This lost city in Sierra Nevada is believed to have been founded 650 years early than Machu Picchu. The site can only be accessed by climbing 1,200 stone steps through the dense Colombia jungle after a 3-day guided hike. If you don't fancy such a long hike, guests of Lightfoot Travel can take a private helicopter followed by a 2-hour hike escorted by an expert guide.
Declared a national monument in 1940, this rock was first climbed in 1954. Visitors can now use the unique winding staircase that clings to the side of the rock, and enjoy a refreshment at the cafe that is now found at the top. But you won’t want to rush back down because the views of the surrounding countryside are epic.
This dramatic cathedral can be found in salt mines in Bogota, which lie 200 metres below ground. This isn’t just for the tourists as 3,000 people venture down into the mines to attend a service here each week.
Head to the Tatocoa Desert to embrace the Colombian wilderness, surreal desert landscapes and enjoy some of the most incredible stargazing moments.
The Cocora Valley in Colombia's Coffee Triangle is now part of a national park that has been created to stop the wax palm from becoming extinct. Within the valley you can go horseback riding, whitewater rafting and trout fishing, or go trekking and then enjoy a swim in one of the rivers.
