There is so much more to see than the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/en\/tag\/highlights-colombia-en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>highlights Colombia<\/strong><\/a>, yet almost all travelers stay on the popular itinerary. I love traveling off the beaten path, and so here on BESABINE I regularly share great tips for traveling <em>off the beaten track<\/em>. But how do you combine these destinations with your itinerary through Colombia? How much time do you need for it? And what does such a route look like? In this new series, I give you ready-made travel itineraries Colombia off the beaten path. To make it even easier for you to discover the real Colombia. I&#8217;ll kick off with the department in which I myself live: Cundinamarca. You will be surprised at how much there is to see and do here and how easy it is to combine with the highlights. Itineraries Colombia off the beaten path #1: from Bogot\u00e1 to Honda.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>From Bogot\u00e1 to Honda: discover Cundinamarca<\/h2>\n<hr>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Without a doubt, one of my favorite departments in Colombia: Cundinamarca. A department that has very much to offer and is home to many different landscapes and climates. On this route you will travel through two climate zones and go from very high to very low. Here you will visit beautiful lakes and ecosystems, you can go paragliding and rafting, and sun lovers will also enjoy here.

Zipaquir\u00e1 &#8211; San Francisco (altitude: 1520 meters)<\/h3>\n<p>From the bus station in Zipaquir\u00e1, buses go directly to Honda. Along the way, you&#8217;ll pass by San Francisco. A wonderful stop that I can definitely recommend. And here&#8217;s why:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>High in the mountains in cold Zipaquir\u00e1 you get on the bus, in San Francisco you get off in 25 to 30 degrees.<\/li>\n<li>Here you will find a totally different climate and environment, with orange trees and bunches of bananas.<\/li>\n<li>In San Francisco you can take beautiful walks<\/li>\n<li>And you&#8217;ll find a special hummingbird garden here<\/li>\n<li>Want to camp? In San Francisco you will find a fine campground right by the water.<\/li>\n<li>Resting in a hotel with a pool is also possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/en\/san-francisco-heat-hummingbirds-beautiful-nature-and-hiking-just-outside-bogota\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Read all about San Francisco here!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>What to do in the area?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A 15-minute drive from San Francisco is La Vega. This even warmer village is immensely popular among Bogotans who come here to celebrate their weekends in the heat. La Vega, unlike San Francisco, is much busier and more touristy. There are some nice walks to do, but if you are looking for real peace and quiet, San Francisco is your place.<\/p>\n<h4>How to get there.<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As mentioned, the bus from Zipaquir\u00e1 to Honda passes by San Francisco, but not in the village itself. In fact, from the main road it is a short drive to your hotel or the small center. Ask the bus driver to drop you off at the entrance to San Francisco and wait there for another bus. If you are by car, simply take the exit for San Francisco.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-4' class='gallery galleryid-31195 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_20160608_203718.jpg' data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_20160608_203718.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Colombia - hummingbird - photography\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_20160608_203718.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_20160608_203718-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_20160608_203718-744x496.jpg 744w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_20160608_203718-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_20160608_203718-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_20160608_203718-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_20160722_005048.jpg' data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_20160722_005048.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Moving abroad\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_20160722_005048.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_20160722_005048-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_20160722_005048-744x496.jpg 744w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_20160722_005048-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_20160722_005048-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_20160722_005048-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Geel-Bananen.jpg' data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Geel-Bananen.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Colombia in color - yellow - San Francisco\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Geel-Bananen.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Geel-Bananen-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Geel-Bananen-744x496.jpg 744w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Geel-Bananen-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Geel-Bananen-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Geel-Bananen-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>4.

Here you can include ziplining, rafting, canyoning and abseiling. Tobia is also great for relaxing by the pool. Due to its lower elevation among the mountains, you will find warmer temperatures here.

That while this town is really in the middle of the country among the mountains. Wander through the colorful streets, cruise on the famous R\u00edo Magdalena, discover the interesting museums and take a city walk to the old train station, among other places.

have seen, there is a lot to do on this route. You can go through it fairly quickly in about 8 days, but in 1.5 to 2 weeks you can see much more and travel more slowly. Just what you want and how much time you have.<\/p>\n<h3>Who are the off-the-beaten-path itineraries for?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This itinerary is meant for travelers who really want to discover a different side of Colombia, want to do things a little differently than usual and have the time. If you are only in Colombia for two weeks, the highlights are more obvious. The route is also great for if you have 1.5 weeks and want to explore part of the country in an easy way from Bogot\u00e1.<\/p>\n<h3>What do you bring?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The great thing about this route is that it takes you through different climate zones and landscapes. You start high in the mountains in a colder climate where it rains regularly and you end very low in a valley where it is hot. So bring at least long pants, a warm sweater, a raincoat, summer clothes, walking shoes, sunglasses and hat\/cap and sunscreen. In short: clothing for hot and cold weather.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you travel?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This itinerary is very convenient to do by car. Especially for the part around Sop\u00f3, a car is very useful.  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/en\/renting-a-car-in-colombia-to-do-or-not-to-do-fun-routes-tips-traffic-rules-and-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Read all about car rental in Colombia here.<\/strong><\/a>  However, it can also be done perfectly well by bus. There are direct buses from Bogot\u00e1 to Sop\u00f3, from Sop\u00f3 to Zipaquir\u00e1 and from Zipaquir\u00e1 to Honda where you pass San Francisco and the entrance to Tobia. The destinations around Sop\u00f3 can be done by bus or cab. For details, see the individual articles associated with the destinations.<\/p>\n<h3>Further travel through Colombia<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once you have followed this route, you can do two things: take a direct bus from Honda back to Bogot\u00e1 or explore the rest of the country. And let that be just that easy! In fact, Honda is the transportation hub of Colombia. From here, buses go everywhere.
