Colombia, the only risk is wanting to stay!

Many who haven't travelled to Colombia mistakenly imagine the country as a dangerous land of drugs, guerrillas and rainforests. However, those who do travel to Colombia, discover something very different, and many visitors find it to be their favourite vacation destination in all of South America. Large parts of Colombia are perfectly safe for travel, while in other areas caution must be taken.
Colombia is one of the few countries in Latin America that genuinely has almost everything travel wise - amazing beaches, rainforests tours and jungle lodges, archaeological ruins and sites, colonial towns oozing charm, buzzing nightlife and trendy hotels in cosmopolitan modern cities, wildlife viewing tours and whale watching trips, scuba diving, fantastic trekking, rafting and adventure tours and beautiful and welcoming locals. One could easily spend up to two months travelling around Colombia. For for those less on time, this online Colombia travel guide should help choose where to visit on your vacation.

Colombia's Caribbean Coast
The top travel highlight is Cartagena, quite possibly Latin America's most beautiful colonial city, a must see on all vacations to Colombia. There's nearby fantastic beaches at both the Rosario Islands and Park Tayrona (the best beaches in South America?). The beach resort of Santa Marta (clic here for travel packages) is the base for an amazing 6 day jungle trek to the amazing ruins of Ciudad Perdida. Travel further East to discover the remote indigenous communities of La Guajira Peninsula, an arid landscape of empty beaches and flamingoes. A short flight from Cartagena and one encounters great beaches and scuba diving at the beautiful Caribbean islands of San Andres (more developed) and Providencia (unspoilt and idyllic), alternatively one can travel West to the beaches of the rarely visited San Bernardo Islands and Capurgana.


Colombia's inland travel highlights
Capital city Bogota is a gateway for travel elsewhere in Colombia, though it also has palaces, plazas, museums, buzzing nightlife and fantastic hotels to appeal to visitors. To the north lie Villa de Leiva and Mompos, two of Colombia's most tranquil and charming colonial cities. Nearby San Gil is Colombia's adventure travel and watersports centre.
Travel South to Medellin, known as the city of the eternal spring due to it's fantastic climate. Most visitors to Colombia who make their way to Medellin agree that it's one of the prettiest modern cities in Latin America. Nearby Medellin, tours into Antioquia's countryside offer a spectacular backdrop to experience rural life in Colombia. Nearby tourist attractions include El Penol, a huge rock (aka Sugar Loaf in Rio) protuding from the lush green landscape and surrounded by a lake with beautiful islands. Santa Fe de Antioquia is small traditional Paisa town just outside of Medellin. A few hours overland travel from Medellin, Rio Claro is a beautiful place to relax and take nature tours. In addition, Colombia's beautiful coffee country is just a few hours away and is gateway to some fantastic scenery and trekking in Los Nevados Park.
Travel still further South to discover Cali's buzzing salsa scene, the colonial town of Popayan, and the mysterious archaeological sites of San Agustin and Tierradentro. Alternatively, catch a flight deep into the Amazon rainforest and stay in a jungle lodge hotel near Leticia.


Colombia's Pacific Coast
There's more stunning rainforest backed empty beaches and surfing in Choco department on Colombia's Pacific Coast, one of South America's wettest and most biodiverse places. Throughout the Pacific coast, whale watching tours can be taken between July and October, the old prison island of Gorgona Island being a unique place to see such whales. There's also lovely beaches and wildlife tours offered at the laid back beach vacation resorts of Nuqui and Bahia Solano.

Santa Marta is a Caribbean resort, while neighbouring Taganga is where backpackers invariably opt to stay. Details on each follow, along with advice and information on the better hotels.

Santa Marta & Rodadero
Santa Marta is one of Colombia's premier beach resorts. As international tourists haven't fully discovered quite what a fantastic country Colombia is, this means that Santa Marta is mainly full of Colombian tourists. There's numerous high rise beach front hotels both in, and in the beaches surrounding, Santa Marta. The nearby suburb of Rodadero is similar in fashion and full of various hotels, lilo shops and restaurants.
The beaches are ok, though rather crowded. Nightlife is fun and rowdy, and the city is far busier during the peak domestic tourism season. If you're a man, looking for a Colombian woman, here along with Cali is where you'll probably have most luck. Think "Cancun", but on a smaller, less in-your-face package holiday style, but with far more beautiful Colombian people.
Those who stay in Santa Marta or Taganga usually do so as a launching pad for tours to two of Colombia's real travel highlights - Park Tayrona, and Ciudad Perdida.

Santa Marta Hotels
There's dozens of hotels in Santa Marta, and many are pretty non-descript. I'll only list a few of the better, more interesting ones.
Irotama - a "five star golf resort" that's in an "ecological complex", this option is very good value, and one of Santa Marta's best resorts.
Hotel Mar Azul - a 55 room hotel in the centre of Rodadero.
Mendihuaca Resort - a great option, this isn't actually in Santa Marta, in fact it's just outside of the stunningly beautiful Park Tayrona.
Also consider the chain hotels of Decameron Galeon, the Estellar Santamar and the Sol Arhuaco (a Solar owned hotel).

Taganga
Those seeking something a little more laid back should consider the nearby fishing village of Taganga. Taganga is a more laid back village, and just outside of Santa Marta itself. The village is in a pretty bay, and there is a pleasant beach on which to relax. There's a few pretty small beaches nearby, and some beautiful coastal walks. Taganga is also an excellent place to organise a scuba diving course in Colombia.
Taganga is one of Colombia's top backpacker hangouts. It's Santa Marta's "alternative" little brother as such, and tourists have been known to dabble in the use of illegal substances. Reading other guidebooks you might be lead to believe that this is a peaceful idyllic fishing village - maybe it was like this 10 years ago, but it's not now. Vendors will hassle you on the beach, and music blares out of beachside restaurants until late at night. "Laid back" it may be, but peaceful it's not. If you want peace and beautiful beaches head to nearby Park Tayrona. One final bit of advice - don't drink the water in Taganga as many, many tourists get seriously ill from it (likewise what out for salads and juices).

Taganga Hotels & Hostels
Techos Azules is a great little hostel with fantastic views over the bay of Taganga - the only drawback is that it's a 5 minute walk from the town itself. It's great value though.
Casa Felipe is one of Taganga's most well established hostels, and is very popular with backpackers.
Ballena Azul is supposedly one of best hotels in Taganga, with a fine beachfront location. I'm personally not a fan as their food is awful, and it poisoned me so badly that I was unable to move from my bed for 3 days.
There's dozens of other accommodation options, most of which are basic but clean, throughout Taganga. Just turn up and pick one that takes your fancy.See the video of Santa Marta and Taganga.
