Best Time to Visit Colombia

When to go to Colombia and how to avoid hurricane season!

Colombia is a magical city, and after years of civil conflict it is now a great place to visit. With everything from skyscraper skylines, night clubs, colonial cities, Caribbean beaches, ancient ruins, surfing, scuba diving, mountain trekking, whale watching…I could go on. With such diversity in landscapes and activities, it is essential that you plan your trip at the time best for you. Whether you wan a surf and sun beach break, an adventure in the Amazon, a city escape, a visit to the coffee plantations, high mountain trekking, or just to combine the whole lot!

South America is renowned for its friendly locals and Colombia is no exception. Varying as the weather does through the different altitudes across the country; the cultures are well worth exploring, on your journey of a lifetime. Watch the sun set, sand between your toes in the company of the relaxed locals on the coast, or improve your Spanish in the alpine city of Bogota…

Climate: Lying close to the equator, Colombia can be visited year-round, although its Caribbean coast is sometimes – not always - affected in the hurricane season (particularly August & September). Broadly speaking, dry season in the Andean region is from December to March and June to August. This by no means there will be no rain as it can be sporadic throughout the year. It might even be best to visit outside these times for less tourists and cheaper rates. The lower altitudes, such as the coast, have warmer more humid weather. In the mountainous regions, the temperatures can bee much cooler, still warm in the day, but very chilly in the evenings.
