Local tip for booking

If you’re planning to book any of the best-selling tours, think about how the climate will affect your experience. For example, the coffee region is lush but can get muddy in the rainy season between April and November. If you want better walking conditions and easier access to farms, try booking your tours from late December through March. In cities like Bogotá and Medellín, weather is less of a factor, but weekends often fill up fast with locals and tourists alike, especially in La Candelaria or Comuna 13. Another tip is to bring comfortable walking shoes since most top tours involve a fair bit of on-foot exploring in uneven streets or nature trails.
