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…
Dry season: December - March
Sunny days and lower humidity across much of the country. The best time to visit the Caribbean coast. Blue skies over the Andes. Ideal weather for beach days, outdoor activities and exploring cities.
Green season: April - June
Bright, fresh mornings with short tropical showers in the afternoons. Landscapes are especially green, waterfalls are at their fullest, and cities remain very enjoyable for cultural visits.
“Veranillo” Dry season: July - August
Excellent conditions throughout the country. Light rains in the Andes. Warmer and more humid on the Caribbean coast but still good for beach escapes. Humpback whales gather along the Pacific coast near Bahía Solano, and Caño Cristales comes alive with vivid colour.
Rainy season: October - November
More consistent rainfall, usually in brief bursts rather than all-day storms. The countryside is lush and vibrant, and visitor numbers are lower. The Caribbean coast remains warm year-round, though occasional showers can occur.
