COLOMBIA
Why Visit Colombia?
Home to a diversity of cultures and break-taking scenery on a footprint twice the size of France, Colombia makes a wonderful destination for travellers. From salsa dancing to food, there’s so much to experience in Colombia from jungles and snow-capped volcanoes to rocky deserts, lush valleys, and deserted beaches.
Wander the narrow streets in Bogotá, discover old Spanish colonial provincial retreats like Villa de Leyva, and trek through the thick jungle-covered mountains of the northeast. Walk the walls of Cartagena’s achingly beautiful old city, looking over the fortified ramparts upon which the colonial history of South America pivoted. Then try the ubiquitous cheap, delicious Colombian home-style meals or head to the big cities for a taste of cuisines from all corners of the world.
Nature lovers can marvel at the towering wax palms of Cocora Valley, hike through the rugged beauty of Tayrona National Park, or uncover the mysteries of Ciudad Perdida (The Lost City) deep in the jungle. The country’s thriving coffee culture invites visitors to sip world-class brews in the Coffee Triangle, while Cali’s infectious salsa rhythms keep the city dancing late into the night. Whether indulging in traditional arepas, exploring Amazonian wildlife, or experiencing Colombia’s warm hospitality, this South American gem promises adventure, history, and unforgettable moments.
Colombia is a country of breathtaking diversity, offering travelers a mix of tropical beaches, lush rainforests, and bustling cities. From the Caribbean coastline, where Cartagena’s colorful colonial streets meet turquoise waters, to the Andean highlands of Bogotá and Medellín, Colombia is a land of contrasts waiting to be explored.
