Colombia by Llama Travel

Llama Travel is proud and excited to launch our brand new Colombia programme. Amazing scenery, fabulous beaches, rich culture, beautiful cities and some of the friendliest people in the world. With the country’s political situation and image improving greatly in recent years, Colombia is fast becoming known as one of the most exciting destinations in Latin America. The landscapes are incredible and varied, from the high Andes and the abundant greenery and rolling hills of the coffee region, where Colombia’s famous Arabica blend is produced, to the white sand beaches of Tayrona on the Caribbean coast and the exotic cloud forest of the Cocora Valley. Bogota, the capital, boasts many galleries, restaurants and bars as well as a beautiful colonial centre, whilst picturesque Cartagena is a charming and historical fortified city, known for its heavy association with pirates in the Caribbean. Colombia also has a rich and interesting history. The region was home to many pre-Hispanic cultures, including the Incas, prior to the arrival of the Spanish Conquistadors, all of whom have left their mark on the country. The cities and landscapes are wonderful, but it is perhaps the warmth and friendliness of its people that will remain longest in the memory; they are proud of their country and excited to share it with you.
