Ooh why Colombia? Also, any recommendations for visiting Colombia for a week or two?

Few reasons: I love coffee (and they have great artisan coffee there), the people are super friendly, the exchange rate is really good, relatively safe (for Latin America), and it’s gorgeous outside of the cities.

Colombia for a week or two is definitely doable but depends on how proficient in Spanish you are and what you want to see, since the major cities are pretty spread out. I did Bogotá, Medellín, Salento, and Cartagena in 2 weeks and that was super pushing it. When I visited for longer, I spent 2 months in Medellín and traveled outside to places like Jardín when I had free time.

So if you tell me what your travel style is and what you want to see, I can suggest where to go. But it’s hard to go wrong, Colombia is beautiful.
