📅 Best time to fly to Colombia
Best: December to March – the driest period in much of the Andes and Caribbean, ideal for hiking, coffee country and beaches.
Cheaper shoulder season: July and August – a shorter dry spell in the Andes with good travel conditions, plus fewer crowds than the holiday peak.
Avoid: No bad time – April-May and October-November are wetter in the Andes, but showers are usually brief and the country is green.
