It’s no secret that COVID-19  devastated the economy of Colombia and the hardest sector hit by the Coronavirus is the tourism and hospitality sector. This caused many hotels, restaurants, and tour agencies to change hands.

I am happy to say that here at BnB Colombia Tours we have not only survived but have built on our already strong relationships with guides and transport operators throughout Colombia. So we now have even more fantastico experiences and tours, in even more locations throughout this beautiful country.

Our advice for travelers planning on visiting the beautiful country of Colombia is to book and travel at any time you choose. And not be concerned with Covid in Colombia at all.

Due to the ongoing vaccine programs in Colombia and other countries, and from all reports that we monitor daily, we believe the worst is truly behind us and travelers will not have any travel restrictions going forward.
