5 Unforgettable Places To Visit In Colombia

August 17, 2021 by kevinwilkerson Leave a Comment

Colombia is not only a stunning place to live in but also a big-time leader of mining and energy exports. It is one of the finest vacation spots on the planet as well. If you are considering a vacation in this country, you may well have heard a lot about how foreigners can’t seem to take their gaze away from Colombian girls.

Aside from the attractive Colombian women, the country is also home to many breathtaking tourist attractions. Colombia’s many regions have their distinct characteristics and flourishing natural ecosystems varying from a fantastic multitude of animals and naturally beautiful places to visit. So whether you prefer to laze about in tranquility, hike across beautiful mountainous regions, or explore a historical waterfall, Colombia has a ton of things to offer. Some of these places are the following:

Colombian town

Medellín

Medellín, formerly known for its violent gangs, cartels, and drug trafficking, has undergone transformation. It is currently a thriving place for visitors looking for an educational and culturally enriching vacation. Medellín emerges majestically from the bowels of the Aburrá Valley.

The region’s spectacular habitat provides an ideal backdrop for hiking, horseback riding, and zip wiring.  The Piedra del Penol, also known as El Peñon de Guatapé, begins with a tour into the lush forest, followed by a 740-step climb to the summit. It is an excursion within a journey that pays you with breathtaking sights.

Bogotá

About 2,600 meters above sea level in Colombia’s center lies Bogotá. This giant metropolis has over 10 million people. Bogotá has nearly ideal weather, with typical temperatures ranging between 9 to 23°C year-round.

Bogotá has many distinct districts, such as the historic center, known as ‘La Candelaria,’ the downtown commercial sector, and various contemporary and affluent suburbs. Getting about is very simple and cheap because of the city’s unique TransMilenio metro bus system. Some of the sights that stand out in the town include:

  • La Candelaria’s colonial-themed architecture
  • The Gold Museum, which houses a broad selection of pre-Colombian gold art
  • Display from the Monastery of Monserrate, which overlooks Bogotá
  • The Botanic Gardens, which also are a replica of a small national park

If you’re searching for the finest emeralds people can afford, don’t waste your time shopping anywhere other than Bogotá. The country of Columbia produces more than 90 percent of the world’s highest-quality gemstones. With the capital city of Bogotá being near the two areas with the best emerald mines, Cundinamarca and Boyácá, the options available to you while going on emerald shopping sprees are breathtaking.

Colombian valley

Valle de Cocora

Walking through the foggy, emerald green Valle de Cocora, which borders the downtown of Colombia’s Parque Nacional Natural Los Nevados, is a must-do on every traveler’s itinerary to the country. Visiting the Valle de Cocora may entail taking rides on horseback or long walks through breathtaking spacious ravines and surreal Palma de Cera pastures. Colombia is home to the tallest type of palm tree on earth.

The Palma de Cera is also known as Colombia’s national tree. It may grow to about 60 meters (197 feet), turning the Valle de Cocora into a magnificent hiking experience. Although the path may be challenging (especially after significant rainfall), farmers and hikers will often assist you through the route.

Minca

Hiking paths, organic coffee farms, a variety of colorful birdlife, and beautiful waterfalls make Minca a sanctuary for outdoor enthusiasts. Some of the mountain paths provide breathtaking views of both Colombia’s great diversity and the snowy peaks of the Sierra Nevada on one side and the beautiful white sands of the Caribbean on the other. The stunning natural surroundings of Minca are the city’s most notable attractions. Although it is a tiny town, there is a lot to explore.

The Marinka Waterfall is a breathtaking sight in Minca. Pozo Azul Falls is a minor waterfall and watering hole located somewhere outside Minca. However, Marinka is more spectacular than Pozo Azul because it has more than one waterfall and several drinking holes to cool down. The Memorial Center of the Sierra Nevada recounts the narrative and the histories of the four indigenous tribes who make up most of Minca’s people through its exhibits and programs.

The Lost City

Colombian countryside

A famous hike in Colombia is the 44 kilometer, four-day Ciudad Perdida. A lost city deeply buried in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountains, only unearthed in the 1970s. Tayrona Indians built and inhabited this ancient metropolis between the eighth and fourteenth centuries. It is one of the most significant pre-Columbian cities ever found in the Americas.

Most of the site is still covered under a thick jungle blanket because the contemporary indigenous people of the region have prohibited excavations. Despite this, the stairways and stone terraces are in excellent condition. It is not possible to visit this place on your own; therefore, you will need to arrange a tour guide from Santa Marta in time to ensure that your trip is worthwhile.

Conclusion

There are several unforgettable places to visit in Colombia. This Caribbean region boasts a vibrant culture and plenty of natural beauty, ranging from mountains to rich forests and waterfalls. The country’s capital, Bogotá, with a large population, beautiful weather, and home to precious emerald stones, is easily accessible. Colombia is indeed nature at its best and arguably one of the best tourist sites in the world. So if you are planning a trip to the Caribbeans, include these pit stops at the five Colombian destinations in your itinerary.
