Save

Medellín sits at 1,405 metres in the Aburrá Valley, capital of Antioquia department in Colombia. Manizales is a city in Centro Sur with a population of over 434,000, recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Armenia is a city of around 304,000 people in Colombia's Quindío Department, sitting at the heart of the country's coffee region. The city serves as a regional hub for art, music, and sport, drawing visitors interested in authentic Colombian culture away from the better-known tourist circuits.

Why it works

Rather than one city, this threads Medellín, Manizales and Armenia and more into a single trip, so you see more of Colombia in one go. Spend longest wherever suits you.
