Local Favorites
Cycling - Colombians love to spend their free time biking through the mountains whether for daily commute or for the joy of exercise - they even shut down major roads on Sundays to allow more space for biking.
Nature - Colombia is made up of a beautiful and diverse landscape from the beach-lined coast to the coffee farms in the Andes mountains with all the national parks and Amazonian life in between; Colombia is a nature lover’s dream!
Local Sport: Tejo - national sport similar to high pressure cornhole with heavy discs thrown at clay pots that traditionally explode on impact; today there are electronic sensors that sound off instead of an actual explosion!
