Colombia is the place to be right now. It’s on nearly every travellers radar these days, and for good reason. Forget Narcos and the era of Pablo Escobar. The Colombia of today is a playground for backpackers, luxury tourists and digital nomads alike.
Head up to the pristine Caribbean coastline of the north. Spend a few days in relaxing on palm fringed, white sand beaches and nearly deserted islands. Wander the streets of Cartagena, where colourful and stunning colonial architecture meet a modern glass skyline.
If Colombia is known for one (legal) export, it’s their outstanding coffee. And the incredible landscape and vibes of the coffee-growing region are equally as impressive as what they produce. No visit to Colombia is complete without spending at least a few days in one of these laid-back towns.
Colombia also has some of the most exciting and vibrant cities in the region. Although one could easily set up for the long-haul in Bogota, many people don’t spend a lot of time. If you’re in that camp, be sure to at least take in the highlights.
And then there’s Medellin. We spent a month in Medellin and completely fell in love with it. There are so many great activities that even in the time we spent, we barely scratched the surface. Even if you’re on a budget, there are some fantastic free and cheap options.
While in Medellin, you must visit Comuna 13. Once the most dangerous part of the country, it’s undergone some incredible changes in recent years. And finally, only two hours away, is the stunning town of Guatape, one of the most colourful cities in the world!
