Colombia has made it to the 2021 list of friendliest countries around the world and that’s just one extra reason to visit this country beyond its breathtaking natural landmarks, culture, food, and, yes, coffee. If you’re planning a trip to Colombia and are confused about where to start, here are 3 Colombian regions you shouldn’t miss.
The Greater Colombian Caribbean
As the name suggests the influence of the Caribbean is prominent in the region. A few spots you don’t want to miss are the romantic port of Cartagena, Barranquilla, and Isla del Rosario, home to the largest coral fish in the area.
The Western Colombian Andes
This region is known to produce what many regard as the best coffee in the world. The city of Pereira encapsulates the atmosphere of this region perfectly. It’s a perfect mix of modern and traditional and has a vibrant nightlife scene.
The Eastern Colombian Andes
This region is home to Colombia’s capital Bogota. Full of amazing food markets selling fresh produce, street art, and history, Bogota is rapidly growing and developing. If you’re keen to get away from the city, the surrounding area is full of beautiful natural landscapes. You can check out some of the extraordinary vineyards just outside of Bogota which operate in the traditional way.
