No Matter What You are Looking for Colombia is the Right Spot

By:Gaizka Pujana

If you want to rest by contemplating nature in order to forget the environment of the city or to go to a special place to practice extreme sports or to spend money and free time in an intensive medical treatment or perhaps, an aesthetic surgery, you should go to Colombia because no matter what you want for holidays it is the destination to please everyone.

In terms of nature, it is a marvellous spectacle due to the fact that Colombia has charming places with different climates and landscapes. There are forests, deserts, mountains, beaches and jungles, among others.

People who want to enjoy nature can rent a farm in the coffee area of the country or can visit wild places. An interesting place is Leticia with its natural parks, such as Amacuyacu and The Monkeys Island, located in the Amazons forest. For people who like the contrast, the Alta Guajira territory has both the beach and the desert very close by as well as an indigenous and natural protected area. In the two regions of the country, Amazons and Guajira, tourists make contact with the natives, observe fauna and flora and buy typical handicraft.

For kids and people who are animal lovers, Colombia has wonderful theme parks or interactive parks such as Panaca, Los Ocarros, Zooparque los Caimanes, and Matecana where you can enjoy the life in the field because they offer many activities and shows that really make visitors to be in contact with nature.

The already mentioned places are not the unique examples because thanks to its geographical location Colombia has five natural regions (Andean, Caribbean, Pacific, Orinoquia and the Amazon) with parks and other natural attractions.

Moving to beaches, there are more than 300 in both oceans, Atlantic and Pacific. Some of them have all the facilities required by tourists and some others are real natural hideaways.

Also, the geographical characteristics of Colombia allow people who like adrenaline to practice extreme sport like rafting, canopying, parachuting and many more.

The country is also full of historical and cultural places not only inside de cities but also in the countryside, places like San Agustin, Sierra Nevada de Santa Martha, and Tierradentro are well worth seeing. Pre Hispanic and Colonial past can be found in many places regardless of the region of the country.

The capital cities of Colombia have their very particular and interesting tourist attractions, also each of them has a fair or carnival that represent their culture therefore visiting a couple should be a must.

Finally, Colombia is a very good choice for people who want to get an aesthetic surgery on vacations. There is not doubt that medicine, in this country, is safe. Monthly, 5.000 patients from 80 countries go to Colombia in order to get an aesthetic surgery or a medical treatment due to the high professional level and the low price lists.
