Swiss leisure airline Edelweiss is expanding its long-haul network and will be flying to two new holiday destinations in Colombia from November 2023. The two new destinations Bogotá and Cartagena are ideal for exploring this country of contrasts on an impressive round trip. In addition to an incredible number of cultural highlights, you will experience Caribbean sandy beaches, lush jungle landscapes, high mountain peaks as well as vibrant metropolises.

Bogota

Bogotá: Capital and starting point of most round trips

From Bogotá, in addition to a round trip, numerous day trips can be planned into the nearby mountain landscape. It is highly recommended to spend a few days of your Colombia holidays in Bogotá itself and indulge in the hustle and bustle of the city. It has so much to offer – from a wide range of cultural activities to picturesque parks and lively markets.

Cartagena: Breathtaking natural beauty and relaxing dream beaches

The north of the country also offers treasures such as high coastal mountains, Caribbean dream beaches and beautiful national parks. As a finale to a Colombia round trip, it is worth relaxing for a few days in Cartagena before heading back home from here.

Edelweiss will be flying nonstop from Zurich to Bogotá, on to Cartagena and back nonstop to Zurich on Wednesdays and Sundays from November 22, 2023.
