COLUMBIA: Tailor-made holidays
There is mist and mystery about Columbia and without a doubt; it is a dramatically beautiful country with diverse terrain and weather. The Andes Mountains extend into the country in three ranges running north-south, while the east have the grassy prairies, the jungles and the rainforests of the Amazon that hide wondrous archaeological treasures. A major drawcard for tourists is the Spanish colonial port of Cartagena with its spectacular walled old town, a medieval wonderland of palaces, monasteries, plazas and overhanging balconies. Most visitors to the country usually go on organised package tours and find it a fascinating experience.
