Colombia
Perched on the northern tip of the Andes Mountains, Colombia borders Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru and Brazil. With Caribbean and Pacific coastlines, tropical paradise islands, mountains rising abruptly from the Ocean, temperate highland interior and rich Amazonian rain forest, the country offers a stunning range of destinations and travel opportunities.
Together with the relics of a fascinating pre-Columbian history, Colombia proudly displays its Spanish Colonial architecture and culture. World Heritage site of Cartagena de Indias is one of the finest and best-preserved colonial cities in the Americas, and a worthy location setting for recent European and Hollywood period movies.
