About Colombia
Forget Colombia's bad boy reputation. Known for many years as a dangerous haven for FARC rebels and drug kingpins, the country has made enormous strides to clean up its act. Now, there are a handful of conflict areas where travel is forbidden, but everywhere
you would visit as a tourist is considered safe.
There is a lot to see and do in this country, which is twice the size of France. Visitors will be surprised by the enormous amount of cultural and ecological diversity. In just a short amount of time it is
possible to visit steamy Amazonia, the temperate and rugged Andes and the tropical coastline. Colombia's capital, Bogota, is a chilly mountain metropolis of 9 million people, whereas Cartagena is a diverse and colorful Caribbean city. Down south is
the Zona Cafetera, home to modern Colombia's most famous export: coffee.
No matter which of Colombia's many offerings you choose to explore, prepare to be overwhelmed by the history, the food and the warm and welcoming people.
Some of the many unique activities found only in Colombia include:
- Celebrate at Baranquilla's Carnivale, the second largest on the continent
-
Hike into Tayrona National Park, a hidden paradise
-
Learn to salsa! It's Colombia's national dance
