There are few countries where landscape changes so rapidly. Holidays in Colombia offer a fascinating mix of dazzling blue Caribbean coast and the icy peaks of the Andes.Situated in South America, Colombia is bounded to the north by the Caribbean and Venezuela, and shares borders with Ecuador, Peru and Brazil. Colombia is not so much a country of the unexpected as the misunderstood (it’s rare that a positive story emerges about it in the Western press). The country has not been fully tamed by tourism and this makes for an intensely interesting place to see and experience if you’re not a fan of simple ‘flop and drop’ holidays. With its Gold Museum in Bogotá, the walled city of Cartagena, countryside of rich velvet greens and nature reserves such as Parque Tayrona with its unspoilt beaches, holidays in Colombia could have been designed to order for soft adventure fanatics.
