Galavanta: Colombia Beyond The Ordinary
For Galavanta, every itinerary starts with a blank canvas, crafted to match a client’s interests and preferences. Their creative team are constantly in search of unique Colombian destinations, fascinating local experts and extraordinary experiences. Besides their eye for quality, Galavanta are genuine trailblazers: Cristina and Alexis were the first to really look beyond Colombia’s traditional destinations, while helping suppliers develop the infrastructure to attract high-end clients.
Colombia's meteoric rise to one of South America's top travel destinations is no secret. With its pristine jungles – making it the second-most biodiverse country in the world – and historic colonial towns, it’s also no surprise. Taking an innovative approach to travel design, Galavanta offers exclusive private villas, yachting journeys, helicopter excursions and jet expeditions to ensure a seamless travel experience across Colombia's vast and diverse regions.
When to go…
Colombia’s weather patterns vary across its distinct regions due to its diverse topography. Jungle and coastal areas are generally hotter and more humid, while the mountainous regions have cooler temperatures.
Dry Season: December - April
The best time to visit is during the dry season, when the weather is pleasant and rainfall is minimal.
Green Season: April - September
During the green season there is often a tropical shower in the afternoon, but it’s still a good time to visit.
Rainy Season: October - November
The wettest months with short, sharp showers. Temperatures remain warm and can be humid. The Amazon is in low water season so decent to explore if you don’t mind the occasional downpours. The Andean region is cooler with more consistent showers.
