– Fall in love with Tayrona National Park

Tayrona National Park is one of Colombia’s most beautiful national parks and is located 34 kilometers from Santa Marta, in the Maddalena region. One of the most attractive points that the park has to offer is the Santa Nevada de Santa Marta, which is one of the highest coastal ranges in the world.

Tayrona National Park is well known for its biodiversity, as it is made up of two ecosystems that covers more than 30 kilometers of Colombia’s rugged northwest coastline. Here you will uncover some of the country’s most beautiful blue water coves, sandy white beaches, crystal-clear lagoons and lush green jungles.

This park is ideal for couples who want to discover unique landscapes, have a relaxing time, observe sunrise and sunset and take beautiful photos together. There is the option to stay inside of the park in different spectacular hotels or ecological cabins of all kinds and budgets.

– Share a romantic dinner in Cartagena

Known as “the pearl” of the Caribbean, Cartagena is a very popular destination for wedding celebrations and honeymoons. This comes as no surprise, as there are so many special spots that will make you fall in love with your other half, even more.

The well-preserved old town offers romance with luxury, from boutique hotels to top-rated gourmet restaurants, and even the chance to ride on a horse-drawn carriage. It feels like something straight out of a story book, almost too good to be true!

The climate is comfortable, ranging from Caribbean warm to hot, and the sunsets are definitely something worth writing home to about. The only downside is having to leave, and go back home. Cartagena is a dream location for all couples to experience their best honeymoon.

– Awaken your senses with specialty coffee in the Coffee Triangle

Colombia produces some of the world’s best tasting coffee, and it is famous for the mild, but rich, aroma that rises from each brew. In Colombia, it is much more than just a simple hot beverage that we take for granted – it is a culture and a lifestyle that play a huge role in the country’s traditions.

The Colombian Coffee Triangle consists of three departments namely Caldas, Risaralda and Quindio. The most popular destination in the Coffee Triangle is the cute little town of Salento, in the Quindo department. With its colorful, traditional architecture, variety of restaurants and coffee tours – it creates a romantic setting for any type of couple.

Some other highlights in the Coffee Triangle include the hot springs of Santa Rosa de Cabal, hiking in the mountains of Los Nevados National Park, or birdwatching in one of the many bird reserves like Rio Blanco, Otun Quimbaya and Montezuma. It is even possible to take a hot-air balloon ride over this incredible landscape. It promises a romantic experience like no other, which you will always remember.

– Kiss on Love Bridge at Providencia Island

Even though the journey is time-consuming, as you have to arrive via San Andres, Providencia Island is the Caribbean dream island. The crystal-clear waters and virgin beaches make this island a wonderful place to experience the ultimate honeymoon, and the bonus is that the island is far away from mass tourism.

To reach Providencia you have to endure a long flight from mainland to San Andres, which is the more popular sister island. Then you need to take another short flight (30 minutes) to arrive to Providencia. It is definitely worth the mission, especially if you are seeking a private, secluded island honeymoon.

– Experience star-gazing in the Tatacoa Desert

Tatacoa Desert is the second largest desert in Colombia, followed by La Guajira desert which comes in first place. Its beautiful landscapes will make you feel like you are on another planet. It is located in the north of the department of Huila, in the southwest of the country.

Tatacoa Desert consists of ochre and gray canyons, covered by a lot of cacti. One of its main attractions are its mountains that resemble small labyrinths. It is no wonder that Tatacao Desert attracts a lot of visitors from all around the globe. There’s a beautiful hotel in the middle of the desert, Bethel Bio Luxury Hotel, which is one of the most romantic hotels in Colombia.

There are different accommodation options like glamorously decorated rooms in an old restored house, two different glamping options, and beautiful rooms made in caves, yes caves! There are also two swimming pools, a sunset lounge, a small spa, and an excellent restaurant.
