Itinerary
A 12-night journey combining AmaWaterways' Wonders of Colombia river cruise with the standard Cartagena pre-cruise and Panama City post-cruise extensions. Begin with two nights in the colonial walled city of Cartagena, sail seven nights along the legendary Magdalena River into the heart of Colombia, then unwind with three nights in Panama City, home to the famous Panama Canal.
Arrive in the Caribbean port city of Cartagena and transfer to your hotel in the historic walled city, with time at leisure to explore.
Explore Cartagena's UNESCO-listed Old Town on a guided walking tour, taking in centuries-old Spanish colonial architecture, sun-drenched plazas, and the vibrant, transitioning Getsemaní neighbourhood.
The coastal splendour of Cartagena: board your ship and settle into your stateroom before your journey along the Magdalena begins.
Echoes of freedom: visit Palenque, the first free town in the Americas, established by escaped enslaved people, and discover its enduring musical and cultural heritage as you journey through this laid-back, mangrove-lined stretch of the river.
Nature and music on the Magdalena: immerse yourself in the vibrant market life of Magangué and take a birdwatching excursion through the surrounding wetlands, home to some of the region's richest biodiversity.
Historic beauty and timeless traditions: explore the UNESCO-listed town of Mompox, a place of Baroque churches, filigree goldsmiths, and old-world charm that feels lifted from the pages of a García Márquez novel, with a guided heritage tour and live jazz performance.
Scenic cruising and cultural rhythms: enjoy a relaxed day soaking in more of Mompox's atmosphere and the surrounding river scenery before continuing your journey.
Handcrafted traditions of the heartland: visit this small riverside village where local artisans keep generations-old traditions alive through handwoven fishing nets and intricate handmade crafts, accompanied by folk music.
The vibrant soul of Colombia: experience the colour and energy of Sabanagrande, steeped in the musical and cultural traditions that define Colombia's Caribbean heartland.
Disembark and carry home the magic of Colombia: conclude your cruise in Barranquilla with a taste of its world-famous Carnival, recognised by UNESCO as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity, before flying to Panama City and transferring to your hotel to begin your extension.
Discover the engineering marvel of the Panama Canal with a guided tour of its locks and visitor centre, then explore the cobblestone streets and colonial architecture of Casco Viejo, Panama City's historic old quarter.
Enjoy a further day at leisure in Panama City, with time to relax or explore more of the capital at your own pace before your journey home.
Bid farewell to Panama and transfer to the airport for your homeward flight.
