Reasons To
Visit Colombia

  • Beaches

    From the rugged, tropical paradise of Tayrona National Park, backed by equitorial rainforest, to the beautiful white-sand beaches of San Andres and Providencia, Colombia offers a wide range of beautiful beach options, although the accommodation options can be somewhat limited!

    Beaches
  • Coffee

    Synonymous with Colombia, coffee has been exported from Colombia for around 200 years. The Zona Cafetera is becoming something of an attraction, with visitors tasting coffee at traditional fincas. As well as the coffee, the region is geographically stunning with spectacular panoramas of rolling hillsides, lush fertile vallets and quaint colonial villages.

  • Colonial architecture

    Whilst most renowned in the fortified city of Cartagena, there are fine examples of colonial architecture spanning Colombia from the historical La Candelaria in Bogota and Villa de Leyva to the pretty villages in the coffee region.

  • It's safe

    Despite having developed a reputation that may deter visitors from travelling, Colombia has entered a period of relative stability. It is now without doubt one our favourite destinations for a diverse and enthralling experience, albeit one for those with an adventurous spirit and a desire to see somewhere off the beaten track.

Cartagena

The Sofitel Santa Clara is an elegant combination of the past and present.

The Convent originates from the seventeenth century when it was inhabited by Clarisas nuns. The building is a beautiful example of Spanish Colonial architecture and many of its original features have been preserved to this day.

The rooms have views over the Caribbean Ocean, the ancient city of Cartagena or the peaceful internal courtyard and gardens.

The hotel has a restaurant with refined and authentic cuisine and the bar is built over an ancient crypt which was the inspiration to Gabriel Garcia Marquez's novel "Of Love and other Demons".
