Colombia
Colombia is a fascinating country in South America known for its beautiful nature, rich history, spectacular mountains and exquisite coffee. After a rocky period through the 90s, Colombia has recently quickly risen to become one of the most popular countries on the continent. In this article we’ll give you the top sites to visit on a trip to Colombia.
Located in the North West of South America, Colombia is one of the most diverse countries on the planet.
With a rich and lustrous landscape – from snow-capped mountains to pristine exotic beaches – Colombia is brimming with awe inspiring natural wonders, breathtaking views and is absolutely packed with authentic Latino culture.
We think there is no place on earth quite like it.
Until recently though Colombia has unfortunately been a bit of a ‘no go’ destination for travelers, thanks mainly to its long and chequered history of drug cartels, crime and civil war.
However, after the signing of the peace agreement between the Colombia Government and guerrilla group FARC in 2016, Colombia has begun a long awaited transformation (socially, politically and economically) and is now emerging as a ‘must-see’ destination.
Although Colombia does still struggle at times to shake off its shady reputation, it is the resilience of the Colombian people; their warmth, passion and friendliness towards foreigners – not to mention their obsession with salsa and partying – that ultimately makes Colombia THE place to visit.
When you arrive you can expect a warm welcome from the locals who are eager to share their food, culture and coffee.
You’re in for one unforgettable experience.
