To discover Colombia is to meet a welcoming people, born of a mixture of Amerindian, European and African cultures, who live in a country full of contrasts. The mix of pre-Hispanic, African and Spanish cultures, merged in the Republic and modernity, make Colombia a territory where heritage is striking; architecture of the big cities mixing skyscrapers and colonial houses, archaeological remains of pre-Columbian civilizations, Amerindian villages along the rivers or in the mountains... Colombia is a mosaic of peoples and conceals many treasures. Between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, between its three majestic Andean Cordilleras where green valleys and eternal snows mingle, between the gigantic Amazon and the wild plains of the Orinoco... Colombia concentrates all the landscapes and climates of South America and hosts the greatest biodiversity in the world, just after Brazil. A trek in Colombia is therefore unforgettable. The communion with nature is easy, so many virgin zones of any human presence are numerous. Cordilleras with green valleys, snow-covered peaks, the immense llanos (flood plains) of the east, the powerful rivers, the wild beaches of the Pacific are so many places where nature imposes itself. In rural areas, traditional farms are increasingly turning to agro-tourism, welcoming foreigners in search of green pastures and authentic peasant culture. And in Colombia, the variety of terrain allows the practice of many water, air and land sports. The surroundings of Cali, Medellín or San Gil attract lovers of paragliding, mountain biking and rafting. Climbers will put their boots on the cliffs of Suesca and mountaineers will have the choice between several Andean peaks at over 5,000 m. The sea bed, coral or volcanic, will delight divers. A mask and a snorkel are enough to observe an unforgettable spectacle, all the more so as the water temperature is pleasant everywhere. Finally, the Amazon and the little-known Eastern Llanos offer incredible adventures, on foot, by bicycle or in dugout canoes.
We will also explore its electrifyingly frenetic cities, lush jungles, golden beaches, coffee hills, overgrown rivers, forgotten colonial villages, wild rhythms, and you can't help but share the smiles, energy, enthusiasm and Colombian joie de vivre. An overwhelming mix of music, human warmth, adventures, landscapes from the other side of the world, cultural diversity, spirituality, traditions and modernity: everything you need for an unforgettable trip. Whether it is during the Holy Week processions, the Barranquilla carnival, or the festivities in the squares to the sounds of the orchestras, the Colombian joie de vivre is palpable at every moment. Colombia loves dancing, singing, getting drunk! The hospitality, enthusiasm, spontaneity and good humour of Colombians are generally what one remembers most about a trip to Colombia
