Colombia has recently gained a reputation of a great travel destination.
Some areas of the country are as safe as London or Paris. But if you venture too far, you can end up in an area that is still unsuitable for tourists.
So let’s have a look at some safe travel destinations in Colombia.
Cartagena
Wander through the pathways that wind their way around still stunningly beautiful city and take a cool drink at one of sophisticated cafes that you are sure to see across. Cartagena, a UNESCO world heritage site, is one of Colombia’s gems. A mix of the old world charm and the new world sophistication, Cartagena is a place where cutting edge fashion sits next to horse drawn carriages.
Medellin
Medellin is Colombia’s party city. The stunning colonial architecture and “eternal spring” climate make Medellin a pleasant and pretty place to spend a day in, whilst its night life turns up the heat with beautiful people and glamorous clubs. The surrounding mountain scenery, in its turn, makes Medellin one of the most picturesque cities in Latin America.
Parque Tayrona, Santa Marta
Santa Marta is a hammock strewn national park that is widely regarded as one of the top tourist destinations due to its extreme natural beauty. Accommodation comes in the form of rustic wooden cabanas or rented hammocks. Alternatively, many visitors choose to stay in the neighboring fishing village of Taganga, which has a number of hostels.
Leticia
The Colombian gateway to the Amazon, Leticia is a small jungle town, which acts as a base for rainforest tours, where you can catch and eat piranhas, spot pink river dolphins and stalk anacondas through waist high swamp reeds. The only way to arrive at remote Leticia is to fly from Bogota.
Follow the above mentioned top tourist destinations, enjoy Colombia and be sure to return safe and secure.
