Colombia is probably my favourite south american country for travel. The reason for this is that it offers a great variety of things to do. From trekking in the andes to surfing on the pacific coast or snorkeling on carribean beaches there’s something to do for everyone. Colombia’s people are incredibly friendly and their easy-going lifestyle will surely get you in the mood for relaxation.
Colombia had and still has a reputation for drug related crime and guerilla troops terrorizing people. This unfortunately for the colombians is true in some regions but usually doesn’t affect tourists – or at least I didn’t feel affected.
