Soak Up Colombian Culture
Time to retire that annual family vacation to Florida; Cox & Kings offers a family-fun 5-day, 4-night jaunt to sunny Colombia. When arriving in the scenic coast of Cartagena, families will be greeted by a Cox & Kings guide who will accompany them through a tour of Colonial Cartagena, exploring the streets and plazas by both foot and horse-drawn carriage. Stroll down the century-old town San Basilio de Palenque and watch the colorfully dressed Palenquera women commute to the markets to sell candy and fruit. Family members will take a cue from the stylish civilians and have the opportunity to dress in colorful costume dresses and practice balancing bowls their heads. Afterwards, guests can discover Colombia’s dynamic, ever-changing landscape through activities such as a private picnic at the base of a 50-foot mud volcano — sure to give that homemade science project a run for its money. Guests will relish their own Dancing With the Stars moment as the whole family learns the rhythmic moves of merengue and cumbia, music Colombia is famous for.
