Isla Gorgona is also abundant with wildlife such as whales and sea turtles. Go diving here too and see more marine animals.

For more incredible adventures, head to San Gil, Barichara, and Chicamocha Canyon. These areas are home to Colombia’s gorgeous mountains for road trips, rivers to raft, caves to explore, and waterfalls to abseil. Reward yourself next and fly to Pereira for a dip in Santa Rosa’s hot springs.

Colombia is also chockfull of great cities you should visit. Fly to Bogota to find world-class dining, vibrant nightlife, and excellent museums like the golden Museo del Oro. If you love to dance, Colombia’s Cali is the salsa capital of the world.

Take photographs of the city’s other manmade destinations. There’s the massive Catedral de Sal, which is a dazzling church built underground in a former salt mine.
