Why visit Colombia?

After years of being overlooked as a tourist destination, holidays to Colombia are enjoying a revival.

It’s a vibrant and exciting place to explore, with wonderful coastlines, colonial Spanish cities, pre-Colombian ruins, spectacular National Parks and famed coffee farms. Get to know Colombia's zest for life, where the rhythms of salsa and merengue are never far away. Be immersed in history, culture and unique wildlife with a visit to this Latin American gem.

Colombia's capital, Bogota, nestled high in the Andes, is the third largest city in South America. With its many universities and libraries the city has been dubbed the ‘Athens of South America’.

Historic Cartagena on the Caribbean coast is without doubt the jewel in Colombia’s crown. In its old quarter you’ll find many colourful colonial mansions have been carefully restored and turned into attractive boutique hotels, sophisticated restaurants and wine bars. After decades of producing world-famous coffee beans, visitors to the coffee region can both learn about coffee production and relax in magnificent haciendas overlooking the verdant green hills.

 

Don’t miss the Cocora Valley; a haven for wildlife in its cloud forest as well as home to the world’s tallest wax palms.

Tayrona National Park, on the Caribbean coast, is where the spectacular forest-clad Sierra Nevada Mountains provide the backdrop to wild, tropical beaches.

For those seeking off the beaten track adventure head to the south to discover the pre-Colombian ruins at the San Agustin UNESCO World Heritage Site and for culture and art buffs, keen for an insight into Colombia’s eventful past, Medellin is the place to be!
