Colombia Undiscovered Tour


Guatape_Colombia.jpg

From chilly Bogotá to the hot and humid Pacific coast, this trip leads you through a variety of different climates. We only spend the first days in Bogotá, so don’t overpack warm clothes. We recommend packing some layers over super warm and junky items that take up a lot of space.

We will guide you through the items you need. If you just want to download this list as a PDF, you can do that here:

Clothes

Clothing-wise you won’t need to warm clothes for this trip, as we are mainly going to be in a warm or moderate climate. A hoodie and/or a thin jacket for chillier evenings can be useful. We recommend versatile clothing. A warmer maybe a bit oversized button-down, that can be a shirt, but also add some extra warmth as a jacket on top of a jumper or hoodie. If you have any questions, just shoot us a message and we are happy to help you. We know it can be hard to make a final decision.
