La Topa Tolondra Nightclub

I spent two months traveling all around Colombia, from the Caribbean beaches in the north to the mountainous coffee region in the south. This guide includes all of my curated recommendations of the best hikes, beaches, waterfalls, restaurants, cafes, and nightlife. I include all of the popular tourist destinations but also some towns that are off the beaten path. This is the ultimate guide to everything Colombia...don't miss out!

The thought of exploring Colombia on your own as a (female) solo backpacker sounds a bit intimidating? You came across the right guide! Here you'll find tips on safety, budgeting, language, food and visa, as well as extensive info on all the main backpacker's hotspots, including hostels, activities, and food recs. Buen viaje!
