This history is palpable in the historic streets and neighborhoods. The country also boasts some natural sights that promise to strike awe into visitors from around the world.

Read on for a description of the top cities in Colombia, as well as a sample of the many activities and sightseeing opportunities available for your trip.
Bogota
Bogota is Colombia’s capital city and hosts a population of about 8.8 million people. It is a city of many layers and many neighborhoods. Whether you’re looking for world-class food or coffee, boutique shopping, or nightclubs, you are sure to find something to excite you here. Visit the La Candelaria, an old neighborhood with cobblestone streets and houses over a century old. Check out Chapinero, a nice neighborhood filled with a mixture of commercial and residential spaces with all sorts of shopping, dining and sightseeing. Chapinero is also one of the most LGTBQ-friendly sections of the city.
Cali
Cali is the largest city in the Pacifica region and touts itself as the world capital of Salsa dancing. While in Cali be sure to check out one of the many Salsa clubs and enjoy a taste of Guarapo, a local drink made from sugar cane.
Medellín
Surrounded by mountains and nicknamed the “City of Eternal Spring”, Medellín is known for its pleasant weather. Despite some of its rocky past it has come to be one of the most innovative cities in the world. With decidedly modern architecture and grid layout of streets this city is easily navigable by rental car.
Natural Sights
Los Nevados National Park
This park has snow-covered volcanic peaks at its heart. Visit this national park and see its tremendous array of plants and animals including the spectacled bear and puma.
Tayrona National Park
On the Caribbean not far from the city of Santa Marta, Taytona National Park is said to have some of the loveliest coastlines in all South America. There are also villages nearby that are home to the native peoples of the region such as the Koguis. Surfing is also a possibility here but be cautious of the strong riptide!
