Travel to Colombia travel
With its Caribbean beaches, snow-capped Andean mountain peaks, lush rainforests and national parks, Colombia offers something for all types of tourist. Colombia's varied and wonderful scenery deserves acknowledgment: Andean peaks, tropical beaches, dense rain forests sitting 3,000 feet above sea level. Besides the fascination of nature, the country's main cities are experiencing a renaissance in food, art, and technology—and it's one of the most affordable places for Americans to visit at present. It’s one of the best countries in the earth to meet the locals and the people are some of the warmest and friendliest you will ever meet.
Diving in Colombia
Colombia is home to some of the most wonderful dive sites in the globe, including the world’s third largest coral reef barrier. The Island of Malpelo in the Pacific offers truly superb dives, where you can see an incredible number of hammerheads and silky sharks, in addition to the ever-impressive humpback whale (in season). Isla de Providencia is a little-visited destination out in the Caribbean. Isla de Providencia has amazingly clear water and is a superb alternative to the extremely popular San Andreas. The reefs are excellent here, and the wall dives are some of the best in the Caribbean. There are also a few stellar wreck dives at Isla d Providencia.
