Columbia - From Bogota to Cartagena (34/59)

Although Columbia offers a wide range of spectacular natural landscapes as well as cities from the colonial era, it is undeveloped to a large extent when it comes to the topic of tourism. The country is just trying to free itself from the involvement in wars, terror, violence and drugs which has been lasting for decades. At long last, this seems to work and peace and order return step by step. Not too long ago, at the beginning of this century, travellers dared to travel the country roads only under the protection of the military and driving in convoys. Nowadays, there are no problems anymore on the routes between Bogota and Medellin or Santa Marta and Cartagena. The constant presence of the police is particularly striking - no matter if in the big cities or on the countryside, the men in the green uniforms and cloaks with their braids of yellow daylight luminous paint are numerous and simply cannot be overseen..
