Sun and beach tourism in Colombia

Those who have never stepped on Colombia, they can know about her only little more than what the super known Netflix series reflects, Narcos. However, Colombia is much more than that. Colombia is a great destination, especially for those who want to enjoy the sun and the beach, a few days of disconnection, and mainly, rest.

Colombia, destination of rest and relaxation

In Colombia, kilometers of white, yellow and / or black sand beaches, depending on which one we go to. It depends above all on the one we choose for its time slot in which it is more lonely and quiet. Therefore, an essential garment in our suitcase when we go to Colombia, will be the swimsuit and / or bikini. Better yet: take several of them because it will be the garment that you use the most.

You will have a fairly extensive list when it comes to finding places to tan in Colombia: Santa Marta, the islands of San Andrés and Providencia, Cartagena and the islands of Rosario, Capurganá ...

But why is Colombia the best destination to lie in front of a beach in the sun? Because it meets these essential conditions:

  • Good temperature: The temperature of both Colombia and the water on its beaches is ideal for bathers. Thanks to its good tropical climate, you don't need a wetsuit to avoid freezing.
  • Good accommodations: Almost the entire coastal area of ​​Colombia is more than ready to accommodate tourists in its hotels and cabins, however, San Andrés and Santa Marta are the Colombian Caribbean destinations that have the best infrastructure to receive travelers.
  • Good air connections: In recent years the different international air connections have grown a lot so that travelers can fully enjoy Colombia (through its different islands).

What is special about its beaches?

In Colombia, what is most abundant are undoubtedly coasts and islands. In them it is an easy task to plant the umbrella, fall on a deck chair and forget about the problems of the world, at least for a few days or weeks. We all deserve that break.

And yes, it is true that in Spain we have a large number of beaches and coves to go and enjoy that rest, but the crystal clear waters of its tropical coast, with more than 1.600 km of coastline in the Caribbean y 2.100 in the PacificThey have a wide range of beaches other than ours (neither better nor worse). Nothing more and nothing less than around 300 beaches of which to enjoy and choose according to whether we want to be surrounded by more people and have a coastal atmosphere or we want to enjoy the silence of the waves and our little time of peace. That would already be your decision: Do you prefer to enjoy the typical Caribbean party or do you prefer to get away from the noise?

To give you an example of natural beauty, in the San Andrés y Providencia archipelago we can visit a natural aquarium. There we can see goldfish even without putting on a mask without having to wear diving goggles or other utensils ... There the water is one of the cleanest and most crystalline. A delight that is enjoyed only a few times in life.

And on the other hand, depending on whether we want to enjoy one type of beach or another, the beaches of the Pacific, unlike those of the Caribbean, have dark sand, which gives them a special charm. In many of them we can see huge turtles, like leatherbacks so calmly walking through their sands. Another thing that you would not see here on our shores.

What else can we see in Colombia?

But there not everything was going to be seeing beaches and being relaxing, there are also many things to see. As for example, Barranquilla modern art museum, Church and Plaza de San Roque, the Cartagena lake, the Chicamocha National Park, Arví Ecotourism Park, etc ...

Do you dare to visit Colombia? Will it be on your list of tourist destinations on the next vacation?
