Travel to Colombia
When you hear the name Colombia, you imagine the country as a dangerous territory of drugs, guerrillas and rainforests.

If you are strapped for time then our Colombia travel guide will help you choose where to visit on your vacation, depending upon your preferences.
As a travel destination, Colombia is one of the few countries in Latin America that truly has almost everything. From amazing beaches, wildlife viewing tours, rainforests, whale watching trips, archaeological remains and sites to colonial towns, nightlife, fantastic trekking, rafting and scuba diving. You have so much to do that you might consider extending your tour.
Suggested places to visit are:
Colonial Cartagena with its beautiful old colonial town; the beach at Park Tayrona; the ruins of Ciudad Perdida; San Andres Island; Taganga, famous as a fishermans village; Parque Tayrona National park; Parque Tayrona, where you can spend a week in a hammock at the beach; and Minca.
Try learning some Salsa dancing in Cali, known for its salsa music and incredible parties.
If you are the adventurous type, go trekking at Villa de Leyva, or plan a stay in a jungle lodge in the deep Amazon rainforest.
There are some great carnivals in the months of January and February. The Barranquilla carnival is the most famous here.
Eating here would be a different experience altogether. At the coast you can eat a lot of fried fish with arroz de coco. There are many exotic fruits that you have never heard of.
