Colombia Tavel Guide

In every respect, Colombia is a great destination; except for the violence which has submerged the country in a frightening reign of terror. Despite the problems, thousands of tourists do still dare to descend on the capital, Bogota, the legendary resort town of Cartagena, and the duty-free offshore island province of San Andres, in particular. Most have an intriguing, exciting and trouble-free visit, usually organized on a package tour basis.

Urban Colombia was the pre-Columbian capital of the Chibcha Indians and remains a blend of old and new, teeming with Spanish colonial buildings and plazas alongside modern skyscrapers. Cartagena is the Spanish colonial port of Colombia with its spectacular walled old town, a medieval wonderland of palaces, monasteries, plazas and overhanging balconies. The Los Katios National Park in Choco contains hundreds of species of plant and animal life that have yet to be listed. The country’s jungles also hide wondrous archaeological treasures, like the ancient city of La Cuida Perdida and the monuments, tombs and burial mounds at San Augustin and Tierrodentro.
