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.

    Coffee

  • 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.
