Bogotá
Visa-free for Jamaican passport holders
Colombia’s capital sits at over two and a half thousand metres, which shapes everything about a visit — the cool air, the pace, and the first day you should plan gently. In return you get the country’s best museums, its most ambitious restaurants and the Andes on the doorstep.

Questions
Will the altitude affect us?
Most people feel it mildly on the first day — a little breathlessness, sometimes a headache. Arriving, resting and drinking water handles it. We build your first day around that.
How does it fit with the rest of Colombia?
Very well. Two or three nights in Bogotá, then Medellín or Cartagena, is the trip we arrange most often.
Is it warm?
No. It sits around 14–19°C most of the year. Pack layers and a jacket.
