Tailor-made Colombia: Introduction

Malachy O'Neill, Latin America Specialist The thing that surprised me most of all was how safe Colombia now feels after just a few years of political stability. Go and see for yourself before everyone else does!

Colombia is the only South American country with both Caribbean and Pacific coastlines. It boasts three Andean ranges running from north to south, dividing the low lying plantations in the east from the western coastal regions.

The most pleasant times to visit Colombia is in the dry season, between December and March or in July and August. This gem of Latin America is the world’s largest exporter of emeralds and produces unbeatable coffee.
