Sunny and tropical are my keywords whenever I’m planning a getaway especially over Christmas and New Years. Mike and I decided this was the year to see Colombia. As a destination it’s relatively easy to get to from New York and since it’s the same time zone there would be no jetlag to get over. We realized when we started planning that there was so much more to see so we chartered an itinerary that would start in Bogota then take us through Salento, Villa de Leyva, Santa Marta and end in the city walled of Cartagena.
The walled city is a labyrinth of narrow streets lined with brightly painted houses and balconies bursting with hibiscuses and bougainvilleas. Imagine walking into a film set where every corner is Instagram ready.
