Colombia is a country bursting with culture, coffee, and color. From the lively streets of Bogotá and Medellín to the colonial charm of Cartagena, every city has a story to tell. When visiting, be sure to:
- Carry cash in smaller denominations—many small shops don’t take cards.
- Stay hydrated, especially in warmer regions like the Caribbean coast.
- Learn a few Spanish phrases to make interactions smoother.
- Try local specialties like arepas and bandeja paisa.
Colombia is safe for travelers who stay alert, use reliable transportation, and respect local customs.
