Is this trip right for you?
- The Cocora Valley hike is quite rigorous, so you’ll need to be fit and have sturdy walking shoes. If you’d rather relax, you’re free to opt out of this activity and soak up the scenery at your leisure.
- Colombia enjoys a stable year-round climate, but it can get particularly hot and humid in the north. Be sure to drink plenty of water and wear adequate sun protection, especially in Cartagena on the coast.
