The Happiest Country in the World
Voted Happiest Country in the World 2013, travelers are welcomed by a nation of content and carefree Colombians. The climate, the coffee and Cali (The World’s Salsa Capital) are just a few of the things that make the nation so happy, says The Huffington Post.
Booming Economy
Colombia is an exhilarating emerging economy in full swing. Rich with natural resources and home to the second largest population in South America, leading investment banks such as JP Morgan have labelled the country the next star of Latin America.
Environmental Diversity
Despite its relatively small size, Colombia is the second most biologically diverse country on Earth, home to about 10% of the world’s species. Split into five regions (the Caribbean, the Andes, the Amazon, the Pacific and the Plains), Colombia has something for everyone.
The Culture
Home to the late Gabriel Garcia Marquez (Nobel Prize in Literature winner), Shakira (international superstar), and Sofia Vergara (world-famous actress), Colombia is a country rich in cultural diversity that radiates passion, curiosity and beauty.
