10 Best Places to Visit in Colombia
10 Best Places to Visit ant Top Tourist Attractions in Colombia: Tayrona National Park, Zona Cafetera, Villa de Leyva, Cartagena, Medellin, Popayan, San Agustin, San Andres y Providencia,
Bahia Solano Colombia
It’s one of the last places in the planet where pristine tropical rainforest meets the ocean; beaches are calm, lonely, where crystal clear rivers flow down the mountains through the forest and empty in the sea.
A perfect isolated destination for nature lovers and fishermen, here the deep forests, clear rivers, mangroves, and beaches still live together in harmony, all this reasons make Bahia Solano one of the best places to go fishing in the world.
Parque Natural Utria, Costa Pacifica, Bahia Solano, Nuqui, Ensenada Utria CHOCO, Colombia
El Parque Nacional Natural Ensanada de Utria está ubicado en la región del Choco, en la Costa Pacifica de Colombia entre Nuqui y Bahia Solano. Es una área protegida muy extensa que tiene muchos ecosistemas formando una conectividad entre la selva, el manglar, las playas, y toda la parte oceánica del Pacifico.
¿Conoces la migración de las ballenas?
Es una zona muy tranquila, que permite que las ballenas Jorobadas vengan a este lugar a tener sus crías en la época de migración de junio a septiembre. Ellas vienen del Polo Sur, hacen un desplazamiento de 8.000 km subiendo y 8.000 km bajando aproximadamente. El comportamiento de esta ballena se caracteriza por saltos y golpear sobre el mar con sus aletas y su cola. Es uno de los más bellos y emocionantes espectáculos de la naturaleza.
El manglar un ecosistema muy importante:
El Parque Utria ofrece un lugar para la reproducción de muchas especies como los peces que hacen parte de la sostenibilidad alimentaria de muchas de las comunidades que viven en este lugar y que viven del producto pesquero. El ecosistema de manglares es muy importante: Los peces van a poner sus huevos allí y a tener sus crías. En este lugar pasan un largo tiempo alimentándose porque les ofrece muchos alimentos y refugio, luego salen al mar abierto cuando son bastantes grandes o juveniles. Los manglares están adaptados para la “subida y la bajada de la marea”.
La identidad del Pacifico:
La parte costera está habitada por comunidades negras, hacia la parte interna de la selva son las comunidades indígenas. En la zona donde están las comunidades indígenas es Selva Humeda Tropical con una muy alta biodiversidad de especies animales y vegetales.
¿Cuál es la Estrategia de Parque Nacionales con el Ecoturismo?
En el caso del Parque Utria, y especialmente del Choco, algunas especies están en peligro de extinción y son endémicas. La estrategia de Parques Nacionales a través del Ecoturismo tiene una meta económica y educativa, con el fin de generar consciencia en la población local y poder mejorar su calidad de vida. La meta es que se logren desarrollar todos estos procesos, los trabajos con las comunidades indígenas, con las instituciones educativas, con las ONGs y con los concejos comunitarios para inculcar en cada uno de ellos, la importancia de la preservación de nuestro medio ambiente.
Utria, un lugar mágico:
La magia de Utria es la oportunidad de interactuar con los seres de la naturaleza, con la flora, con la fauna.... la belleza del mar, el color del mar, los atardeceres, la selva, el contraste de colores. Todo eso genera como muchos sentimientos y magia en este lugar.

