Conclusions and Reflections
While Europe and Asia capture the international headlines and tourists, South America and in particular Colombia remains off the radar in most North American tourist's minds. Many people still think of South America as dangerous, backwards, and very third world. What we found was the exact opposite. The Cities of Bogotá, Cartagena, and Medellin rival any city in Europe with its history and charm, as well as modern and upscale cosmopolitan lifesyle. For us, it was a wonderful discovery.
Our only disappointment was that our timing was off so we missed the grand Parade of the Fiesta Del Flores. We'll save that for another trip.
