Colombia, A NEW PLACE TO VISIT.
Colombia, a new place to visit:
By: Néstor Meléndez
Located in the center of the Americas, Colombia
is turning to be one of the hottest tourist destinations of the world for the
years to come. And it is not just a promotion or publicity strategy, but it is
because, this country offers so many different
places with multiple climates to visit, that even Colombians amazed themselves when travelling around.
This South-American country has coasts over the
Caribbean and the Pacific seas. Has three mountain ranges that are part of the
Andes. A huge part of the Amazon tropical forest is also here and a vast plain
called los Llanos is part of this exuberant place on earth.
It is the second ranked biodiverse country in the
world, just after Brazil. 1826 bird species fly thru the sky of this paradise,
the most in the planet. The flora is amazing and the produce of the land is as
diverse as the climate variety you can find without changing seasons, only by
going up or down you can get a colder temperature or a hotter one. As a matter
of fact, you can go from winter to summer in just a few hours in the road.
All of this wonders were prohibited, or at least
restricted, to international tourists because of security reasons, just few
years ago. But now, all that has changed, the peace treaty signed with the
leftist guerrilla of the FARC, permitted that many areas that were forbidden
for tourism, are now open for the enjoyment of the visitors.
The cities, like the capital Bogotá. Medellín or Cali,,
did´nt suffer the war, as often, but the
stigma of being a country with an ongoing armed conflict made people think twice about travelling to
Colombia. Same thing happened to Cartagena, the jewel of tourism in Colombia.
Now, things have changed. International travel warnings
for citizens of the United States, Europe and Asia, have been lifted or
softened and the numbers of the visitors from this areas has grown year after
year. So if you are thinking of a new destination to plan your vacation,
Colombia is a wonderful option.
You can discover Cartagena de Indias, a port city
located in the Caribbean sea, its old city has been declared as a world
heritage by UNESCO. It has beautiful beaches, great hotels, vibrant nightlife,
good restaurants and picture perfect
locations. You may go to the capital, Bogotá, where you will be captivated by a
metropolis that holds more than 8 million people, and where you are going to
find more than you may expect and be surprised by all the good life it can
offer. Visit the Eje Cafetero (Coffee zone) and you will enjoy the scenery of
the land where the richest coffee in the world grows, or take a trip to
Medellín and discover the city of eternal spring. Get to Cali, where the
salsa beat mixes with the flavors of the pacific breeze that touches this city.
So, don’t think twice, come to Colombia and feel the
sensation of discovering a whole new big player in the tourism industry.
