How Much Does a Trip to Turkey from Colombia Cost in 2027?

How much does a trip to Turkey from Colombia cost? For 8 days, with a flight from Bogotá and a Turkey tour package that includes hotel, guide and transfers, the total comes to about USD 2,700 to 3,750 per person (COP 8.7 to 12.1 million). For 10 days it rises to roughly USD 2,950 to 4,800 (COP 9.55 to 15.53 million), depending on the route. The air ticket is only one part: a Bogotá–Istanbul round trip has been seen between USD 1,200 and 1,500 (COP 3.9 to 4.9 million). Message us on WhatsApp with your dates and number of travellers and we will put together a quote.

Information checked on 6 November 2026. Exchange rate used throughout the page: USD 1 = COP 3,237 (open.er-api.com, 6 November 2026). Pesos are rounded to the nearest 10,000 and move with the dollar.

Flights from Bogotá and Medellín to Istanbul: What They Cost

The flight is the biggest expense and the one that changes most by date. On 6 November 2026, Turkish Airlines' own "flights from Bogotá" page showed fares from COP 3,899,447. In Air Europa fare listings we saw COP 3,901,002 for departures in May 2027, COP 4,081,214 for December 2026 and COP 4,365,355 for October 2026. Opodo listed Turkish Airlines from about 1,001 EUR.

Putting that together, the practical range for budgeting is COP 3.9 to 4.9 million (USD 1,200 to 1,500). Treat it as a guide and not a fare: prices move with the day of the week, season and baggage.

Is there a direct flight? Turkish Airlines is the airline linked to this route. A flight tracker (May 2026) listed a nonstop Istanbul–Bogotá service at 6 flights a week and about 13 hours 25 minutes in the air. Another fare site showed an option with one stop in Panama City on a Copa codeshare, about 18 hours, and some older articles describe a technical stop in Panama on the outbound leg. Because the data does not agree, look at the booking screen to see how many stops your chosen date has before you pay.

From Medellín? We found no confirmed nonstop Medellín–Istanbul flight. The usual way is to connect, either through Bogotá or another city, and the listings we saw start from about COP 4.39 million.

Does Colombia Need a Visa for Turkey?

The sources do not fully agree, so here is what we know. The visa page of Turkey's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (mfa.gov.tr, checked on 6 November 2026) lists Colombian nationals holding diplomatic, official and ordinary passports as exempt from a visa for stays of up to 90 days. Colombia's Foreign Ministry also published news that the two countries signed a mutual visa-waiver agreement for stays of up to 90 days.

The catch: evisa.gov.tr would not load for us (blocked or redirected), and some commercial sites still say an e-Visa is needed. So we do not claim to have verified it there. Confirm the rule on evisa.gov.tr and with your airline right before buying the ticket, and check that your passport has enough validity. If you add Dubai or Egypt to the trip, their entry rules are separate.

Daily Budget in Turkey Without a Package

If you put the trip together yourselves, these are our own estimates, not official rates. They are per person sharing a double room and exclude flights.

The mid-range style covers a central three- or four-star hotel, meals in local restaurants, public transport and the odd entrance ticket. Comfortable already includes guided excursions and more elaborate dinners. A week at mid-range is USD 840 to 1,260 (COP 2.72 to 4.08 million) on top of the flight.

Turkey Tour Packages from Colombia: Prices per Person

A package combines hotel, transfers, tours and guide in one price. Values are per person, "from", and come from our catalogue of 6 November 2026. The flight from Colombia is not included. Our Turkey tour packages are split by route: Istanbul, Cappadocia and multi-city.

For first-time visitors, the 8-day Istanbul + Cappadocia package is the usual balance: the city plus the Cappadocia landscapes. If you prefer to stay in one city, the 10-day all-inclusive package costs less per day. There is more detail on our Turkey trip from Colombia page.

Single Tours: How Much a Tour of Istanbul Costs

If you book the hotel yourselves, you can add individual excursions. These are the prices of our Istanbul tours and Cappadocia tours, "from" and in dollars.

A full day with a private guide in Istanbul starts at USD 200. The Princes' Islands with lunch and the dinner cruise, at USD 90, are the cheapest on the list. If you need a Spanish-speaking guide, we request it in advance and it is confirmed before payment; we do not take it for granted. More on that in Spanish-speaking guide in Istanbul.

How Many Days You Need and When to Go

For Istanbul at an easy pace, 4 to 5 days are enough; to add Cappadocia, 8; for a multi-city route, 10 or more. With a flight of about 13 hours and an 8-hour time difference, it is best not to go below a week so the trip is worth the effort of getting there.

When is it cheaper? From what we saw, the flight price changed quite a lot by month: May 2027 appeared cheaper than December and October 2026 in the same listing. In general, and not as a rule, November to March (except the year-end holidays) tends to bring better hotel prices, while June to August is the most expensive and hottest period. Spring and autumn balance weather and price. Compare dates in the search engine and book early if you travel during holidays.

For Cappadocia, the balloon flight depends on the weather and can be cancelled for a day. That is why it pays to give the region at least two nights.

Turkey with Dubai or Egypt in One Trip

If you are already crossing the ocean, think about adding another country. Turkish Airlines flies from Istanbul to Dubai and to Cairo. Ask your agency or the airline for a multi-city or "open-jaw" ticket: Bogotá–Istanbul on the way out, Istanbul–Dubai or Cairo, and the return to Bogotá from there. It can cost less than two separate round trips, but that has to be quoted case by case.

Entry requirements for the Emirates and Egypt are separate and must be checked separately. We have a guide to Turkey and Egypt in 12 days with flights and visas and another on Turkey tour packages from Dubai.