A COLOMBIAN CITY WITH NO TOURISTS
Buenaventura, Colombia, has a violent reputation. But reputations plague cities and countries long after they are (reasonably) safe to visit, and Buenaventura and surroundings has a lot (of food, drink and natural beauty) to offer, and virtually no foreign tourists taking it in. Sorry for any translation errors. Ah, and I included this great new song from La Pacifican Power as part of the soundtrack, it's a Pacific Coast supergroup. Their brand new single is here: and follow them on Facebook:

Top 10 Best Places to Visit in Colombia !! Tourist Attractions in Colombia
Top 10 Best Places to Visit in Colombia !! Tourist Attractions in Colombia
Colombia has something that will please most travelers, from sandy beaches of the Caribbean and Pacific coasts, to the Andes Mountains and the Amazon rainforests. Its heritage reflects the culture of its indigenous peoples as well as the Spanish who began settling here in the early 15th century. A couple of decades or so ago, Colombia was not on the tourist map because it was not a safe place to visit. However, the government is working hard to change that image, making it safer for travelers to enjoy the many features Colombia offers. An overview of the best places to visit in Colombia:
10. Popayan
Popayan is one of Colombia’s most impressive colonial cities. Located in southwestern Colombia, it is sometimes called the “Ciudad Blanca” (White City) because its buildings are chalk-white. Founded in 1537, its mild climate in the Valle de Cauca quickly attracted wealthy Spanish families who built mansions, schools, churches and monasteries. The city is famous for its Maundy Thursday procession as well as its nightlife.
9. Medellin
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Medellín was considered one of the most dangerous cities in the world, home to Colombia’s infamous cocaine cartel. But when drug lord Pablo Escobar was snuffed out in 1993, Medellín began to bury its troubled past and rebounded tremendously. These days, the increasing number of tourist who come here find an inviting, modern city with one of the country’s best climates.
8. San Andres y Providencia
San Andrés and Providencia Archipelago are two island groups that are located closer to Nicaragua than Colombia in the Caribbean. San Andres is the largest island, and also the capital. Providence Island was initially settled by English Puritans who used slave labor on their plantations and took up privateering. White sand beaches and palm trees are San Andres’ best features.
7. San Agustin
San Agustin is a laidback little town surrounded by awesome landscapes and the remains of a forgotten civilization. One of the most intriguing ancient sites in Colombia, the archeological park of San Agustin is home to more than 500 monoliths, statues, petroglyphs and sarcophagi. Most of the stone carvings at San Agustin were created between 100 A.D. and 1200 A.D. They include representations of human figures, smiling and sneering monsters as well as animals such as snakes, birds and jaguars.
6. Zona Cafetera
Travelers who love their java will definitely want to visit Zona
Cafetera (Eje Cafetero) where almost half of Colombia’s coffee crop is grown on the slopes of the Andes. Visitors can learn more about coffee at El Parque del Café, a park that has a botanical garden with coffee plants and an amusement park. The Zone has a gold museum featuring pre-Columbian artifacts.
5. San Gil
San Gil is an old colonial town in northeast Colombia. Founded by the Spanish in 1689, it was named the region’s tourism capital in 2004. The designation honors mainly the main outdoor activities, such as mountain biking, rafting and kayaking. Couch potatoes may enjoy a visit to the cathedral built in 1791
4. Villa de Leyva
Villa de Leyva may be a small town less than a four-hour drive from Bogota, but its Plaza Mayor is one of the biggest town squares in South America. At one time people were executed on this immense square, which is now used as a gathering place for celebrations and festivals, such as the onion beauty pageant.
3. Bogota
Bogota, sometimes referred to as “the Athens of South America”, was first settled by indigenous peoples, though the founding date is generally set at 1538 by a Spanish explorer. Today, the city is one of the largest cities in South America and Colombia’s capital. Once considered a place to avoid, Bogota has cleaned up its act and is fast becoming one of the best places to visit in Colombia.
2. Tayrona National Park
Tayrona National Park is a must-see place for travelers who enjoy nature and exploring old ruins. Located on the north Colombia coast, the park offers a variety of ecosystems, from swamps to scrublands to cloud forests. For many travelers, the park’s biggest attraction is its beaches, set in deep bays and shaded with coconut palms. In fact, Tayrona beaches are among Colombia’s most beautiful.
1. Cartagena
Cartagena is the bustling city where Kathleen Turner’s character Joan Wilder begins her Colombian adventures in Romancing the Stone. Hopefully, travelers will get their visits off to better starts, though the city is just as busy as when it was one of the key Caribbean ports from the 16th to 18th centuries. Fought over by various countries, Cartagena was one of the most heavily fortified cities in South America; these fortifications can still be seen today.
