Ever since FARC and the cartels put down their weapons and Colombia opened it’s doors to tourists, it has been a backpacker favorite.
And for good reason.
Few countries can offer balmy Caribbean coastlines, vibrant historic cities, rugged mountains, dense jungle treks, and modern metropolis’ all within their borders. But Colombia can.
Perhaps because the country is HUGE. During the planning stage, it can be a bit overwhelming. How are you to decide which region to visit?
My guide has got you covered.
Recently, I’ve been working with Other Way Round to highlight the natural wonders of Colombia and answer this very question. Helping simplify planning for others mapping out their dream trip to Colombia.
Other Way Round organizes group tours for adventurous 25-45 year old travelers looking to link up and explore the country together.
Because yes, it’s a massive country. But between air travel and land travel, it’s easy to get around. During my month of traveling through Colombia, I just touched on each region. And I could have EASILY spent a few more months diving deeper. (But don’t worry, I’ll definitely be back one day.)
I know the average traveler doesn’t have the luxury of limitless time. So I condensed the country into 8 must-see cities. 8 cities that all portray a different aspect of Colombian life and culture. This way the average traveler can get the full picture of Colombia.
Given about 3 weeks in the country, these are the top 8 destinations in Colombia you can’t miss.
- Cartagena. Colombia’s Soulful City.
- Minca. Lush jungle isolation.
- Palomino. A hippy beach haven.
- Medellin. Expat city stuck in an eternal spring.
- Guatape. A Crayola-colored pueblo.
- Salento. The coffee region.
- Bogota. A gritty mountain metropolis.
- Leticia, Amazonas. Smack-dab in the Amazon rainforest.
