Tourism and cultural celebrations in Colombia

Overview

In late August 2026, Cartagena hosted the Festival del Amor Consciente at the Hotel Sofitel Legend Santa Clara. Organized by Fundación TuCultura, the event focused on integrating art, entrepreneurship, and sustainability to promote tourism as a driver for social and economic development. This included the ‘Una Noche Más en Cartagena’ campaign by Akitrips to encourage travel beyond traditional routes.

Following this, preparations intensified for the national ‘Amor y Amistad’ (Love and Friendship) holiday on September 19, 2026. Travel data indicated rising interest for the holiday weekend, with domestic flight searches up 12% and hotel searches increasing by 45% compared to the previous year. Bogotá and Medellín saw the highest growth in flight searches, while Cartagena remained a notable destination.
