Colombia

With the country’s political situation and image improving greatly in recent years, Colombia is fast becoming known as one of the most exciting destinations in Latin America.

Why Colombia?

The cities and landscapes are wonderful, but it is perhaps the warmth and friendliness of Colombia’s people that will remain longest in the memory; they are proud of their country and excited to share it with you. Colombia also has a rich and interesting history. The region was home to many pre-Hispanic cultures, including the Incas, prior to the arrival of the Spanish Conquistadors, all of whom have left their mark on the country.

Five Reasons to Visit Colombia.

Colombia Tourism

In two decades, Medellín went from being called “the most dangerous city on earth” to “the most innovative city in the world”, thanks to an astonishing transformation that turned the city into one of South America’s biggest success stories. Colombia continues to grow in popularity amongst tourists, as they put the country’s past behind them and realise how much it has to offer in terms of scenery, culture, history, food and people. Colombia is often overshadowed by South America’s more famous attractions: Machu Picchu, Patagonia and the Galapagos to name a few, making a visit here even more special and authentic, with fewer people to share it with.
