  • Colombia is an amalgamation of rich history and even richer culture, delicious food, wild dancing with a great nightlife that draws travellers in.
  • Colombia's landscape is extreme - in just one visit, you can experience snow-covered volcanoes and mountains of the Andes. Northern and Western Colombia has tropical beaches and deserts, and vast grasslands called Los Llanos, in the East. Lush green environments and bright sunshine make December-March the perfect time to visit this country. For more pleasant experience, July - September is also better for exploring the countryside, Jungles and Beaches.
  • Colombia is considered a safe country for woman and solo travellers. It has a positive link between Ecuador and Peru situated on the southwest. Panama on the north-west. Brazil and Venezuela on the east. Colombia has a coastline on both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Learning a few basic words in Spanish will help you to communicate easily. One can easily travel by bus, train or hire a bike, bicycle in Colombia but to enjoy the serene beauty and sights of Colombia opting a road trip would be great.
  • What to see in Colombia?

  • Colombia's Caribbean beaches, Pacific coast, Amazon rainforest, Andes mountain range and Desert plains appeal to ultimate magic for the visitors. Colombia’s diverse culture is unique in history. Towns and stone paths, enigmatic statues, burial urns and impressive gold and pottery constitute part of a cultural heritage that provides insights about the beliefs and way of life. Catholicism is the main religion in Colombia, and Spanish is the most common language spoken and influenced by Spanish culture.
  • Bogota is the largest city and capital of Colombia, also known for its excitement and vibrancy deep-rooted in its sophisticated streets, and it is located at a great altitude of 2640 meters amidst the Andean Peaks. Cartagena or Cartagena de Indias, capital of Bolivar department, is the fifth largest city in Colombia. Located on the Carribean coast, the city is known for its grand colonial mansions, plazas, beautiful beaches and a vibrant lifestyle. Medellên is the second largest city in Colombia and the capital of the Antioquia department located in the northwest of the country. Medellên is called the City of the Eternal Spring because of its pleasant weather throughout the year. Combine the scenic beauty of Andes with lovely weather, a vibrant lifestyle, courteous and hospitable locals and tons of art and culture; you will wish to extend your stay as many others who have been captivated by the charm of this city.
  • Top places to visit in Colombia are San Andres (Beautiful Beaches), Gold Museum (for museum lovers), Monserrate (Mountain with a church), Cathedral de Sal (Underground Church), and Ciudad Perdida (archaeological site). For the thrill-seekers, Whales excursion is a must if visiting the Pacific coast. Santander is known as a paragliding capital of Colombia, and at the same time, sweeping views of the canyon is seen.
  • One should not miss the Graffiti tours because many artists express their thoughts on this tour. Exploring Tayrona National Park, snorkelling in the Rosario islands, visiting the natural wonder of rock formations of Tatacoa Desert is major attractions. Mompox has largely been bypassed by tourists, but it’s well worth making an effort for. Not only is this sleepy city a place of beauty, with its well-preserved architecture and riverside location. You can also visit the neighbouring countries with the same visa.
  • Colombia is the fourth largest coffee producer in the world. Bandeja Paisa and Ajiaco is the traditional dish in Colombia. Rum is the most popular drink in Colombia. Colombia’s exotic fruits are a highlight of any trip to the country.

Drinking tap water is perfectly safe.
