I thought this place was out of this world and for a moment believed it could be the perfect hide away for aliens ;) The desert is not extremely large, but it offers enough different landscapes and activities for a few days’ worth of exploration. Plus, it’s one of the best places on the entire continent for stargazing, due to the near-total lack of light pollution.
Colombia has it all! High Andean mountains, beautiful Carribean beaches (think: white sands and turqoise waters), thick Amazon jungle, mysterious archeological ruins and cobbled colonial villages.
