Straddle two climates at once in Bogota or shiver in the cool highlands of Tunja. Your weather app will have a workout for sure!
And let's not forget the 'Plain of Jars'—okay, it's not filled with jars, but it sounds cool, doesn't it? ‘Los Llanos’ holds a gargantuan stunning swathe of tropical grassland bridging Colombia and Venezuela, where sunsets are like molten gold poured generously over a sapphire sky.
So there you have it, hazelnut in a geographical nutshell! Colombia – where every topographical turn is a marvel, unlike anywhere you’ve roamed before. Mountains to coastlines to plains, Colombia is not just a destination—it’s a full-on geographical spectacle! Pack those bags and shake hands with adventure! Isn't it about time you two met?
