In Parque Tayrona, known for its beautiful hikes and crystal clear seas, we’ll come at peace with ourselves and once again Colombia will astonish us in the Sierra Nevada, the world’s most biodiverse nature park. Our trip coming to an end we’ll conquer Colombia’s biggest river ‘el Rio Magdalena’ and we’ll arrive in the postcard town ofUsiacuri, the settlement that inspired Colombia’s greatest poet Julio Flores, to write his best work.
Every city has its exciting history, Cartagena being one of the continent’s most gorgeous ones but it sadly housed the greatest slave trade market.
