Colombia – Warm, Colorful & Honestly a Little Addictive

Colombia is one of those places that surprises almost everyone who visits. A country that once carried a heavy reputation is now full of life, music, and some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet. It’s vibrant, chaotic in a fun way, and ridiculously beautiful – from Caribbean beaches to misty mountain towns.

Places You’ll Probably Fall in Love With

Medellín

It’s hard to believe this city was once off-limits. Today, Medellín feels modern, creative, and full of energy.

  • Ride the cable cars for incredible valley views
  • Wander around Comuna 13, now famous for its street art and upbeat vibe

Cartagena

A postcard in real life. Seriously.

  • The Old Town looks like it was painted by someone obsessed with bright colors
  • Gorgeous Caribbean beaches
  • Sunset spots that make you want to stay forever

Bogotá

The capital has a totally different personality – a mix of history, cool cafes, and city buzz.

  • La Candelaria for colonial streets and graffiti art
  • The Gold Museum (way more interesting than it sounds)
  • A great coffee scene

Cocora Valley

If you like nature, this will blow you away.

  • Home to the tallest palm trees on the planet
  • Some of the most beautiful hikes in South America

Hidden Corners That Most Tourists Miss

  • Minca – peaceful mountains, waterfalls, and lovely coffee farms
  • Guatapé – bright, cheerful lakeside town with the iconic rock climb
  • Barichara – a sleepy colonial village that feels frozen in time
  • San Andrés – turquoise waters and perfect beach days

Is It Safe?

Colombia is much safer today, especially for travellers.
Just stick to:

  • well-reviewed neighborhoods
  • using Uber or trusted taxis
  • avoiding unnecessary wandering late at night

Do that, and you’ll feel pretty comfortable.

What You Should Eat
