NEW YORK, April, 2, 2014/TravMedia/ -- smarTours, a leading provider of affordable high-quality international tour packages across the globe, is proud to announce the launch of its eleven-day Discover Colombia program starting at an amazingly low price of $1,999 per person, including airfare. Destinations include Bogota, Medellin, Cartagena, and the Coffee Triangle, representing a truly comprehensive tour of this up-and-coming destination. Rates are based on an early booking discount for reservations made prior to April 24, 2014.

One of the highlights of South America, Colombia's amazing architecture, fantastic coffee & cuisine, geographic diversity, and gracious hospitality combine to create an unforgettable travel experience. Colombia is home to seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites and is truly a land of startling contrasts: modern Bogota in the Andes Mountains, rich rural culture in the Coffee Triangle, renaissance and renewal in Medellin, and the Caribbean coast of Cartagena.

On this incredible journey, smarTours travelers will begin with a two-night stay in Bogota, the capital of Colombia, which provides a mix of colonial grandeur and lively modern metropolis. On the next leg of the tour, travelers will explore the Coffee Triangle during a three-night stay.  The Coffee Triangle is covered with coffee plantations due its nutrient-rich volcanic soil in its hilly landscape. Not only does the land produce some of the world's finest coffee, but it also produces breathtaking landscapes throughout the region. The next stop is Medellin, the second-largest city in Colombia, for a two-night stay. Medellin is the home of famous artist Fernando Botero and perhaps the best example of the country's renaissance. Cartagena is the final stop on your journey and the perfect place to round out your remarkable tour of Colombia. Cartagena simply has it all – it is a historical gem, a symbol of modern Colombia, and last but not least, a spectacular beach destination.

The smarTours Discover Colombia tour package includes round trip international airfare from Miami via LAN Airlines, intra-Colombia flights, ground transportation and transfers, accommodations at first class hotels, 17 meals, comprehensive sightseeing tours, and an experienced English speaking Tour Director throughout. The amazingly low starting price of $1,999 per person, including airfare, is based on an early booking discount for reservations made prior to April 24, 2014. The first scheduled departure date is September 13, 2014.
