Adventure Holiday in Colombia

If you want to spend your holiday actively, you should definitely consider a trip to Colombia. How about for example a Trekking through the jungle? Then the Valle del Cocora with its gigantic palm trees, mystical cloud forest and dancing hummingbirds in Colombia's coffee region definitely belongs on the bucket list. If you're more comfortable, a full-day jeep tour from picturesque Salento through the national park is the way to go. There, the impossibly large Quindio wax palms regularly impress holidaymakers. Colombia, however, is not only waiting with rainforests and jungle landscapes: Just 3 degrees north of the equator is the golden-brown Tatacoa Desert. A jump into the cool water of the water basin in the middle of the bizarrely shaped landscape is one of the highlights of every trip to Colombia.
