1. Bogotá
Bogotá is Colombia’s capital and home to art, culture, history, fashion, vibrating restaurants and unique experiences. As the most visited city in Colombia, Bogotá is a place of variety.

This picturesque Colombian city is the place where lovers enjoy watching sunsets from the city walls and where horse-carriages and musicians clutter the streets and plazas where the iconic Palenqueras – Afro-Colombian women – sell fruit in their colorful dresses.

3. Medellín
Medellín is the second biggest city in Colombia and the capital of the Antioquia province. Until recently, this striking city was drowned in the war of drugs, but today, thanks to its massive regeneration effort, Medellín has its vision centered on a bright and promising future.
As a reborn city, Medellín is renowned for its coffee plantations, flower farms, orchids and butterflies. But as well for its distinct artist, Fernando Botero, who’s famous for featuring oversized subjects with a subtle touch of satire.
The city of Medellín, which lies in a valley between two Andean Mountain ridges, is known as the City of Eternal Spring because of its mild and idyllic climate. This makes it possible for this city to hold the event known as ‘Feria de las Flores’ (Flower Festival) every year in August.
Did you know that ... In 2013, Medellín was voted the World’s Most Innovative City?

4. Cali
The city of Cali is well known for its cheerful atmosphere, which is reflected in Salsa – a dance involving a lot of footwork with quick rapid steps and skipping motions. Salsa brings people together and everyone in this city moves to the beat of this dance.
Cali might not be as scenic as Medellín, but its racial diversity, coming from its Afro-Colombian heritage, along with the vibrant attitude of ‘Caleños’ – as the folks from Cali are known -, are enough reasons to win you over!
