Honeymoon in Colombia
Magical realism among coffee plantations and the Caribbean Sea
Honeymoon Score
Overview
Colombia is in fashion and not for less. It transmits a contagious energy. For a honeymoon, it offers the perfect mix between the colonial romanticism of the flowery balconies of Cartagena, the green and aromatic peace of the Coffee Axis, and the total disconnection on virgin beaches where the jungle merges with the sea.
Pros
- Extraordinarily cheerful and hospitable people
- Brutal diversity: modern cities, jungle, Andes and Caribbean
Cons
- Slow road transport due to mountainous topography
- Requires common sense regarding urban security in certain areas
