Colombia at a Glance
Colombia has rapidly become one of the most exciting travel destinations in Latin America and the world.
Five Distinct Regions
Known as the world’s second most biodiverse country, Colombia’s allure comes from its five distinct regions. From the azure waters, tropical forests, and deserts of the Caribbean Coast to the wild beaches and lush jungles of the Pacific Coast, Colombia offers a stunning variety of landscapes.
You can explore the emerald green mountains and snowcapped peaks of the Andes, the vast wetlands and savannas of Los Llanos, or the world’s largest rainforest in the Amazon. It’s a destination with a bit of everything!
Each region in Colombia boasts its own unique culture, complete with distinctive cuisine, handcrafted arts, architecture, traditions, dances, and musical rhythms. This cultural diversity is why Colombia is known as the Land of a Thousand Rhythms.
Multiple Countries within One
Since the historic peace agreement in 2016, Colombia has transformed into a vibrant, safe, and fun destination, earning its place as one of the top gastronomic spots in Latin America.
The stark contrasts between destinations make it feel like you’re traveling through multiple countries within one. True travelers always fall in love with Colombia and its warm, welcoming people. So, don’t be afraid—the only risk is wanting to stay.
