Bogota, capital of Colombia, is a unique gem that no traveler should miss. With its rich history and fascinating mix of cultures, this city combines the ancient with the modern. This metropolis is much more than just a city; it is a mosaic of cultures and traditions that are uniquely intertwined.


Cartagena is located on the northern coast of Colombia, bathed by the waters of the Caribbean Sea. This picturesque and romantic corner is one of the most visited destinations in the country.
