Colombia is South America’s best kept secret with overarching Andean summits, stunning Caribbean coast, enigmatic Amazon jungle, pre-Columbian architecture and multi-cultural communities. Colombia boasts all of South America’s allure, and more.
The big cities of Bogota and Medellin bring in the dynamism and the erstwhile prison island of Isla Gorgona that is now a national park is where you can have close encounters with snakes, bats, monkeys, and sloths and the boat journey also offers many chances to see humpback whales, sharks, and giant sea turtles. Indulge in some of the world’s best coffee and go diving in the tropical waters of San Andres and Providencia. With the cities of Cartagena, Guatape and San Gil, the country’s age-old history and charm will also leave a spell on you.
