South America:Colombia
Experience a luxury Columbia tour with Big Five. Colombia is one of South American’s most rapidly emerging destinations. It has been said that Colombia is more for travelers than for tourists. And, in many ways, that is true. It is a country that has had to heal from a dark and uncertain past. But Colombia today challenges travelers to look beyond that to experience its historic cities, rich cultural past, varied cuisine and welcoming people. Colombia was inhabited by indigenous people who were primitive hunters or nomadic farmers. The Spanish first sailed along the north coast of Colombia as early as 1500. The first permanent settlement at Santa Marta was established in 1525. That colonial legacy is found in the art and architecture of Colombia’s principal cities such as Bogota, Cartagena, and Medellin.
The country is divided into five natural regions: Andean, Caribbean, Pacific, Orinoquia, and Amazonia. Each offers opportunities an abundance of adventure activities such as rock climbing, mountain biking, cave exploring, hang gliding and scuba diving. Colombia is quickly becoming a South America destination not to be missed.
