Colombia Travel Guide

Colombia is one of those countries that many travelers are curious about but still feel unsure about visiting. I felt the same way before arriving, and by the time I left, it became my favorite country in South America. The country has an incredibly diverse landscape, a rich cultural heritage, charming colonial towns, and the most welcoming people. While Colombia’s past still shapes how some people think about safety, traveling around the country felt just as safe as elsewhere in the regio—of course, with the usual common sense.

In this Colombia travel guide, you’ll find loads of tips, advice, and inspiration to help you plan your trip, including practical information on getting around and staying safe. The information in this guide is based on my 6 months traveling all over Colombia, exploring different regions, slow traveling, and working remotely along the way.
