Colombia

Once off limits due to the tense political situation, Colombia has undergone a dramatic reinvention in recent years to become one of the most alluring destinations in South America.

Capital city Bogota is a cosmopolitan, safe destination for lovers of art, culture and food, whilst the thriving cities of Medellin and Cali are brimming with Latin spirit, and the colourful port city of Cartagena combines colonial history with a Caribbean feel.

Previously infamous for its cultivation of the coca plant, Colombia’s coffee and chocolate industries today provide umpteen options for visitors to experience, but contest with huge mountain ranges, Amazon rainforest and endless coastline for the adventurous traveller’s attention.

To experience a country refreshed, Colombia is a must-visit destination.
