Cartagena

We will be staying in Cartagena for 4 nights: Sat July 26 - Wed July 30.

Amid the late-night salsa bars and cantinas of Getsemani’s historic neighborhood, Cartagena’s restored colonial buildings are complete with outdoor swimming pools, rooftop terraces, coworking spaces, bars, courtyard lounges, and seafood restaurants that serve Colombian dishes daily. With local tour guides and community partners, our travelers will get to learn about Afro-Colombian history and visit & tour the first free Black town in the Americas - San Basilio de Palenque. Ogle the 500 year old port city walls from your room and take in views of the Clock Tower, San Pedro Claver Church, and San Felipe de Barajas Castle, all just a 10 minute walk away. After morning yoga at sunrise, refuel with a fruity, regional breakfast before walking over to Trinidad Square to explore the city’s architecture led by our expert guides. Back at the hostel, head upstairs for dinner and embrace coconut-infused cocktails and a dose of Afro-Caribbean music from the likes of cumbia and champeta!

Medellín

We will be staying in Medellín for 4 nights: Wed July 30 - Sun Aug 3.

We will be staying in Medellín for 2 nights between Fri Aug 1 - Sun Aug 3. Medellín is the capital of Colombia’s mountainous Antioquia province. Nicknamed the “City of Eternal Spring” for its temperate weather, it hosts a famous annual Flower Festival. Modern metrocables link the city to surrounding barrios and offer views of the Aburrá Valley below. Sculptures by Fernando Botero decorate downtown's Botero Plaza, while the Museo de Antioquia displays more of the Colombian artist’s work. Make sure to look at the amazing mountains on the drive from the airport. A colorful city with a whole lot of character, our hostel sits in the heart of the hip Provenza neighborhood. Surrounded by culinary hotspots, buzzing bars, and authentic coffee shops, our hostel is the perfect place to explore this spellbinding city and meet like-minded travelers and creatives with a zest for art, culture, and music.
