While travel in Europe and Asia has been highly popular in recent years, South America is starting to gain popularity as a top tourist destination as well. With quelled tensions in countries that were otherwise unstable and a renewed interest in the unique culture of the continent, people are heading to South America in droves. Colombia is one of the countries that people are starting to travel to more frequently and Colombia Vacation Travel Packages are widely available.
Colombia is a fairly large country situated in the northern portion of the South American continent. When it comes to diversity in culture, languages, cuisine, history and terrain and natural wonders, Colombia is one of the most diverse countries in South America and perhaps even in the entire world. Colombia is mostly known for coffee production, the beautiful beaches of the Caribbean coast, stunning colonial cities, emerald mining, lively fiestas and for being home to the Andes Mountains but it’s also known as an excellent vacation destination for people of all ages and budgets. There is something for everyone in this vastly diverse country.
Before you book any Colombia Vacation Travel Packages, you should become familiar with some of the top things to see and do in the country so you can be sure to choose a package that includes the things you want to see. Some of the most popular attractions in the country include:
Parque Nacional Natural Tayrona
Ciudad Perdida
Catedral de Sal
Rosario Islands
Monserrate
Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas
Tatacoa Desert
Chicamocha Canyon
Colombian National Museum
A typical vacation package will usually include return flights, ground transportation to and from the airport at your destination, accommodation, some meals and some attractions and activities. There are also smaller packages available that allow you to do day trips within the bigger trip. These can usually be purchased at the hotel or resort you are staying at but can also be purchased in advance over the internet.
Some of the activities that are widely available around the country include hiking, cable car rides and ziplining so if you are interested in doing these things, search for a tour that offers them. Likewise when it comes to the day tours. There are city tours, historical tours, walking tours, day cruises, beach excursions, visits to coffee plantations and even mud-bathing in Totumo Volcano.
Throughout the year, a number of festivals are held around the country including the Colombian Folk Festival in Ibague, Feria de Las Flores – Flower Festival, Barranquilla Carnival and Festival Internacional de Teatro. It is possible to work your travels around these festivals if you wish to tend any and some packages have festivals included in their itinerary.
