Republic of Colombia, or simply Colombia is a country located in the northwest of South America. It is surrounded by countries such as Panama, samba land Brazil, Venezuela and Peru.
And believe it or not, it is the only South American country with coastlines on both Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.
When should we visit it?
The question is when? Well, to be honest, it’s up to a tourist’s preference. Colombia is located near the Equator and shares variations of altitude which is proven to be tourist-friendly.
Tropical along the coast and wintery on the highlands, but Colombians refer rainy season as winter, so don’t expect to snow. But still the climate varies in different regions.
What should we prepare?
Tourists of most European nations, all South American nations and some Asian nations such as Japan, South Korea and Philippines are exempted from visa requirement unless of course if they’re staying for more than 90 days.
Tourists are usually allowed to stay in the country for 30 to 90 days but if an extension is needed, they must comply to the requirements needed by the Colombian authorities.
How could we get there?
Tourists can travel by plane. International flights offer trips to different Colombian cities such as Bogota, Medellin, and San Andres Islands. Take note that Medellin is the only point in the country which serves two airports.
Tourists can also get in the country by navigating its coastline. They can enter from Panama through the Puerto Obaldia- Capurgana pass and from Capurgana to Turbo where buses are ready to hitch tourists to the gist of the country. Other transports like buses, car and train can take visitors around Colombia.
What could we see there?
Tourists will not only see but they should eat, yes, they should. Enjoy delicacies such as empanadas, buñuelos and arepas which are very common in places in Colombia.
