With a unique blend of colonial architecture, indigenous heritage, rich history, and breathtaking natural landscapes, Colombia has become one of Latin America's most captivating destinations. And let’s not forget the country’s world-class coffee, delicious arepas, and vibrant musical traditions—each one a reason on its own to visit.

What to see

Did you know that Colombia is home to nearly 10% of the planet’s biodiversity? Or that it boasts over 50 national parks? Or that literary giant Gabriel García Márquez was born here? Clearly, both its culture and nature leave a lasting impression on all who visit.

Bogotá, the capital and main gateway, is perfect for exploring museums like the Gold Museum or walking through the old colonial neighborhood of La Candelaria. Medellín surprises with its bold street art, scenic cable cars, and of course, the transformation of the once-notorious Comuna 13. Then there’s Cartagena de Indias—a UNESCO World Heritage Site that steals hearts with its walled city, colonial charm, and magical Caribbean sunsets.

But there’s even more: the lush Coffee Region valleys, the white-sand beaches of Santa Marta, or the tropical jungle of Tayrona National Park are all must-see highlights that showcase Colombia’s diversity.

Things to do in Colombia

Colombia offers an incredible variety of things to do. From classic free walking tours to coffee farm visits or thrilling 4x4 routes through wild landscapes like the Villa de Leyva desert, the Combeima canyon, or the Cocora Valley. You can also visit the awe-inspiring Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá, a massive underground temple, or take a colorful boat ride through the lakes of Guatapé.

FAQs

Is it safe to travel to Colombia?

Colombia has become much safer in recent years and is a popular travel destination. Major cities and tourist areas like Bogotá, Medellín, Cartagena, and the Coffee Triangle are generally safe if you take basic precautions—avoid displaying valuables and steer clear of unfamiliar neighborhoods at night. It’s wise to ask hotel staff or locals which areas to avoid.

When is the best time to visit Colombia?

The best time to visit Colombia is from December to March, when the weather is drier and sunnier—perfect for both coastal and inland destinations. July and August are also good months, especially for Bogotá and Medellín. Since Colombia’s climate varies by region, check the forecast for each part of your itinerary.

What travel documents do I need for Colombia?

U.S. citizens can enter Colombia visa-free for up to 90 days. You’ll need a passport valid for at least six months from your entry date, and proof of onward or return travel. No additional visa or paperwork is required for standard tourist stays, but always verify current rules with the Colombian consulate before you go.

What time zone is Colombia in?

Colombia observes a single time zone year-round: GMT -5. It is six hours behind mainland Spain in winter and seven hours behind when Spain is on daylight saving time.

What currency is used in Colombia?

The official currency is the Colombian peso. While credit cards are widely accepted in major cities and tourist areas, cash is still common for markets, taxis, and rural locations, so it’s a good idea to carry some pesos.
