Colombia
Travelers to Colombia find cities, both historic and modern, beaches on both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, colonial towns, archaeological sites, world-renowned coffee, and a landscape that ranges from seashore to forest and mountains. Colombia’s Los Nevados national park in the heart of the Andes includes glaciers, cloud forests, and plains. Colombia’s fascinating cities include Medellin, Cartagena, coastal Barranquilla, and Bogotá, with its funicular up to Cerro de Monserrate and the fascinating Gold Museum’s collection from pre-Hispanic cultures.
