With a newfound exuberance and confidence, Colombia holidays are set to be the next major tourism hotspot in Latin America.

From the cosmopolitan vibrancy of Bogota, to the mythical legend of El Dorado, Colombia stands tall amongst the continent’s most exciting countries. The only South American country to be blessed with both a Pacific and Caribbean coast, the mighty Andes and Amazon rainforest are also within its borders. The second most biodiverse country on Earth, humpback whales and sea turtles guard the coast while sloths and spider monkeys populate the forests.
