Colombia is the world’s leading producer of fine emeralds, and the Emerald Tour in Cartagena offers a rare opportunity to get up close to one of the country’s most prized treasures.

This four-hour, small-group experience begins with hotel pickup and a warm welcome from your expert guide before heading to a premium emerald showroom where you’ll witness the entire journey of the stone — from raw rough crystal to brilliantly polished gem. Learn how to evaluate emeralds using the four Cs (color, cut, clarity, and carat), understand why Colombian emeralds are the most sought-after in the world, and hear the fascinating history of the mining regions that have made Colombia synonymous with the finest green stones.

You’ll also have the opportunity to view and try on exquisite emerald jewelry and, for those who wish, make a purchase with full confidence and authentication. An exceptional experience for gemstone enthusiasts, luxury shoppers, and curious travelers who want to bring a piece of Colombia home.
