COLOMBIA
|
| Colombia is rich in Spanish heritage,
with its traditions and architecture all reflecting its colonial
past. Bogota, the ultra modern capital city, has often been called
the Athens of America because of its cultural influences since the
time of the Spanish Conquistadors. Tropical in many parts, Colombia
also enjoys the magnificent Andean Mountains which run the entire
length of the country, as well as kilometres of beautiful beaches
on its Caribbean and Pacific coastal resort areas. |
