Planning a Colombia vacation? Ingrid Vultorius, our Head of South America, shares why she believes Colombia sparkles!
Best Time to Visit Colombia by Season
October to November (Low Season) – Due to heavy rainfall, flash floods are common in Cartagena and the Caribbean shore. This is a great time for hiking in the Amazonas due to the low water levels.
March to September – Some cities such as Cali, Bogota and Medellin suffer a second bout of rainfall at this time, especially in the month of May. April is the best time for whale-watching in Cartagena, when the beautiful humpback whales travel here to nest and rear their young.
December to March (High Season) – Expect gorgeous sunny skies and warm weather, especially in the Andean regions.
What to Pack
Due to the wide range in temperatures between each region, we advise you to bring several layers of clothing for your Colombia tour, which you can quickly put on or pull out according to the weather.
In the cities: Light dresses are perfect for the city or for excursions during the day.
In the jungles: Please wear long-sleeved tops, shirts and pants to protect yourself and bring a light umbrella. It is a good idea to carry a small, waterproof backpack during walks and hikes, along with sturdy shoes, swimsuit, a small towel, sunblock and insect repellent.
