Colombia is a country full of surprises. The capital Bogota is an unprecedented example of South American passion while the interiors overwhelm you with jungles and rainforests. The country is, of course, best known for its drug history. Especially in the 90s, drug lord Escobar provided many exciting newspaper articles. Meanwhile, the Colombian government has somewhat more control over the fight against cocaine trafficking. Groups such as FARC are also still dealt with harshly on a daily basis. You don't have to be afraid to travel to Colombia. For the adventurous traveler, it is a fascinating country, with overwhelming nature and a country that has not yet been spoiled by tourism. Keep an eye on which regions require increased alertness.

Bogota and Cartagena

Bogota is the chaotic center of the Colombian country. With its many universities, entertainment districts, shops and busy roads, Bogota shows a dazzling face. Keep in mind that the suburbs are mainly home to the poor Colombians who have no money to make. Colombia has a few more cities that have mainly gained name recognition due to their drug history, such as Medellin and Cali. The port city of Cartagena is a gem among Colombian cities. The port city carries with it a colonial past that can be seen on every street corner.

Colombian nature

In the coastal towns and on the paradisiacal islands there are stunning white beaches, while the Andes mountains are the epitome of Colombian ruggedness. Yet it is mainly the rainforests that amaze everyone with their diversity of flora and fauna. vamos!
