The first nine day trip is scheduled for November and is set to include the city of Medellin, Nuqui at the Pacific Coast and Colombia’s Coffee Region.

Guests will have the opportunity to visit and assist local communities, see historic sites and to indulge in regional cuisine whilst enjoining a variety of excellent accommodation throughout.

Launched in 2003, Advance Worldwide specialises in responsible travel to the Americas, Oceania and other selected long haul destinations.

They offer an eclectic range of services including group travel, bespoke tours, corporate travel, honeymoons and ‘do-it-yourself’ short breaks.

In February of this year Advance Worldwide attended a ProColombia arranged trip which showcased some of the country’s best tourism products and helped provide inspiration for the new venture.

ProColombia, the government agency charged with promoting tourism to Colombia is delighted with the new itinerary and are impressed with the wide range of activities and experiences that the programme offers British tourists.

The new operation is part of Advance Worldwide’s see360 concept; small group tours that inspire guests to “rejuvenate their mind, body and soul” through travel.

The trip includes accommodation in four and five star hotels and in eco-lodges, meals throughout including delicious authentic dishes, all transfers, natural spa and massage treatments and a scenic light aircraft flight connecting Medellin and the Pacific Coast.

Advance Worldwide have tailored the itinerary to provide clients with the opportunity to participate in ethical community programmes, they include working with local schools, gardening projects and wildlife protection.

And if all that work becomes too much participants can unwind with morning yoga, snorkelling, canoeing and whale and bird watching amongst other activities.
