Colombia


Colombia is a South American country with 1,000 miles of coast to the north along the Caribbean Sea and 800 miles to the west along the Pacific Ocean. Its broken, rugged terrain, paired with its location near the Equator, are a perfect storm for diverse climates, vegetation and crops including Colombiaโ€™s beloved, coffee (the most delicious said to be found in the capital city of Bogotรก).

The country is also home to unmatched natural beauty, like Cocora Valley where you can hike among 200-foot-tall wax palms, poisonous mushrooms and delicate hummingbirds. Medellรญn is a vibrantly green oasis known for its pleasant climate, fertile soil and variety of flowers. The port city of Cartagenaโ€™s Old Town dates back to the 16th century, filled with cobblestone streets and colorful colonial buildings. And if thatโ€™s not enough, Colombia is also celebrated for its rich history of writers, poets, artists and musicians. 

A vibrant South American nation known for its rich culture. Colombia is filled with lively music, colorful art and beautiful women, paired with lush biodiverse landscapes, plant and animal life. Plus, the coffee is among the best in the world!
