Colombia 

Planning to visit us? First of all, get rid of all your prejudices. If something should be said about Colombians and Colombia, it is that everything here is done passionately: living, partying and arguing. "Intense" might be a word that describes not only 35'000.0000 warm hearted people but that also applies to the whole of experiencing Colombia: the lavish green of the amazon, the deep blue of both our oceans and one of the most exhuberant and diverse fauna and flora in the planet.

Colombia is a country for "travellers" more than tourists; if you are willing to spend some days babbling spanish, dealing with a diferent perception of time and marvelling yourself at a country full of contradictions, this is your place. In spite of being a tropical country Colombia's weather is not the same across the territory: don't be fooled by a flat map and be prepared to visit a cold capital city 2.600 mt above the sea level, or the extense warm valley of the Magdalena river 300 mts above the sea level (only 150 km away). Geographical variety also implies cultural richness, which added to our colonial history results in a society where, racial, ideological and cultural ends meet. "En Colombia hay de todo para todos."

Cali
The capital of Salsa. This is a must for every Salsero!

Popayan
La ciudad blanca is one of the most beautiful places in Colombia.

Ciudad Perdida
Ciudad Perdida is the lost city of the Tayrones, located in a very beautiful national park the city can be reached in a five day trek from Santa Marta.

Cartagena
Cartegena is the pearl of the Carribean. It was popular with bucaneers and pireates such as Sir Francis Drake, and if you go there you will find out why.

Bogota
Bogota, the capital, is really worth a visit. The Museo de Oro is a must-see.
