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.

Do that, and you’ll feel pretty comfortable.
