Customize This Colombia Trip
Being close to the equator, Colombia’s weather is fairly consistent all year long – making it a great destination to visit year round. The weather varies more based on the altitude, rather than on the time of year. Typically Colombians will only refer to two seasons, winter and summer, and differentiate based on rainfall.
Bogota is the highest major city in the country, which makes it the coolest. Temperatures are typically in the 60s throughout the year.
The Caribbean coast (including Cartagena and Parque Tayrona) has a tropical climate and is hot and humid all year long. The average temperatures are typically in the 80s or 90s, often feeling warmer with the humidity and sunshine.
The coffee region has pleasant warm weather, with precipitation throughout the year, and temperatures typically ranging between 65 and 75 degrees.
