Full payment is required when you reserve. In this trip we will start from the sea level, exploring Cartagena des Indias, and making daily excursions to the Rosario Islands and Totumo Volcano (this one is optional, it means you can decide before reserving the travel if you want participate or not, the cost is not included). In the second part we will move by domestic flight to Medellin, exploring the city, its tragic history, its point of views and we will have an excursion to the beautiful Guatapé lands. Than, the third part of our journeys will bring us to the Eje Cafetero lands, in our case to Salento and the Cocora Valley, where we will also visit a coffee farm.
