Day 1 – Welcome to Medellín! 🌆
Arrive in Medellín, one of Colombia’s most vibrant cities! Our driver will meet you at the airport and bring you to our boutique hotel in El Poblado. In the evening, we’ll gather for a welcome dinner and drinks - the perfect chance to meet your travel sisters, soak up the skyline views, and kick off the adventure in style.
Day 2 – The Magic of Guatapé 🌿
Today we’ll set out on a full-day adventure to Guatapé, Colombia’s storybook-beautiful lake town. Climb the iconic El Peñol rock, explore the colorful streets, and enjoy a relaxing boat ride across the turquoise waters. After lunch, we’ll return to Medellín for a chill evening or optional night out.
Day 3 – Medellín’s Energy & Culture 🎨
Discover why Medellín has captured so many hearts. We’ll spend the day exploring its highlights on a city tour!
The afternoon is yours to wander cafés, shop local boutiques, or grab cocktails with new friends.
Day 4 – Into the Coffee Region ☕️
This morning we’ll fly from Medellín to Pereira and drive into Colombia’s lush Coffee Region. We'll stay in a traditional Colombian finca-style hotel, sitting among rolling hills just minutes from town - the perfect peaceful retreat. After settling in and lunch, we’ll explore Salento’s colorful streets and cafés, then enjoy a relaxed dinner in town or back at the hotel.
Day 5 – The Valle de Cocora 🌴
Today we’ll hike & explore among Colombia’s towering wax palms in the Cocora Valley, one of the country’s most breathtaking landscapes. After lunch back in town, we’ll end the day with a fun Tejo night - Colombia’s traditional game that pairs friendly competition with local food and drinks.
Day 6 – Coffee, Horses & Filandia Charm 🐎
A dream day in the Coffee Region! We’ll visit a family-run coffee farm for a hands-on look (and taste!) at the process from bean to cup, then explore the charming town of Filandia - known for its colorful streets and artisan shops. In the late afternoon, we’ll enjoy a horseback ride through the hills before gathering for our farewell dinner.
Day 7 – Departure Day 💛
After breakfast and one last cup of Colombian coffee, we’ll head to Pereira Airport for our included group flight back to Medellín. From there, you can continue your own Medellín stay or connect to your international flight home. Expect hugs, full hearts, and maybe a few happy tears - because this week is one you’ll NEVER forget.

Hi! I'm Mackenzie, AKA Girl Going Travel.
I'm creating a life filled with travel in my twenties, with no plans of stopping anytime soon. I've solo traveled to over 30 countries and along the way, I started sharing my journey online, and Girl Going Travel was born.
I've received countless messages along the way from women who dream of bringing more travel into their life, but are afraid to do it on their own, or simply don't know where to start. It's my mission to not only empower women to step outside of their comfort zones and discover new parts of the world, but to provide safe, guided, curated, and unforgettable opportunities for us to do it together.
Colombia is one of my FAVORITE countries in the world with a culture and story like no other. I built this itinerary to include 2 of the most exciting destinations in the country, and I CAN'T wait to experience them with you.
MEET YOUR LOCAL GUIDE <3
We’ll be joined all week by Laura, our local connection and certified professional tour guide based in Medellín! With over 10 years of experience leading travelers through Colombia’s mountains and hidden corners, Laura has a gift for showing you the real Medellín. Her tours aren’t the typical kind; they’re personal, genuine, and full of heart. You’ll love her warmth, energy, and deep passion for Colombia... she’s the PERFECT local connection to bring this trip to life!

frequently asked questions
✨ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝗪𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧? Our Colombia journey begins Thursday, February 19, 2026 in Medellín and ends Wednesday, February 25, 2026. We recommend arriving earlier in the day on February 19 to settle in and join the included welcome dinner that evening. For your return, it’s best to book your departing flight home in the later half of the day on February 25, since we’ll be flying back from Pereira to Medellín that morning. If you’d like to arrive early or extend your stay, we can help with recommendations for where to stay and what to do - just email hello@girlgoingtravel.com ✨ 𝗪𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐰𝐞 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠? Expect comfortable, locally inspired accommodations that highlight the best of each region. We’ll spend 3 nights in a boutique hotel in El Poblado, Medellín - the city’s most vibrant and walkable neighborhood, and 3 nights in a traditional Colombian-style eco-hotel surrounded by nature in Salento, in the heart of the Coffee Region, just a short 5 minute taxi (Jeep!) ride into town. For privacy & safety reasons, the names of these hotels will be confirmed AFTER you are confirmed on the trip (or - you can reach out via email in advance to inquire about this!) All rooms are double occupancy, so you’ll be paired with another amazing woman from the group. If you’re traveling with a friend, you can request to room together on your pre-trip form. 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐈 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦? Single room supplements will be available on a limited, first-come first-serve basis for an additional fee.

Expect warm, comfortable days in Medellín (mid-70s°F / mid-20s°C) and slightly cooler evenings in Salento’s mountain air. Bring light layers for the countryside and a rain jacket… the Coffee Region stays lush for a reason! 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐈 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐨? Absolutely! Most women come solo. This trip is designed to help you instantly feel welcome - like you’re traveling with a group of friends you just haven’t met yet. 🗺 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐋𝐎𝐆𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐒 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐝?

All domestic flights between Medellín and the Coffee Region (Pereira) are included. 𝐃𝐨 𝐈 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐚? If you’re traveling with a U.S. passport, no visa is required to enter Colombia. Just be sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates and has one blank page for the entry stamp. 𝐈𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝? Travel insurance is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Choose a policy that covers medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and lost luggage. Trust us, it’s worth it for peace of mind. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐈 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐮𝐩?

Because this trip is limited to a small group, each booking directly impacts the confirmed arrangements for hotels, transportation, and experiences that must be paid for well in advance. For that reason, all payments are considered nonrefundable after December 6, 2025 (75 days before the trip start). If you’re on a payment plan, your $500 deposit is always nonrefundable. Any additional payments made before December 6, 2025 are refundable (minus a 10% administrative fee). If you paid in full, the same policy applies — you may cancel and receive a refund (minus $500 and a 10% administrative fee) up until December 6, 2025. After that date, all payments are fully nonrefundable. If you’re unable to travel, you may transfer your spot to another approved participant up to 45 days before the trip — just email hello@girlgoingtravel.com to arrange it. We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance with trip cancellation coverage to protect your investment in case of emergencies or unexpected changes. 💛
