Colombia - Where to go, what to do (and eat)

[22s]

Tl;dr: me and three mates are going to Colombia over New Year - what should we do?

Hello everyone!

Had a search but couldn't find much - however, I know PHers are a well-travelled bunch and so I'm looking for ideas for my upcoming trip to Colombia.

I'll be heading out with 3 of the lads (all mid-20s) straight after Christmas and will be back around 10th Jan - all in all around 2 weeks. We fly in and out of Bogota.

I have travelled South America from Brasil all the way up to Ecuador before, but ran out of time before Colombia so I know the continent and language pretty well.

I have Cartagena and Medellin marked off as "must visits" - but apart from that very open to any ideas and recommendations, especially relating to anything a bit dangerous/off the beaten track, and also anything to do with restaurants as we all enjoy dining out (who doesn't!). I know about the Lost City - I'm a bit 'meh' about it after hiking the Inca Trail, but I'm sure we'll end up doing it.

So - over to you guys!

Thanks in advance!

Again, plenty there to be checking out so thank you. The coffee tour sounds interesting - I don't like coffee but still think it would be a great think to see/do. Is the horse tour a couple of hours too, or is it a multi-day experience?
