Discover Colombia

Colombia is one of the most vibrant and surprising destinations in South America. A country that encompasses mountains, paradisiacal beaches, lush jungles and colonial cities that breathe history. With warm hospitality and rich culture, Colombia enchants travelers seeking authentic experiences, outstanding cuisine, and an itinerary full of discoveries.

Main cities and regions

Bogota

The country's capital, located at an altitude of more than 2,600 meters, combines cosmopolitan air with history and tradition. In the charming neighborhood of La Candelaria, travelers will find colonial streets and must-see museums, such as the Gold Museum and the Botero Museum. Bogotá is also renowned for its vibrant food scene and intense cultural life.

Cartagena de Indias

One of the most iconic destinations in Colombia, Cartagena enchants with its historic center surrounded by walls, colorful colonial houses, lively squares and an unforgettable sunset on the edge of the Caribbean. It's a romantic city, perfect both for couples and for travelers seeking culture and history.

Medellin

Known as the “city of eternal spring”, Medellín surprises with its urban transformation. Today, it is a hub of innovation, with parks, museums and cable cars that connect neighborhoods to mountains. In addition, it is the birthplace of reggaeton music and Paisa culture, which strongly values local traditions.

Eixo Cafeeiro (Eje Coffee Maker)

Formed by the cities of Manizales, Pereira and Armenia, the Coffee Axis is a region of breathtaking landscapes, coffee plantations and small charming villages. It's the ideal place to experience the cultivation of Colombian coffee up close and enjoy lush nature.

San Andrés and Providencia

For those seeking sun and sea, the archipelago of San Andrés and Providencia, in the Colombian Caribbean, offers beaches with crystal clear waters, ideal for diving and relaxation. The famous “sea of seven colors” is a separate spectacle.

Gastronomy

Colombian cuisine is a celebration of the country's diversity. Each region has its own flavors and typical dishes. Among the highlights are:

• Ajiaco: potato soup with chicken, corn and herbs, traditional from Bogotá.

• Paisa tray: hearty and tasty dish with rice, beans, meat, egg, chorizo and plantain.

• Arepas: versatile corn rolls, served in different versions around the country.

• Tropical fruits: Colombia has one of the largest varieties of fruits in the world, often unknown outside the country.

In addition, the coffee tradition is a chapter in its own right — be sure to sample Colombian coffee at an authentic hacienda.

Culture and tradition

Colombia is a land of music, dance, and festivities. The country is the birthplace of rhythms such as cumbia, vallenato and salsa, which encompass both local festivals and major events. Fairs and carnivals are moments in which popular culture is manifested in full force — especially the Barranquilla Carnival, one of the largest and most colorful in the world.

Plastic arts and crafts are also of great relevance. The country is renowned for its ceramics, Wayuu backpack weaving, and contemporary art, represented internationally by names like Fernando Botero.

Best time to visit

Colombia is a destination that can be visited all year round, thanks to its varied climate. However, the most suitable periods are:

• December to March: dry season, ideal for visiting Cartagena, Bogotá and the Coffee Axis.

• July and August: another good dry weather window in several regions.

• For San Andrés and Providencia, prefer the months outside the peak of the Caribbean hurricane season (avoid September and October).
