Colombia Photos
About Colombia
Our photos of Colombia were taken from a variety of locations and landscapes around the country. We started in Bogota the capital city and explored both the rich and poorer suburbs as well as the central business district. Next we visited Medellin and explored that city extensively using the train and cable car system to gain access to poorer suburbs a top the city’s slopes and down in the valley to see a number of famous tourist attractions. We also traveled to a number of smaller towns and settlements including: Anapoima, Guatavita, Villa de Leyva, and Puerto Narino.
We struck out further afield to the Caribbean islands of San Andreas and Providencia where we met friendly locals, learned about the islands pirate history, saw incredible beaches, and swam in a sea of stunning blue.
In another trip we ventured south to the upper Amazon region where we visited some local tribes and trekked through the world’s largest rain forest.
Our photos of Colombia include images of cities, towns, coastline, landscapes, flora and fauna, as well as the Colombian people. Some of our photos date as far back as 2002, with another collection taken in 2009.
