Colombia fuses both contemporary urban and deeply traditional South American cultures. Located at the continent’s northern tip, Colombia’s countryside is spiked with tropical vistas and beautiful mountains, while lively nightlife excites thousands of visitors on Colombia vacations year after year. Vibrant street markets and flower vendors crowd the streets of many Colombian cities, and the breathtaking Bogotá Botanical Gardens provides travelers with firsthand glimpses of lush rainforests, colorful butterflies, and inimitable vegetation. The world-renowned City of Eternal Spring, named after its perfect climate, is a must-see during any Colombia vacation.
Colombia is a popular destination all year round—namely due to the northeastern coast jutting into the Caribbean Sea. Dry seasons last from December to March, and from July to August. Visitors traveling to Colombia’s urban area should take into consideration any ongoing political activity, and traffic from mid-December to late January is typically hectic as these are prime months when tourists book budget flights for a Colombia vacation. Temperatures range between 20°C and 30°C throughout the year, with May and October seeing the most rainfall. It is best to book during the summer, when fewer tourists are planning their Colombia vacations.
