Group Travel to Colombia

Updated: February 22, 2026

Caribbean Region

Heavy rainfall has caused flooding, road disruptions, and some infrastructure damage in the Caribbean coastal area of Colombia. Forecasts indicate unstable weather will persist for some days. As a result of the rains, some areas are temporarily inaccessible and beach access remains closed for safety reasons.

All G Adventures travellers and staff are safe and accounted for.

We will continue to monitor the situation closely over the coming days and we will update groups locally should changes to itineraries become necessary.

There has been an increase in Yellow Fever cases in Colombia. Vaccinations are not advised for most traveler's but may be considered for those with prolonged exposure or difficulty avoiding mosquito bites. Currently there is no advice to get a yellow fever vaccine to travel on our trips.

Key Considerations

Vaccination: Not recommended for cities like Barranquilla, Cali, Cartagena, Medellín, and Bogotá, or areas above 2,300m and San Andrés y Providencia.

Mosquito Protection: Wear long trousers and sleeves at sunrise and sunset, and use strong mosquito repellant.

Evolving Situation

We will continue to monitor the situation for any updates and advise travelers to stay flexible and follow local advisories.

For the latest updates:

• US: Enrol in STEP
• UK: Check the FCDO website

As always, we're committed to keeping you informed and will make any necessary adjustments to our plans should the situation change.

Booked the Colombia Andean Vistas trip for later this year and pretty nervous about the language barrier tbh. My Spanish is basically zero, can say please, thank you, and order a beer.

The itinerary hits Medellin, Guatape and the Caribbean coast. Is the CEO good at translating during activities or are you kind of on your own during free time? And in Cartagena specifically, is English widely spoken enough to get by in restaurants and shops?

Not looking for someone to hold my hand, just want to know if I should be cramming Duolingo for the next 3 months.
