10 Day-Roundtrip Colombia Highlights
Tour Colombia Highlights
I enjoyed this route through the most representative places in Colombia. The green immensity of the Andes is striking and reaching the magic of the Caribbean itself and its colors full of life and rhythm is like being in a new country. There is an invaluable cultural variety in this country full of legends and friendly people.
