When there are so many wonderful destinations, it can be tough to choose just one to visit. Month-by-month, we help you pick.
The country is a stunning, delightful, and safe destination again
Despite Hollywood’s obsession with Pablo Escobar (and don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan of Narcos and Pedro Pascal), I’m here to tell you that Colombia has emerged from its shadowy past and is a stunning, delightful, and safe travel destination. I had the pleasure of visiting recently to check out the main cities of Bogota, Medellin, and Cartagena. I traveled with our local ground operator and was able to experience many of the unique day tours and activities that Global Basecamps can arrange here as part of a custom private tour to Colombia. I also had the opportunity to inspect many hotels and meet our amazing local guides and drivers. It was my first overseas trip post-pandemic and Colombia welcomed me with open arms, a warm heart, and of course, plenty of fresh coffee.
Travel is back!
The pandemic is over. The pandemic is not over. You're likely to see both these contradictory statements in the news on any given day. But whether it is or it isn’t over, one thing is certain: people are traveling again.
A huge component of the Global Basecamp experience is the incredible guides and partners we work with. We’ll be highlighting some of these extraordinary guides and giving a our community a glimpse into everything from their favorite memory on the job to why they first wanted to become a guide. We hope these spotlight interviews will help give insight into their contribution to the GB experience as well emphasize how travel can be used as a vehicle for cross-cultural connection and learning.
