<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nLeticia is the capital of the Colombian Amazon. The only way to get there is by flying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you visit Leticia, you will first notice the chaotic traffic and shabby streets. But don’t worry, before night falls you will be amazed by how close to nature you are. You will see many birds that are hard to spot. Plus, every night at Santander Park<\/strong>, you can see the arrival of scores of parakeets who come here to roost.<\/p>\n\n\n\nA one-hour boat trip away from the crowds is a virgin rainforest.

These towering wax palms grow as tall as 200 feet. Unfortunately these trees are threatened by habitat loss, overharvesting, and disease. In an attempt to save the tree, the government declared it the official tree of Colombia and turned the valley into a wildlife sanctuary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The best way to reach Cocora valley which is part of Los Nevados National Natural Park<\/strong> is by Jeep from Salento<\/strong>, the closest town to the valley. Arriving at the valley is easy but seeing the wax palm trees themselves requires a short trek. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSalento is one of the most beautiful places in Colombia, a town located in the Coffee Zone<\/strong> (more about that below). The houses here have colorful wood roofs and doors while the walls are whitewashed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Coste\u00f1o Beach<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIf you’re looking for a beautiful and remote beach in Colombia, Coste\u00f1o Beach is a great option.

San Andres is a great place for scuba diving <\/strong>because the coral and marine life are very well preserved<\/strong>. People say that it is one of the best places in the world to dive.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you’re not interested in diving, the sandy beaches are still world-famous. You can access them by driving around the island on the 16 mile-long ring road.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBeaches at Tayrona National Park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Tayrona National Park<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nTayrona National Park is a beautiful place to visit in Colombia.
