Overview

Colombia

With many places that need to be discovered, Colombia has got everything for people who want to escape from the everyday crown and want to spend some times in the company of natural beauty. Vibrant modern and ancient cities, sky touching buildings, elegant port towns, simple balconies and well-known national parks, there are many things to attract you. This is what the beautiful and diverse country is all about. You can even try cruise boats, party buses and late-night salsa dancing and glorious shopping malls to make your stay in Colombia more memorable. It also houses some of the best health care centers and universities in South America.

Colombia is the only country that falls in South America with coastlines on both the North Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea. Situated to the south of Panama, it keeps a check to the land access between Central and South America. With Panama to the north, the country has Venezuela to the east, Brazil to the southeast, Ecuador and Peru to the south west. The coastal and eastern plain region have a tropical climate, while it is bit cold in the highlands. However, as Colombia is an equatorial country, it basically does not have a variety of season. Temperatures do not vary much throughout the year.

There are regular international flights that connect the major cities like Bogota, Medellin, Cali, Barranquilla, Cartagena, Pereira and San Andres Islands with the rest of the world. There are direct flights daily from the U.S, Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, Spain, France and South America. Ideal time to visit Colombia is December and March or July and August, especially if you prefer hiking. During this time frame you get a better chance to catch the local cultural events, as many festivals and fiestas take place during this time. From deep forests to hilly mountains, scary volcanoes to sunny beaches, bays and unexplored islands, you will get to see everything during your stay in Colombia.
