San Augustin, Colombia

San Augustin is the hidden pearl located in the south of Colombia perfect for adventurous couples. There is no road leading to this place.

In order to get to San Augustin, you will have to take a small muddy path through the mountains. In case you are both looking for a more adventurous type of travel, you can take the so-called Trampoline of Death, a road high in the mountains, known for its inaccessibility!

San Augustin itself is a small village built on the site of an ancient civilization, the origin and name of which is still unknown to scientists today. It is here where you can spend your romantic holidays among thousand year old stone monuments, fascinating waterfall views, steep paths, and tropical gardens full of parrots!

A surfers’ paradise, Arugam Bay is a great destination for anyone who dreams about simple but unforgettable romantic vacations.

Tbilisi, Georgia

This ancient town, lost behind the Caucasian mountains, is one of the most unique places on Earth. Ancient cathedrals and palaces, tiny streets, and cozy cafes might sound way too familiar to anyone who has ever traveled around Europe, but the truth is that it is neither geographically nor culturally European.

In fact, the Georgians belong to the unique ethnic group with no genetic relatives anywhere in the world. The latter is evidently reflected in their one of its kind architecture, culture, and traditions.

Georgians are the most hospitable people we have ever met and Tbilisi is a great destination for gastro and wine tours, a nice addition to any romantic holiday. Romantic destination ideas for couples travel.
