Colombia has been emerging from the dark shadow of its reputation into one of Latin America’s brightest stars.  It borders both the Pacific and the Caribbean and travelers encounter a huge range of amazing landscapes and ecosystems: vast tropical plains, cloudforested mountains, Amazon rainforest, tropical beaches and snowcapped Andean summits. Colombia’s varied terrain is an exciting playground for adventurers who come to Colombia to climb, hike and practice all other kinds of outdoor activities. Fans of history and archaeology will be impressed by Colombia’s gorgeous colonial cities and archaeological ruins like the famous Lost City  and the Zona Cafetera is home to some of the world’s best coffee. Colombia is also a birding paradise as it is the country with most bird species on the planet and a wonderful place to spot diverse wildlife.
