I once went to Bogota on a business trip. It was a beautiful place, the landmarks dating back to colonial times, the churches, modern skyscrapers. It's a shame I'm not good in Spanish. That was about 5 years ago.

Colombia is an amazing place. I felt incredibly safe there and found their men to be the most respectful in Latin America (no one shouting "gringa" as you walk the streets).

I'd recommend hitting up Cartagena for architechture, Taganga (and nearby Tayrona Nat'l Park) for beauty and relaxation, Medellin and Cali for amazing nightlife, and Bogota for a really cosmopolitian atmosphere and great food. Also in Bogota, check out the bulletproof tailor's shop. It was one of the highlights of my trip.

I am from the US. I have been to Colombia many times and love it. There is no country that has MORE national parks except Brazil. and brazil is 10X the size.. The people are nice, the food good, I love Cartagena, Bogota and all points in between. GO! Youll love it.

I was born in Trinidad & Tobago, I live in the United States. I went to Colombia in Bogota, Bucaramanga, and Cucuta. The country is more similar to my country than the United States, it is beautiful and the people are VERY friendly. I would definitely go back or even live there. The only city I did not like was Cucuta, the other two was awesome.

Im from Venezuela and there is nothing diferent to see, the same lifestyle, the same clear water beaches, the same beautiful girls, the same social issues, the same languaje, the same... I have been to Bogota, CÃºcuta, Rio Hacha and Barranquilla.

I live in Michigan, but have family that live there, and have been there many times. It is a very beautiful place, and all though there are some places to avoid, most of the country has become a lot safer due to the President's anti-terrorist tactics. I recommend the Eje Cafetero or Coffee-growing-region which is a beautiful region where they grow coffee and bananas. It is a lot of fun and I recomend that place the most, It is in the departamentos of Quindio, Risaralada, Valle Del Cauca, and Caldas. I recommend El parque nacional del cafe (www.parquenacionaldelcafe.com), and Bosque Del Saman canopy (www.fincahotelelbosque.com). A trip on a boat made of guadua (like bamboo) down a river. Its a nice place with good scenery too,

It's great to see so many positive answers on this question...

I gotta agree 100%.

Colombia is a BEAUTIFUL country and a whole lot safer and more fascinating than I ever expected it to be.

LOVE the sophisticated feel of Bogota with all the great cafes and clubs in Zona Rosa/Candelaria and all the excellent museums and arts venues.

LOVE the mellow vibes of Medellin, its friendly people, and its clean, modern feel. Great nightlife in the Parque Lleras area, as well as Calle 70 and other fun areas. Easy to get around on their clean, modern Metro system too!

Can't wait to get back!
