Colombia’s most beautiful treks
Colombia Travel Blog
If you love hiking, Colombia is a paradise for you! The Andes mountains and tropical jungle will be an infinite playground. Here are the best treks to do in Colombia.
Colombia, a (still) new tourist destination
In 2024, Colombia welcomed over 7 million visitors. This is a record for the country. Colombia is frequently cited as one of the world’s most beautiful travel destinations:
- Lonely Planet: 10 countries to visit in 2017
- World Travel Awards: Best South American destination 2019
- Forbes: 3rd most beautiful country in the world in 2022
That said, the development of tourism in Colombia is relatively recent, as the country is struggling to emerge from almost a century of armed conflict. The fragile peace accords of 2016 opened the door to a pacification of the country, and tourism has played, is playing and will play a special role in this process.
That’s why we’ve created this Colombia travel blog, and why you can join us in this wonderful project! With this travel blog, we want to change the country’s image and encourage tourism initiatives that contribute to building lasting peace.
In our travels, we try to meet Colombians who want to change the way tourism is done, or at least people who propose a minimum of thoughtful tourism, which is sometimes lacking in Colombian tourism projects. Thoughtful so as to be sustainable, culturally sustainable for local communities, ecologically sustainable for natural areas.
