Huffington Post:
The country of Colombia has seen a massive increase in tourism and travellers in the past 10 years making it one of the best, most affordable and exciting places in the world, to travel to.
The north of Colombia, on the north side of the arm which connects Colombia with Panama, is situated on the Caribbean. Here you will find cities and towns like Cartagena de Indias, as well as Santa Marta, Barranquilla and more. South of the Caribbean is lush jungle, temperate rainforest and the big cities of Medellin, Bucaramanga, and the capital of Bogota.
So, prior to your travels to Colombia, you need to learn which cities and towns to spend time in, and which you can avoid. Here, I run down my top 5 places, cities and towns to visit when you travel Colombia.
I advise you to watch the video of top 5 places to visit in colombia, and the best cities in Colombia, instead of reading the description as the video outlines and shows images and video clips of the places in Colombia that I have visited to give you an idea of what to expect when you visit.
Starting at my 5th favourite place in Colombia, Santa Fe de Antioquia just outside Medellin. Incredible Colombian town on the opposite side of the valley from the touristy Guatape, Santa Fe is a beautiful escape from the growing Colombian tourism.
Santa Fe de Antioquia:
Number 4, is the tiny town of Salento. Nestled in the hills of the Colombian coffee region, Salento is a sleepy, classic Colombian town that even though it is becoming more and more popular, it still remains a little town that functions around coffee production and tourists visiting the Cocora Valley.
Click below to see the video of my top 5 things to do in Salento, Colombia.
I also have a few videos of my time in Salento, and the Cocora Valley.
Salento, Colombia Coffee Tour:
Cocora Valley, Colombia:
Number 3, best place in Colombia, are the twin towns of Santa Marta, and Taganga. Seperated only by a small hill, the coastal city of Santa Marta and Taganga are twin towns. Santa Marta is a big city catering to all your needs, and Taganga is a sleepy fishing village which acts as a perfect escape from the busy city.
Tour of the city of Santa Marta.
Walking through Taganga, Colombia:
Number 2 and number 1, favourite place or city to go to in Colombia has come in as a tie. I could not decide between Cartagena and Medellin so they have tied for the number 1 spot. Cartagena is the definition of enchanting, where simply walking the tight cobblestone streets feels special, with the only downside being the humidity.
Cartagena, Colombia |
Medellin is one of the most fun, characterfilled cities I have ever visited and I have only good memories from there. The beautiful greenery spread throughout the valley, the fast paced way of life, happy people, and again, only one downside which is the fact that its not on the ocean.
Parque Lleras, Medellin, Colombia:
Those are my 5 favourite places to visit in Colombia. I hope this helps when selecting the locations where to travel in Colombia and remember to subscribe and go through my channel for more first hand videos of each of these places mentioned in this top 5 list.

— About Exploring Colombia —
Colombia, a country which many only know because of it’s violent past, has been on my list since I went to South America for my first long-term trip in 2012. 6 Years later and with 5 weeks to spend it was finally time to properly explore my country number 9 on the continent.
For the first part of the trip I’ll be traveling with my mate David to the historical city of Cartagena, some picturesque Carribean islands and to the city of Medellin where we get to learn about the violent past and the transformation of the country. After a few days in the capital Bogota I’ll be joined by my good friend Stefan to learn salsa and take on some outdoor adventures in Cali before heading up to Santa Marta where we checkout the most beautiful beaches, float down rivers and hike through the mountains.

Cali (not California) is a beautiful city in Colombia. It's known as the salsa capital of the world, but there are plenty of other unique things to do here.

1. Take a Salsa Class
La Topa Tolondra offers a free salsa class on Monday nights 7pm - 9pm (the class is free but they charge 5,000COP ($2USD) entry fee)
2. Cerro De Las Tres Cruces
Hike up here for a beautiful view of the city.

Yummmmm

Ask a local where you can find a place to play rana and they will point you in the right direction.
