Colombia
Aside from the Caribbean, Colombia shares borders with Brazil, Venezuela, Peru and Ecuador and, as such, will add a distinctive South American flavour to your Caribbean cruise.
After a decade of political stability Colombia has become steadily more popular as a tourist destination and remains a popular port of call on many a Caribbean cruise itinerary. The climate is diverse but most of the country is decidedly tropical. For the most part Cartagena enjoys a balmy year-round climate, perfect for sightseeing!
And, there's plenty to see. Cartagena was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984, due to the city’s renowned fortified walls, which date back to the 1700’s. Colombia’s rich diversity and colonial heritage is also expressed in the city's graceful architecture. Take a stroll through the Parque Nacional Tayrona to experience Colombia’s extraordinaryily rich biodiversity.
Once you have finished strolling the walled streets and picturesque courtyards of Cartagena or maybe having taken advantage of our many excellent excursions, why not finish your day shopping for typical Colombian souvenirs? Colombian coffee makes a great gift, as do woven ‘ruanas’ or coloured ponchos and handcrafted leather bags.
