Increasing number of travelers aim for Latin America. Today, we visit Colombia, a country of relax, diverse culture, habits and interesting inhabitants. Until the year 1993, Medellin was effectively ruled by the drug tzar Pablo Escobar. Now tourists crowd the city and it has been emerging as a hub of digital nomads. Bogota is about modern borroughs with skyscrapers and historic parts of the city. Hidden in the mountains, Salento is a nice change from busy big cities. Santiago de Cali is a great place to learn salsa. Well, see for yourselves how beautiful Colombia is.
