Colombia among Forbes’ 10 ‘coolest places to visit in 2015′

http://colombiareports.co/colombia-among-forbes-10-coolest-places-visit-2015/

Colombia is one the world’s 10 coolest places to visit in 2015, said US business magazine Forbes.
The list was put together with the help of Owen Gaddis, a luxury travel manager at the “super-high-end” travel company Absolute Travel.

Colombia made the “cool” list as it allows visitors to “savor this South American up-and-comer’s charisma, authenticity and jugo de lulo.”

According to the magazine, Colombia’s “stable” government “made it safe, and a new breed of hoteliers and operators are making it luxurious.”

“The country encompasses everything from pristine Caribbean coastlines, picturesque cobblestone streets in Cartagena, the exotic Amazon rain forest, seven UNESCO World Heritage sites, the buzzing metropolis of Bogota and some of the world’s most vivacious people,” said Forbes.

recent prices and am astounded. However, the Peso just had a major slippage (from 1850 or so to 2350 or so per USD) so that will help the tourist.
