Colombia has a population of about 51 million, with Spanish as the official language alongside over 65 recognized Indigenous languages such as Wayuu, Embera, and Kogi. Its currency is the Colombian Peso (COP), and the climate varies dramatically: tropical along the Caribbean and Pacific coasts, arid in regions like La Guajira, temperate in the Andean highlands, and humid in the Amazon rainforest.
Visitors are drawn to Colombia’s diverse experiences: wandering the colorful streets of Cartagena, hiking the Lost City in the Sierra Nevada, exploring Medellín’s innovative urban culture, sipping coffee in the lush Eje Cafetero, or relaxing on the pristine beaches of San Andrés and Tayrona National Park. Colombian cuisine is rich and regional—from arepas, bandeja paisa, and empanadas to exotic tropical fruits and fresh seafood along the coast. The population is a vibrant mix of mestizo, Indigenous, and Afro-Colombian communities, with each region holding its own cultural celebrations, like Barranquilla’s Carnival, Feria de las Flores in Medellín, and the traditional vallenato and cumbia music that pulse through daily life.
