High Season

In the Andean region the days are dry and sunny. Prices tend to be very high due to the influx of tourists. Colombians have their holidays at this time.

Shoulder Season

The cities of Bogotá, Medellin, Cartagena and Cali have rains this season. On the Pacific coast it is possible to carry out whale watching. The Amazon River is at its lowest level from August to October and at its maximum between May and June.

Low Season

The prices go down considerably. However, in the Andean region, rains can cause floods. The months are calm and low for tourism. It is best to visit the beautiful Caño Cristales river with its five colors.

Your trip to Colombia

Your travel to Colombia has about 255% the climate impact as your entire yearly budget of CO₂ emissions. This "yearly climate-compatible budget" sets the limit of emissions any person should produce in order to keep global warming to below 2C at about 2 tons of CO2. It includes anything from heating to stay warm and cosy in winter, your daily hot showers, the annoying commute to work, any traveling you do, the production of your yummy food and products you buy – and much more you emit by living your life.

travelhero tip
Just like slow food – ever thought about slow travel? Discovering the hidden treasures nearby is a great new adventure. Go by train to get a better feeling of small changes in your surroundings or have a fun road trip with your friends. If you still feel the need to fly, compensate your emissions.
