Why visit Colombia? Interesting facts and history

Colombia is one of the best beach destinations in the world. It’s coastline is more than 3000 km long and faces the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean sea. The capital is a great place to learn about history and the colonial era in the Americas. Colombia was colonized by Spain, so 99% of Colombians speak Spanish but they also speak 65 Amerindian and 2 Creole languages. Colombia shares borders with Panama, Venezuela, Brazil, Ecuador and Peru, being a great place to start backpacking in Latin America.

What kind of tourism can one do in Colombia?

From pubs to clubs, Bogotá offers an intense nightlife. The view from Monserrate Cathedral is another good reason to visit the capital of Colombia. Another major city for tourism in Colombia is the cosmopolitan Medellin. But Colombia is not only for urban travelers. The country is covered by 10% of the Amazon Rainforest. So if you enjoy eco travel, Tayrona National Park might be your perfect first destination in the country.
