Eight days, two very different Colombian cities. Cartagena is Caribbean color, fortresses and sea breezes. Medellín is mountains, murals and a food scene that keeps getting better.
It's a small-group trip with your Soca Islands Host, balanced between guided experiences, free afternoons and nights out, with a crew you'll be glad to have met.

Itinéraire du groupe
Arrive in Cartagena and see for yourself why the city draws visitors from all over the world.
Your hotel is in one of the city's most fashionable neighborhoods. Once you're settled, meet the group for drinks on a rooftop above the streets.
Afterwards, head out for your first dinner together.
A guide leads you through the old walled city, with its colonial facades, and on to the San Felipe Fortress.
Next, grab a drum at a community music school and learn the rhythms that power Cartagena.
Then it's out to La Boquilla, a seaside neighborhood, for a seafood lunch before you slide into a volcanic mud bath. Messy, silly and oddly relaxing.
Your evening is free.
After breakfast, a private boat takes you across the Caribbean to the Rosario Islands.
Snorkel over the reef, spot traces of the area's history and kick back at a beach club with food, drinks and sunshine.
Back in Cartagena by afternoon, you're free to explore the old town after dark.
The morning is yours to browse Cartagena's busy markets for crafts and souvenirs.
In the evening, local instructors lead a salsa class, the best way to understand how much dancing matters here.
Then share dinner and a Colombian rum tasting to toast your last night on the coast.
Travel to Medellín, set in a green valley in the Andes and known for its creativity and reinvention.
Once you've checked in and rested, the group heads to dinner at a stylish restaurant serving modern Colombian food. After that, go out or turn in, your call.
Explore one of Medellín's hillside neighborhoods with a local guide, discovering how art, innovation and community spirit have changed it.
The afternoon is free for a long lunch, café hopping or more of the city.
Head into the hills outside Medellín to a family-run coffee farm, see how coffee goes from bean to cup, and taste a fresh brew at the source.
Back in town, the afternoon is yours for museums, neighborhoods or a rest.
Tonight, the group gets together one more time for a farewell dinner.
Your trip wraps up today. Say goodbye to the group and head home or on to your next stop.
You'll leave with the salt of Cartagena, the energy of Medellín and new friends to show for it.

FAQ du voyage
Fly into Bogotá's El Dorado International Airport (BOG), and out of Medellín's José María Córdova International Airport (MDE).
Yes. If you arrive on Day 1 of your adventure or book pre-tour accommodation with us, your airport arrival transfer is included. If you choose alternative pre-tour accommodation or arrive by another mode of transport, you’ll need to arrange your own arrival transfer.
Our arrival transfers are private to Soca Islands and are organised in groups based on flight times. Sometimes this means a short wait at the airport until other flights arrive.
There are no scheduled activities on the final day, so feel free to book your departure at your own convenience.
We recommend arriving before 3 pm on Day 1 to make it in time for the welcome event. But don’t worry no matter when you land, we’ll have an airport transfer ready for you.
Please Refer to your government’s travel advice or consult your local consulate. Remember, passport and visa requirements can change, so make sure to stay updated.
Excluding alcohol, we suggest budgeting around USD $40.00 per day for extras.
While we’re not medical professionals, we want to help you prepare for a safe and healthy adventure. Here are some tips:
- Consult with a healthcare professional: Schedule an appointment with your travel nurse or doctor at least eight weeks before your adventure to get any necessary vaccines or medications.
- Up-to-date medical advice:
- US residents: Check the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.
- UK residents: Visit the NHS Fit For Travel website.
- Australian residents: Refer to the Smart Traveler Health website.
3. Government travel advice:
- US residents: Consult the US Department of State Travel Advice.
- UK residents: Check the FCDO Travel Advice.
- Australian residents: Visit the Smart Traveler website.
4. Medication tips: If you take prescription medication, bring enough to last the entire trip, plus a few extra days in case of delays. Carry a copy of your prescription in case you need to visit a clinic abroad.
We hope this helps you prepare for a safe and enjoyable adventure.
Please keep in mind that our itinerary, activities, and hotels might change. These adjustments could happen with little notice due to factors like availability, weather conditions, seasonal shifts, or other circumstances beyond our control. Rest assured, we always aim to minimise any impact on your experience. Occasionally, we may tweak the itinerary to try out fresh ideas and keep the adventure exciting.
We believe solo travelers shouldn’t have to pay extra to explore the world. That’s why our group trips are designed around shared accommodation and do not include a single supplement. Solo travelers joining our group trips are paired in twin or multi-share rooms with another traveler of the same sex for the duration of the trip.
Some of our Independent trips are structured differently. For these itineraries, solo travelers will need to book at the single occupancy rate.
Tips are not included in the cost of this tour. Remember, tipping is entirely at your discretion and based on what you feel comfortable with.
