Colombia tourism

You also will find internationalrestaurants specialized in several kinds of food. At night, the walled city areas are frequented by people of all ages, to enjoy the parties at nightclubs, enjoy and taste exotic drinks in bars, play incasinos or just sit to talk and drink a coffee in the traditional places of the historic center. The nightlife is one of the best plans in Cartagena.

Another destination is Medellin; this city ischaracterized by its diversity of flora and fauna. I recommend you to visit the Nutibara hill, one of the seven hills where you can observe the most of the city. The replica of a paisa village, naturalcorridors, balconies, restaurants and shops make this natural environment better for walking and sharing. Another option is to make a cultural tour.

You can go to the Botanical Garden, to relax,to walk and enjoy the nature that Medellin has.
