CARIBBEAN COASTING

Kick-off your epic 10-day Colombian adventure in a cabaña right on Costeño Beach tucked away on the outside of Tayrona National Park and bustling with nature.

If you’ve had your fill of the beach there’s the option to hop onto a motorbike and head into Tayrona National Park for a jungle trek. From there we head to Palomino, where we stay in tiki huts for two nights.

As the cherry on top of this trip, we finish off in the bright city of Cartagena. Here you can eat delicious Colombian food to your heart's content, experience the epic nightlife, explore the walled city, and so much more! 

Free & Easy is a way of travel like no other. The people you meet, the amazing locations and the absolutely perfect leaders combined, turn strangers into family and create memories that last forever. Life literally changes after a Free & Easy experience!

Itinerary

  • Day 1-4   (Costeño Beach)

    Land in Santa Marta and take a shuttle down the coast and through the jungle to Costeno Beach where we get to enjoy four nights on a beach paradise. We get to experience bungalow-style beach rooms, a swimming pool, beach volleyball, surfing, and many more activities.

    While we are here you have the opportunity to take a day trip into Tayrona National Park*.

  • Day 5-6   (Palomino)

    Enjoy a late check out in Costeno and get ready to head out by motorbike to Palomino. We have two days here close to a beautiful beach with a little artisan town to explore shops and enjoy the pool and bar at our guesthouse.

    Palomino is where we will head into the rainforest and float down the Palomino River back to the Caribbean sea and our beach at Palomino.

  • Day 7-10   (Cartagena)

    On or way to Cartagena we make a pit stop to get weird in a man-made mud volcano. After our clay bath, we head to the colourful city of Cartagena. We stay in the walled part of the city and make sure to walk around and catch the sunset over the ocean before we start our night. Check out some cool rooftop pools, world-class SCUBA diving, a boat ride to our own beach for a BBQ, and more.

    Don't forget about Cartagena's famous nightlife and shopping! We finish the trip off with a fun trip around the city on a Colombian Chiva bus (picture a school bus that has been pimped out to be the ultimate fiesta bus) for one last celebration before saying goodbye. Cartegena is sure to blow your mind!
