Colombia

Home to diverse landscapes, energetic cities and outstanding beaches, it’s easy to see why Colombia is becoming ever more popular. The lush jungle interior is home to coffee plantations, archeological relics and a diverse range of native wildlife, whilst the Andes mountain range forms the backbone of the country and offers some stunning scenery. The capital city of Bogota is a vibrant hub of the country, whilst the colonial history of the country can be observed in the beautiful city of Cartagena. The Tayrona National Park is also an essential stop on any Colombian itinerary, containing native villages and wonderful beaches where you can enjoy the delightful azure waters of the Caribbean.
