Colombia has rhythm in its blood. It is a country that makes you vibrate with its emotions, where you can choose the destination of your choice.
In its 1,141,748 km² of surface you can find landscapes as different as Andean peaks, virgin Caribbean coast, Amazon rainforest, archaeological ruins and colonial cities.
Colombia has everything for your ideal trip. You can enjoy adventure, cultural, community, gastronomic, meeting tourism and much more with the diversity of this country.
Colombia offers a wide range of travel experiences, from the huge virgin beaches with sea turtles and humpback whales in Buenaventura to the immensely diverse green heart of the country of ancient forests, colossal skies and thundering waterfalls, Colombia awaits you with a travel style to suit you.
It doesn’t matter if you plan to visit the Atacama Desert for 2 days or for more than 15! It is a destination so rich in experiences that it adapts to you perfectly. Whether to get up at dawn to enjoy the spectacle starring the steam fumaroles from the craters of El Tatio as soon as the sun rises, or contemplate the strange rock formations and dunes of the Valle de la Luna, Valle de Marte and the Cordillera de la Salt.
Covering a vast area of 1,141,748 km² (440,829 sq miles), Colombia is the fourth largest country in the world, after Canada, the United States, and Brazil.
Its borders connect with neighboring nations and oceanic expanses. To the north, it shares borders with the Caribbean coastline and Venezuela. The east of Colombia borders Brazil and the south and west meet Ecuador and Peru. The Pacific Ocean lies to the west.
Colombia has a wide range of landscapes, including the stunning Andes Mountains dominating the western side and the fertile Cundiboyacense Plateau in the heartland. The landscape in Colombia is rich with variety. To the east lies the Amazon Rainforest, while the Caribbean coastline boasts paradise-like, tropical surroundings.
From snow-capped peaks to thriving rainforests, Colombia’s terrain is an enchanting tapestry.
One of the most surprising things about Colombia is the unchanging nature of its climate all year round. This is because the country is located on the Equator, which means the sun rises and sets at the same time all year round and the season stays the same, unlike almost every other country in the world. There are just two seasons: dry & rainy. The topographical diversity of Colombia provides a huge variety of landscapes, biodiversity and thermal floors.
