For many years “The risk is wanting to stay” was the very accurate motto of Colombia´s Tourism Agency. Colombia went from being the Black Sheep of tourism to a shining star and a very affordable destination. It is arguably the most diverse country in Latin America, both in terms of culture and landscape. It is the land of magical realism; of coffee, emeralds, flowers, birds and rivers. With still untouched UNESCO sites like Chiribiquete or Katios National Parks, few people include in their itineraries such places as Jirijrimo falls, Nuqui bay, San Bernardo islands or the snow covered peaks of Cocuy and paramo vegetation. Colombia is certainly an exotic, extreme an intense country to visit.
