Destination Information

Colombia is a diverse and exciting place to visit, from sun-kissed Blue Flag Carribbean beaches to coffee-rich, emerald-green hilltops in the Zona Cafetera. The bustling capital city of Bogotá is the third-highest capital city in the world, with lush grasslands at its lowest point and snow-capped mountains at its highest. San Gil is regarded as the adventure capital of Colombia, where you can dive, climb, raft, trek and soar the day away, with jungle walks to the ancient ruins of the Tayrona civilization a thrill-seekers highlight.
