Medellin is one of the most beautiful cities I've ever been to in Colombia. Actually it's the only city I've been to in Colombia. You can easily distinguish the culture and the way people are in Colombia from the people here in the US.

DANKE DIR KATHA!

Carthagena, Villa de Leiva, Bogota, Quito

This is a breath taking scenery; the climate is constant, between 20 and 27 Celsius. The architecture is typical of that region; it brings together a lot of Hispanic elements and mixes them with some traditional indigenous shapes and materials. Because of the background of its people and the difficulties of its geography this region has remain untouched, the main activity has been coffee, and now tourism is flourishing.
