ADD TO LIST
Unfairly associated with the drug trade and violence committed by a minority of the population, Colombia nevertheless has a lot of fascinating sites to explore and friendly people to interact with. While there, it is still prudent to exercise caution in some areas, particularly in the capital city of Bogotà and in the cities of Cali and Medellin, but don’t let that interfere with your appreciation of the country. In the north coast, Cartagena is a picturesque UNESCO World Heritage site and seaport, featuring historical fortresses and monuments, beautifully restored homes and plazas. For some surf, head to Playa Blanca, or go to San Andrés and Providencia to dive in the Seaflower Biosphere Reserve. Raft the rapids in Rio Negro, or climb snow-capped volcanoes. If you are in Bogotà, visit the regions of Zona Rosa and La Candelaria to see the Capitol congress building, the Capilla del Sangrario cathedral and the Plaza Bolivar square. For a taste of vibrant cities, contrasts between soaring skyscrapers and historical towns, festive energy and salsa dancing, Colombia is a good bet.

Travel Tips from people who've been to Colombia
0103Armenia is one small city but has a lot of things to do right here. It's 45 mins away from Bogota by plane, and almost 6 hours by car. It's located in the Departamento del Quindio, west of Colombia. U can find the National Coffee Park 30 mins away from Armenia in Montenegro. It's a really interesting theme park where u can learn all bout the coffee and the region... After that u can go to PANACA, and experience being with farm animals. If u come here u'll have to go find kayaking in the rapids, and maybe practice some Canopy. Don't forget to try the richest coffee in the World and enjoy the beautiful landscapes and the red dusks....U can ask about staying in the countryside or in the city where u can find a lot of hotels depending on ur budget.
