Travelzoo Best Bets: Where to Go in 2026 with ProColombia

What if one trip could deliver six different adventures without crossing a border? In episode seven of our 10-part Travelzoo Best Bets Series, Dan and Travelzoo Senior Editor and co-host Gabe Saglie head to Colombia - selected as part of Travelzoo’s Canada Best Bets for 2026 - with ProColombia’s, Leisure Tourism Manager, María José Silva to unpack why 2026 is the right moment to go and how to plan a journey that blends value, connection, and real discovery.

We start with the big shifts driving Colombia’s momentum for Canadian travelers: expanded nonstop flights from Toronto and Montreal, strong year-round connectivity, and exceptional value once you land. Then we map out a first-timer route that still feels fresh, Bogotá’s market halls and Monserrate views, Medellín’s cable cars and neighborhood energy, and Cartagena’s sunlit walls paired with island escapes. Along the way, we explore a new kind of luxury that prioritizes authenticity over flash, from private islands and Amazon safaris to Medellín tasting menus that rival global dining capitals at a fraction of the cost.
