Your estimate sits within the typical range.
Check Smartraveller's current advice for Colombia, some regions carry higher advisories than the main tourist cities and routes, and travel insurance may limit cover for areas under a 'reconsider' or 'do not travel' warning. Stick to the well-travelled routes and confirm your policy covers where you plan to go.
Australians generally do not need a visa for short tourist stays in Colombia, but the route there usually transits the US (needing an ESTA) or goes via another Latin American hub, so check your routing. Confirm current entry requirements and regional safety advice with Smartraveller and the embassy before booking.
💰 Ways to save
- Spend longer on the ground, once the flight is paid for, Colombia's low daily costs make extra weeks cheap.
- Use the cheap, extensive domestic flights and buses to cover the distances between Cartagena, Medellin and Bogota.
- Travel in the shoulder months to avoid the December-January and Easter peaks when locals travel and prices rise.
