Its capital city is Bogota.
The hottest spots are: Cartagena de Indias, which is one of the most fantastic old cities, declared Patrimony of Humanity, and it has the boardwalk to the Rosario Islands, where you can view the Archipelago Nuestra Seņora del Rosario, with more than 20 islands, islets and keys. Another worth mentioning beaches are Santa Marta, with its fabulous white sands and modern hotels, San Andres, Providencia, the San Bernaro Archipelago and the Mangle Islands.
Colombia has many beaches, because more than 60% of the Caribbean Colombian coast is comprised of beaches, some formed by river sediments, and others by erosions of the coast. In other parts, the beaches have a coral origin, with grain sediments.
Varied climates, incredible beaches, natural reserves... an assortment of different landscapes, beautiful squares, and an active nightlife. All these elements make Colombia one of the most attractive tourist destinations of America.
