"If you want to know the Caribbean, go to Cuba or the Dominican Republic;
if you want to know the Pacific Ocean, go to Chile;
if you want to know the Andean Mountains, go to Ecuador;
if you want to know the Amazon Jungle, go to Brazil;
if you want to know pre-columbian cultures, go to Mexico or Peru;
but if you want to know all of those in just one place, go to Colombia"

Colombia has so much to offer to foreigners. I can tell you for sure that once you visit Colombia you will change the image of you were used to have.

What I like the most about living in Colombia is its geographic diversity. When you are traveling by car it's easy to change dramatically from a freezy Andean weather to the soft warm breeze of a Colonial town.

That's why we don't have the seasons. You can decide anytime you want, where to enjoy that particular sense that make each season special for you.

And it's not uncommon to find such contrastsall over the country. Even on the Caribbean coast you can find a snow mountain right next to the sea! (La Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta).
