Tourism in Colombia - Best Tourist Attractions

Colombia, officially the Republic of Colombia, is a country largely situated in the northwest of South America, with territories in Central America. Colombia shares a border to the northwest with Panama, to the east with Venezuela and Brazil and to the south with Ecuador and Peru. It shares its maritime limits with Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Jamaica, Haiti and the Dominican Republic. The sovereign state of Colombia is a unitary, constitutional republic comprising thirty-two departments.

Colombia has been inhabited by various indigenous peoples since 12,000 BCE, including the Muisca, Quimbaya, and the Tairona. The Spanish arrived in 1499 and by the mid-16th century conquered and colonized much of the region, establishing the New Kingdom of Granada, with Santafé de Bogotá as its capital. Independence from Spain was achieved in 1819, but by 1830 the Gran Colombia Federation was dissolved, with what is now Colombia and Panama emerged as the Republic of New Granada. The new nation experimented with federalism as the Granadine Confederation (1858), and then the United States of Colombia (1863), before the Republic of Colombia was finally declared in 1886. Panama seceded in 1903. Since the 1960s, the country has suffered from an asymmetric low-intensity armed conflict, which escalated in the 1990s but then decreased from 2005 onward.

Colombia is one of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse countries in the world, with its rich cultural heritage reflecting various European, Middle Eastern, African, and indigenous influences. Its urban centres are mostly located in the highlands of the Andes mountains and the Caribbean coast.

Colombian territory also encompasses Amazon rainforest, tropical grassland and both Caribbean and Pacific coastlines. Subsequently, it is one of the world's 17 megadiverse countries, and the most densely biodiverse of these per square kilometer.

Colombia is a middle power and regional actor in Latin America, with the fourth-largest economy. It is part of the CIVETS group of six leading emerging markets and is a member of the UN, the WTO, the OECD, the OAS, the Pacific Alliance, and other international organizations. Colombia has a diversified economy with macroeconomic stability and favorable growth prospects in the long run.

LIOS In Pereira, Colombia

The city of Pereira (pronounced peh-ray-rah) lies in the foothills of the Andes of western Colombia, and its metropolitan area is located in a valley of the river Otún (O-tuhn). The official metro area consists of three municipalities. Pereira, Dosquebradas (dose-kay-brah-dahs), and La Virginia (lah veer-heen-yah) and is home to a population of around 705,000.

The Spanish discovered the area in 1540 and later began the settlement of Cartago Viejo (kar-ta-go veyay-hoe). The settlement was moved to its current location in 1691, and in 1816 two brothers, José Franciso and Manuel Pereira, took shelter nearby after the defeat of Simón Bolivar. In 1863 a priest founded Pereira at the site of the current Plaza Bolivar.

Pereira is one of the cities that make up the Coffee Triangle, along with nearby Armenia (ahr-mehn-yah) and Manizales (mahn-ee-sahl-ess). As part of the coffee region, stunning scenery and picturesque small pueblos surround Pereira. The area boasts bountiful natural resources and many opportunities for hiking, photography, horseback riding, and much more.

Many expats living in Pereira first moved to Medellín (meh-deh-yeen), but once they discovered the smaller Pereira, they found it to be more livable, with less traffic and pollution than the large and densely populated Medellín. Pereira is also a very walkable city, depending on where you decide to live.

From hole-in-the-wall shops selling homemade empanadas to elegant restaurants with fine cuisine, your dining experience will be varied with many options in the city. And what’s more, the sizzling nightlife in Pereira draws visitors from around the coffee region.

The weather is perfect. At an elevation of 4,829 feet (1,411 meters), Pereira enjoys beautiful weather all year, with warm, balmy days and cool, pleasant nights. Nearby hot springs, picturesque little pueblos within a couple hours, and countless small farms and country homes in the surrounding areas make for great getaways from the small city. Pereira is also a jumping off point to a pair of the top nature preserves in Colombia: Parque Ucumarí (pahr-kay ooh-koo-mar-ee) and Santuario Otún Quimbaya (sahn-too-ahr-eyo o-tuhn keem-bah-yah).

Pereira is also a First-World environment; the city’s water is drinkable, and it boasts well-maintained roads, dependable phone service, electricity, and high-speed Internet. You’ll find many shopping options, from mom-and-pop stores to upscale boutiques… as well as several large, modern shopping malls, including Parque Arboleda (pahr-kay ahr-boe-leh-dah) mall, which rivals the best malls found in Bogotá (bog-goh-tah) and Medellín. The banks and financial services in the city are the same as you will find in biggest cities in Colombia, and they are solid and dependable.

Pereira has a rich cultural scene, and many fine restaurants, coffee shops, and sidewalk cafés. It’s also a place where you can truly enjoy the great outdoors in the coffee region. And to top it off, you’ll enjoy a reasonable cost of living. Potential expats, second homebuyers, investors, and workers with portable careers will find Pereira is a lower-cost alternative to Medellín.

Hiking in Colombia: Jardín Antioquia

Jardin, Antioquia, Colombia is one of the most beautiful pueblos (small colonial towns) located in the department of Antioquia, about 4 hours from Medellin.

This town is famous for its unchanged appearance and virtually preserved colonial appearance. It's mountain views surround the town while it enclosed manicured gardens and lush green vegetation (hence the name Jardin) thanks to its year round spring-like climate. Jardin is a designated Pueblo de Patrimonio – a colonial town designated by Colombia for tourism and investment is provided for preservation and tourism activities.

