In Colombia, everything is interconnected, from the man selling Claudia Plums from his cart downtown to the young woman working in one of the country's top companies earning a high salary. You might wonder why we're so connected. It's simple: we are a country rich in variety and physical, social, and sensory contrasts that interact daily with everything our land offers. This makes us increasingly proud of our country and makes it an attractive destination for visitors.
To help you understand better, we will share some unique reasons and facts that explain this connection, all based on what you can see, touch, hear, smell, and taste.
Visual Delights:
In Colombia, you will encounter a variety of mountain ranges in different shades of green, visible even as you approach by plane. But the real treat begins when you set foot on solid ground.
Here, the city offers a vibrant palette, from modern buildings with empanada stands at their entrances to carts with loudspeakers announcing seasonal products, and buñuelo stands on every corner. You see people heading to work, cars bustling to their destinations, street performers at traffic lights, and suddenly a park full of trees. You'll find craft stalls run by cheerful vendors, and unique characters wandering around. This is what we are.

Touch:
“Seeing without touching means missing out on something amazing.” The magic of touch can be experienced in every activity here in Colombia.

Visit a farm and experience the seasonal harvest, getting your hands dirty with moist soil and grass. There’s no better sensation than feeling the hands of a farmer, representing a close connection with Mother Earth.
Soundscapes:
Listening is a sense you can engage deeply in Colombia. From the moment you wake up, you hear the breeze rustling through trees, the songs of various bird species, and the sounds of the city – cars passing by, street musicians playing for coins.
But the best part is that you don't need to travel far to escape urban noise for natural sounds. Whether in the desert, by the sea, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, or paramos, you can enjoy a variety of natural soundscapes. You can also delight in the smiles and conversations of people on the streets, proudly from "La Tierrita." That’s who we are!

Scent:
To truly know Colombia, don’t just visit the usual tourist spots. The more hidden, the better, and with distinctive scents. Each place here has its own smell, and with closed eyes, you can tell where you are. From the mountain air, flowers, and soil, to the varied scents of the streets. The steam from sudden rain after a sunny day, the smells of people, commerce, nightlife, and public transport all paint a vivid picture of our land. Close your eyes and smell your surroundings to appreciate the environment truly.
Taste:
Just like the places you visit, the food you try should also be varied. Not everything is about the traditional bandeja paisa. There are numerous culinary options, from street food carts to upscale restaurants. Here, you’ll find flavors that make your taste buds explode with delight.
No matter where you go, how much money you have, or where you come from, you will always find yourself returning to Colombia. Visitors often feel compelled to come back, not just for adventure or relaxation but to experience the true essence of our land.
