A great vibrant country waiting to be fully discovered! Colorful buses known as Chivas, the traditional form of rural transportation, and Salsa dancing till the wee hours of the morning is why Colombia is so vibrant! Bogota, the capital, is a metropolitan city with shopping elegancy as well as some of the best universities in South America. Cartagena stands out with its colored houses, tropical climate, and bougainvilleas pouring over the sides of balconies and walls. On your visit, you must stop to see the Islas del Rosario with an array of scuba diving options and snorkeling in the turquoise waters. If you are interested in going back in time, the Museo del Oro has recovered artifacts from all cultures and eras dating back as far as 500 years before Christ until the Spanish Conquest. La Zona Cafetera provides some of the best coffee. It is worth mentioning the fame that comes to the country from recognized artists such as Fernando Botero known for his paintings and sculptures, and Gabriel García Marquez, the Nobel Prize winner for literature.