Just a short walk outside of town is some of the best hiking in Colombia.
We think it's a dream hiking destination because of its virtually untouched pathways with few tourists, a glimpse of local life as you walk through farms and small villages and some spectacular waterfalls and caves.

There are excellent day hikes in Jardin to see:

-El Salto de Angel Jardin
A waterfall in dense jungle with a 50-meter drop and the
Cueva de los Guácharos a spectacular cave, perfectly carved by the flowing river waters

Previously we did the hike to La Cueva Del Esplendor – another fantastic hike into caves, however, it is on private land, ​and due to erosion it is still closed for tourists.

This is just a small glimpse of the many options for hikes outside of Jardin, each with its own set of jaw-dropping views of the town on the way down.

Birdwatching and Jardin Coffee tours are other top things to do in this laid-back town or for some adventure there is paragliding, and Caving and rappelling

How to organize Hikes in El Jardin Antioquia:
You need to hire a guide to do these hikes. We recommend Jardin Eco Tours – you can visit them on line, or head to their office a couple of blocks away from the main square off of Calle 10 #6-05

How to get to Jardin:
How to get to Jardin from Medellin:

From Terminal Sur – Catch a Jardin bus it takes 3-4 hours depending on traffic and costs about 40,000 pesos. Rapid Ochoa Jardin bus company is a great option.

How to get to Jardin from the South (From Manizales and the coffee zone)

This way is a little more challenging. Wherever you are in the coffee zone, you need to take a transfer to Rio Sucio. You need to take a collectivo (small van) to Rio Sucio, then transfer to Jardin. This journey is roughly 2 hours, and it costs about 20,000 pesos

SAN CIPRIANO, PARAÍSO CON BRUJAS.


Tal vez no sea coincidencia la presencia de brujas en San Cipriano, hermosa reserva verde esmeralda en el Pacífico Colombiano, donde no me pudieron decir a ciencia cierta si se llamaba San Cipriano, bien por el de Antioquía o bien por el Obispo de Cartago.

En San Cipriano, las brujas casi vuelan porque ya están modernizadas, atrás quedaron los años de palanca y freno en chancletas. Las brujas son simples en San Cipriano: un planchón de madera, balineras bien ajustadas y ahora, como gran innovación, una moto que impulsa con mayor velocidad y menos esfuerzo este singular medio de transporte que le compite clandestinamente la carrilera a el tren que suele pasar dos veces por día llevando mercancías al puerto de Buenaventura.

Así, en brujas, se llega al poblado. No son nada seguras, no son nada técnicas, pero al abrirse paso desde Córdoba (lugar donde se toman al pie de la carretera Cali-Buenaventura) hacia la espesura de la selva, la brisa fresca en el rostro, el verdor y el canto de las aves pueden contra el miedo cierto de encontrar un tren en vía contraría. El asombro vence ese muy cultivado fatalismo que tenemos los colombianos.

Veinte minutos de viaje en bruja son suficientes para encontrar la desembocadura del río San Cipriano al río Dagua, allí está la cabecera de la reserva, donde no más de 1.000 personas habitan allí, tiene una escuelita cerca, un centro de salud, y hasta un cementerio, por cierto muy poco poblado.

El sendero en lo que viene se recorre a pie para encontrarse con el río y su exquisita transparencia y su silencio.

Ya Jorge Isaac, en su María habría descrito de forma magistral la selva de esta región. Así, casi igual, la vi:

De allí para adelante las selvas de las riberas fueron ganando en majestad y galanura: los grupos de palmeras se hicieron más frecuentes: veíase la pambil de recta columna manchada de púrpura; la milpesos frondosa brindando en sus raíces el delicioso fruto; la chontadura y la guatle; distinguiéndose entre todas la naidí de flexible tallo e inquieto plumaje, por un no sé qué de coqueto y virginal que recuerda talles seductores y esquivos. Las más con sus racimos medio defendidos aún por la concha que los había abrigado, todas con penachos color de oro, parecían con sus rumores dar la bienvenida a un amigo no olvidado. Pero aún faltaban allí las bejucadas de rojos festones, las trepadoras de frágiles y lindas flores, las sedosas larvas y los aterciopelados musgos de los peñascos. El naguare y el piáunde, como reyes de la selva, empinaban sus copas sobre ella para divisar algo más grandioso que el desierto: la mar lejana.

San Cipriano es un paraíso en peligro después de la aprobación de la ley maderera, una ley que atenta contra el alma de los pueblos en su supervivencia y sobrevivencia. Esta ley es un mecanismo de privatización de los territorios colectivos ganados por las comunidades indígenas y afrocolombianas, es una forma de facilitar el camino al modelo de producción empresarial de los protegidos por el actual gobierno colombiano, una forma de usurpar más, un aporte a la inequidad, a la corrupción, a la violencia y a las deforestación de los bosques nativos.

Todavía es tiempo de ir y maravillarse, de oír el chillido lejano de los micos, de comer el encocado de michiyá de doña Eulalia, de nadar en las aguas transparentes, en los charcos profundos que dejan ver los cardúmenes de peces, de flotar en un río cálido y sin contaminación y sentirnos de nuevo como en el vientre de nuestra madre; de encontrar razones para defender un patrimonio que es de todos.
