VISIT COLUMBIA IN OUR NEWEST ARMCHAIR VACATION
This week we’re heading down to South America! Colombia may not be on your travel radar, but it is every bit as captivating as the more familiar and frequently traveled destinations in South America. Not only is it home to some of Latin America’s most progressive cities and passionate people, but it’s also one of the world’s most biodiverse nations. Columbia is filled with tropical rainforests, majestic mountain ranges, multiple coasts, and nearly 2,000 bird species. For this and past destinations (Mexico, Italy, London, Iceland, and Indonesia), visit our Armchair Vacations series.
