Perhaps the most well-preserved Spanish colonial city in the world, Cartagena and its fortress walls are famous for the enchanting, bright coloured buildings and history that they hold.

A warm, green city with "perfect" weather, Medellín has won the name of La Ciudad de Eterna Primavera, or The City of Eternal Spring. Medellín is famous for its vibrant nightlife, its beautiful mountain setting, and its two annual festivals: Flower Festival in early August, and the Christmas lighs in December. And, of course, Medellín would not be Medellín if it weren't for its passionate, regionally proud people: Paisas.

Just north of the Coffee Region lies Manizales, a city known for its proximity to Los Nevados National Park, where several volcanic peaks surpass 5000 metres altitude.
