Be surprised by these travel tips for Colombia

Did you know that Colombia is the ultimate paradise for birdwatching? There are about 2,000 bird species registered in Colombia, including a number of native bird species that are found nowhere else in the world. To give you an impression, the Eldorado Reserve, which is near Santa Marta, is considered the holy grail for ornithology by birdwatchers from all over the world.

While tourism in the rest of Colombia has grown, the Los Llanos region is still undiscovered. A visit to this remote area of endless grasslands provides an experience you will not easily forget. Would you like to get acquainted with the country life of Colombia? Then it is highly recommended to stay in a Hato, the traditional farms of the Llaneros, the Colombian cowboys.

With a small plane you fly from Medellín to the coastal town of Nuquí. The tranquillity, the deserted beaches situated next to a dense jungle offer everything you need.

Between June and October, a stay in Nuquí becomes even more special. During this time, the humpback whale comes close to the coast to breed. It will be an unforgettable experience for you to see these giant animals up close!

The region is not only important for its flora and fauna, but also from a cultural point of view. Many indigenous cultures live in this region. The combination of nature and culture makes a visit to the Colombian Amazon a unique experience.

The fact that Colombia is rich in nature is no secret, but the Tatacoa desert southwest of Bogotá is certainly a stranger in our midst. Nevertheless it is worth mentioning: the desert-like landscape provides beautiful, breath-taking views. For example, take a walk through the moon-like landscape of the Valle del Cusco.
