About Me

Colombia is one of South America's most vibrant and diverse destinations, offering everything from stunning Caribbean beaches to lush coffee plantations and lively cities. If you're looking to travel to Colombia, this guide will help you explore its top attractions, discover the best time to visit, and uncover must-do activities for an unforgettable trip!

Best Places to Visit in Colombia

  • Cartagena: One of the most iconic Colombia tourist attractions, Cartagena is a city of colorful colonial streets, historic forts, and stunning Caribbean beaches. Explore the walled city, take a boat trip to the Rosario Islands, and soak up the lively atmosphere.
  • Medellín: As the capital city, Bogotá is packed with history and culture. Walk through La Candelaria, visit the Gold Museum, and take a trip up Monserrate for panoramic views. The city's rich food scene is also a must-explore.
  • Bogotá: As the capital city, Bogotá is packed with history and culture. Walk through La Candelaria, visit the Gold Museum, and take a trip up Monserrate for panoramic views. The city's rich food scene is also a must-explore.
  • Salento & the Coffee Triangle: If you're a coffee lover, visiting the Colombian Coffee Region is a must. Hike through the Cocora Valley, famous for its towering wax palm trees, and enjoy a coffee farm tour in Salento to taste some of the world’s best coffee.
  • Tayrona National Park: A paradise for nature lovers, Tayrona offers some of the most beautiful beaches in Colombia, surrounded by lush jungles and crystal-clear waters. You can hike through the park, relax on Playa Cristal, or snorkel in its vibrant marine ecosystems.

Best Time to Visit Colombia

The best time to visit Colombia depends on your preferred activities and regions. The dry seasons, from December to March and July to August, are ideal for sightseeing, beach trips, and hiking. If you want to experience Colombia’s famous festivals, visit in February for the Barranquilla Carnival or in August for Medellín’s Feria de las Flores (Flower Festival). The country enjoys a tropical climate, so you can visit year-round, but some regions experience more rain from April to June and September to November.

Things to Do in Colombia

  • Explore Colombia’s colonial cities – Wander through Cartagena, Popayán, and Villa de Leyva.
  • Visit the Amazon Rainforest – Experience incredible biodiversity and indigenous cultures.
  • Enjoy beach life – Relax on San Andrés, Providencia, and Tayrona’s stunning shores.
  • Taste authentic Colombian food – Try bandeja paisa, arepas, and fresh tropical fruits.
  • Go salsa dancing in Cali – Known as the world’s salsa capital, Cali is the best place to learn and dance all night!

Ireland The Emerald Isle A Traveler's Paradise
Reviewed By Jane S. - Dallas, Texas | Traveled to Ireland ~ Europe
I had a great experience working with Ahmer Khan as our travel agent. He was very helpful in organizing our family tourist visit to Ireland. He was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns that we had and made sure that our trip went smoothly. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a travel agent.
Ahmer Khan responded
"Thank you Jane, I'm glad to hear that your family had a great time in Ireland. It's always my goal to make sure all of our clients have the best possible experience when they travel with us and it sounds like we did just that! I'll be in touch soon about booking another trip for you or someone else on your team."
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Best adventure and most exciting trip Ive been on!
Reviewed By Jacob G - Austin, TX | Traveled to Costa Rica ~ Central America
Of all the vacations and adventures I've been on, none compared to this one. And this was all thanks to Ahmer and his compassion and commitment to making my trip so unique. I was very impressed by the locations that he chose. We made drives through places I have only read about. From the ocean views at the places we stayed nestled in remote rain forests to the deep jungle we explored, everything was not only exciting, but of envy to my friends and family. Every picture we took was something I had barely experienced prior. For me the thing that stood out was the feeling we had backpacking into the Ova Peninsula. I had never seen so much wildlife outside of a documentary. I am looking forward to our next engagement with Ahmer. I can not wait to see what he has planned for us in the future.
Ahmer Khan responded
"Hi Jacob, Thank you for your wonderful feedback. The Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica is certainly a favorite and feels almost like another world. The Corcovado National Park is the gem of the peninsula and we could have easily spent another week there hiking through the lush vegetation and experiencing the biodiversity of this jungle. Hope you get more opportunities to travel to amazing places. Cheers, The Hourglass Team"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

9 days in Paris and Nice
Reviewed By TalhaK - San Jose, CA | Traveled to France ~ Europe
Ahmer helped plan and book my first family vacation in France. I was travelling to France on a business trip and decided to take a vacation afterwards. Ahmer was extremely approachable, knowledgable and friendly, and went out of his way to customize the trip for us. My family and I were flying in to Paris and returning from Nice. He planned and booked the air ticket and local tours for us. He even recommended against booking certain tours and do the activity on our own instead (to save time and money). He has travelled extensively throughout his life with and without his family - this sets him apart from other travel agents as he actually knows the destination thoroughly. I would definitely book my future trips with him.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

An unforgettable trip to Egypt 2023
Reviewed By Linda - Boston, MA | Traveled to Cairo ~ Egypt ~ Africa
Ahmer Khan was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, responsive, and attentive to details as we worked on planning a 10-day trip to Egypt for our group of friends. I have been to Egypt before several times and I knew in my initial conversation with Ahmer that he had an in-depth knowledge of Egypt that would make our trip seamless. While on the trip, I had to contact Ahmer a couple of times for questions and he responded immediately. This helped us feel supported even though we were so far away. Planning the trip with Ahmer also made the process easy and fun and I felt like I could talk to him for hours about our trip. From this point forward, I will likely never plan a major trip without Ahmer's assistance. It made the world of difference for myself and my friends and we returned with some of the most epic memories of lives, and we have Ahmer to thank for that!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

A trip to remember
Reviewed By Kashif - Sacramento, CA | Traveled to French Polynesia ~ South Pacific
We were on the fence about this trip and decided to go after talking with Ahmer. He helped a lot in planning it and made everything a breeze. Buying plane tickets, car rental, hotel reservations, things to do, you name it; Ahmer helped with all of them. We are so glad that we picked Ahmer because it was a trip to remember!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
