Adventures by Disney is adding land tours to Colombia and Canada's Atlantic Coast in 2024, its first in those destinations.

The eight-day Colombia: Bogota, the Coffee Region, Cocora Valley and Cartagena itinerary will take families on a journey to explore the colorful, cultural inspirations behind the 2021 Disney animated film "Encanto." The Adventures by Disney worked with local Colombian experts to curate the itinerary, with added consultation from the Walt Disney Animation Team.

Travelers on the Colombia tour can expect privately guided tours of Bogota and enjoy fresh coffee while visiting a farm in the coffee-growing region; participate in an arepa-making class; explore the Afro-Caribbean influences of Cartagena; and snorkel in the Rosario Islands among colorful fish and sea life. Rates begin at $4,719 for children and $4,999 for adults. Adults-only departures of this itinerary are also available on select dates.
