Brainstorming needed

Been at this since this past Saturday but can't come up with anything cheap than $1500 that'll avoid US. Reason to avoiding US is one of us doesn't have a US visa and hence, can't transit via US.

Hard facts: 1. We are planning to travel for at a minimum, 2 weeks between Jan 8 - 31st 2025. 2. It cannot be beyond Jan 31st due to school and it can't be more than 17 days due to work for one person. 3. Cannot be via US because of visa.

Itinerary 1:

Leave and return to Bogota (within the aforementioned 17 days). In between, we'd like to travel to Lisbon, Zagreb, Rome and Ljubljana. The order for this in between Itinerary doesn't matter

Itinerary 2:

Leave Bogota but return to Cali, Colombia (within the aforementioned 17 days). In between, we'd like to travel to Lisbon, Zagreb, Rome and Ljubljana. The order for this in between Itinerary doesn't matter

Itinerary 3:

Leave and return to Cali (within the aforementioned 17 days). In between, we'd like to travel to Lisbon, Zagreb, Rome and Ljubljana. The order for this in between itinerary doesn't matter.

Please help
