Colombian culture is filled with celebration, color, music and dance. In each of the country’s regions you will discover unique musical styles, folk dances, traditional costumes and typical food. With more than 40 folklore festivals and carnivals during the year, more than 20 different Colombian musical rhythms and over 15 different native musical instruments, Colombia´s cultural wealth will surprise you.
Due to its geographic position on the planet, Colombia is the second most biodiverse country on Earth. In fact, one of every ten species of flora and fauna can be found in our territory, some of which are native species.
Colombia is ranked worldwide for being first, second and third in bird, flora and reptile diversity, respectively, which makes it a real paradise for nature lovers.
The essence of Colombian culture is the result of its colorful history and the mixing of Spanish, Indigenous and African customs. This can be experienced at the Carnival of Barranquilla, which was proclaimed as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2003.
Come to Colombia and feel the kindness, warmth and wonderful hospitality of its people, be enchanted by their energy and charisma, and discover why Colombians are among the happiest people in the world.

These incredible places make our country an excellent destination for experiencing exciting adventures while enjoying some of the most spectacular scenery in the world.
