is one of the essential things to do in Colombia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for <strong>Salento<\/strong>, we recommend losing yourself in its colourful streets and discovering its most symbolic places. A good example is the <strong>Plaza de Sim\u00f3n Bol\u00edvar<\/strong>, where all the life of the city takes place. You can also find <strong>Calle Real<\/strong>, with shops selling authentic Colombian coffee, as well as all kinds of other shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images

Also in this square is one of the city&#8217;s most iconic palaces, the <strong>Palace of Culture Rafael Uribe Uribe<\/strong>. It is a Gothic building declared a National Monument for the beauty of its fa\u00e7ade and its halls and corridors. In this square there is also the <strong>Museum of Antioquia<\/strong>,  located inside the beautiful old art-deco Municipal Palace. Without leaving this area, which is the heart of Medell\u00edn, we find Berr\u00edo Park.

Cartagena, one of Colombia&#8217;s most charming cities<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This beautiful colonial city on the shores of the Caribbean Sea is one of Colombia&#8217;s greatest charms. Cartagena radiates light and colour wherever you look, whether in the beautiful streets of its historic centre or in the paradisiacal islands just a few kilometres away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On your visit to Cartagena you cannot miss a beautiful walk through the Walled City, its historic centre. As you might have guessed, it is surrounded by a wall that includes the Centro and San Diego neighbourhoods. Here you can feast your eyes on the <strong>Cathedral of Santa Catalina de Alejandr\u00eda<\/strong>, one of the oldest and most beautiful cathedrals in America, with its yellow and salmon colours. Also in the Walled City you can see the <strong>Clock Tower<\/strong>, a vivid yellow tower that crowns the old main entrance to the city and now leads to the <strong>Plaza de los Coches<\/strong>. On the other side of this entrance is the <strong>Barrio de Getseman\u00ed<\/strong>, where low white houses with coloured shutters mingle with beautiful street art murals and craft shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, in this Caribbean city you can&#8217;t miss its beaches. They look like the typical postcard images of Caribbean beaches.<strong> Playa Blanca, Castillogrande, Boquilla or the Rosario Islands<\/strong> are just a few examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

Some important places to see in this Colombian city are the <strong>Botanical Gardens, <\/strong>the<strong> Plaza de Bolivar, <\/strong>the<strong> Gold Museum <\/strong>and the<strong> Parque de la Vida.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8-Pereira\"><\/span>8. Pereira<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like Armenia, Pereira is one of the most important stops on the Eje Cafetero. Its<strong> green landscape<\/strong>, friendly people and <strong>coffee<\/strong> are reason enough to pay a visit to the capital of the region of Risaralda. Here you can enjoy visits to <strong>coffee farms<\/strong>, visit the<strong> Nevados National Park <\/strong>and unwind in the <strong>Santa Rosa de Cabal thermal baths<\/strong>, 15km from Pereira.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9-Neiva\"><\/span>9. Neiva<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This tropical city is the capital of the region of Huila and one of Colombia&#8217;s main tourist destinations. One of the city&#8217;s attractions is the <strong>La Gaitana Monument<\/strong>, a sculpture dedicated to an indigenous heroine who fought against the Spanish colonists, as well as the<strong> Torre del Moh\u00e1n viewpoint<\/strong> and the <strong>Central Santander Park<\/strong>. As for the architectural landmarks of the city, it is important to highlight the <strong>Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception of Neiva <\/strong>and the <strong>Colonial Temple<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another reason that will convince you to visit Neiva is that its strategic location near wonderful natural sites. From here you can reach the <strong>Tatacoa Desert<\/strong>, the <strong>Rivera Hot Springs <\/strong>and the <strong>Bordones de Huila waterfall<\/strong> by bus, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10-Santa-Marta\"><\/span>10. Santa Marta<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This Caribbean city, the oldest in the subcontinent, perfectly combines cultural tradition and nature. Here we can enjoy impressive architectural monuments such as the <strong>Cathedral Basilica of Santa Marta <\/strong>and the <strong>Casa de la Aduana<\/strong>, home to the Tayrona Gold Museum and the first building erected in America by the Spaniards. We also find impressive natural sites such as the <strong>Rodadero<\/strong> beach and the <strong>Tayrona Park<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-attachment-id=\"17695\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/colombia\/things-to-do-in-santa-marta\/attachment\/cathedral-of-santa-marta-colombia\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/cathedral-of-santa-marta-colombia.jpg?fit=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,682\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"cathedral-of-santa-marta-colombia\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/cathedral-of-santa-marta-colombia.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/cathedral-of-santa-marta-colombia.jpg?fit=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/cathedral-of-santa-marta-colombia.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"things to do in Santa Marta cathedral colombia\" class=\"wp-image-17695\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/cathedral-of-santa-marta-colombia.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/cathedral-of-santa-marta-colombia.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/cathedral-of-santa-marta-colombia.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote alignwide\"><blockquote><p>Check out our post <a href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/colombia\/things-to-do-in-santa-marta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Things to do in Santa Marta, Colombia<\/a> for more recommendations.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11-Valledupar\"><\/span>11.

In city centres you should be careful with your personal belongings, but no more so than in any European city - pickpockets are everywhere. If you need to get around by car, we suggest using Uber or other apps such as Libre Taxi. Find out which areas and neighbourhoods of cities are most dangerous, especially at night. If you decide to travel through mountainous areas, check which areas are high-risk before you decide to go, such as the regions of Meta, Guaviare, Casanare and Caquet\u00e1.","inLanguage":"en-US"},"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Question","@id":"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/colombia\/things-to-do-in-colombia\/#faq-question-1637843735808","position":2,"url":"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/colombia\/things-to-do-in-colombia\/#faq-question-1637843735808","name":"Is travelling to Colombia cheap?","answerCount":1,"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Travel to Colombia can be considered relatively inexpensive. The most expensive part is the airfare - the average round-trip is over \u20ac700, but it all depends on the dates you decide to go. Once you're there, the price of accommodation is inexpensive by European standards. The average price of a hotel room in Colombia is no more than \u20ac30.
