Travel to Colombia - raw and pure

Colombia is raw, it has passion, and the country is certainly pure. The country offers a wide array of atmospheres, from bustling Bogata, to beautiful Medellin the amazon jungle with pink dolphins and lush rainforest to the amazing salsa rhytms of Cali, and the fascinating diving of the backpacker paradise Taganga. You have to be a bit careful in Columbia at times, but it is a beautiful and fascinating country!

Bogota - the capital of Colombia

Bogota is not only a city of extremes, but especially a city without limits. When driving from South to North in Bogata you will move through extreme poverty to middleclass lifestyle and to extreme wealth within an hour. The amount of street sellers with at least five mobile phones hanging around their neck, trying to sell you ‘minutes’ is insane. In a country with an economy that mainly exists of an informal sector, the streets are always crowded. Don’t get us wrong, Bogota is where it all happens! Grab lunch for a euro, have your clothes sewn by old ladies, or visit one of the luxurious shopping malls. Then enter the elevator and step out at the 43rd floor: Walk into one of the best electro bars and discover Bogota by night from the roof terrace!

Medellin - the city of plastic surgery 

The second famous city of Colombia is also called the city of plastic surgery. Besides of this, Medellin is the city of birth of Colombia’s well-known artist Botero. Next to a museum, you will find many of his statues on the streets. Backpacker hostels are situated in the middle of the party area, cheap, but often very luxurious. Do not be shocked when the ordered drinks come in litre bottles! Still have some energy left in the morning? Go paragliding over the valley and discover the city from a whole new perspective.

Cali - the city of salsa

When in Medellin all women are pursuing the beauty ideal, in Cali all women are mainly dancing, as this is the city of salsa. Do you like dancing? Do you want to learn salsa? Then simply do not visit Cali. Everybody is welcome on the dance floor and the Caleños love to give some free lessons!

Play with monkeys, go fishing for piranhas, sail in the only area in the world where you can find pink dolphins, visit indigenous people speaking their own language, walk with a machete through the jungle - experience it all in the Amazon in Colombia.
