The adventure travelers’ secret is getting out: Colombia distills the best of South America into one country, with sacred archeological sites akin to Machu Picchu in Peru, biodiversity to rival Ecuador’s Galápagos Islands, lush rain forests that extend down to Brazil, and the vibrant culture, energy, and culinary delights of its many metropolitan cities. The coastal city of Cartagena is a gem of colonial architecture, packed with churches, monasteries, plazas, palaces and mansions with their overhanging balconies and shady patios; a fairy-tale city of romance, legends and sheer beauty, not to be missed.

What to do

·Explore outside the walls of the Old City and visit the impressive San Felipe de Barajas Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Constructed in 1536, the castle is striking for its grand entrance and its complex maze of tunnels and passageways.

·Take to the street and eat! Get up-close-and-personal with the real Cartagena as the colorful characters of the calle fills your belly and warms your heart. Try local delicacies including bollo mazorca, carimañolas and mango biche to name just a few.

·Spend a full day exploring the archipelago of the Islas de Rosario by boat. Visit secluded, uncharted and deserted islets known only to local fisherman and spend the day relaxing on board or swimming in the pristine Caribbean water.

Settled by Norsemen in the 7th century this is a ’tilted’ archipelago, its eastern shores sloping into the frigid ocean and its western coastline rising up in dramatic cliffs, a mix of green arcing fells, craggy basalt protrusions home to puffins, guillimots and the world’s largest colony of storm petrels. See a waterfall empty straight into the Atlantic. Sail beneath 700 meter sea cliffs and be tossed around like a cork. But to see it at its most wild, you need to walk some of its 23 designated hiking trails. Do this, and getting marooned will never have felt so very proper.

What to do

·Ferry to Mykines and head out to Mykineshólmur, which is connected to the main island by a wooden footbridge over a 100 feet deep gorge and ends with spectacular views from the lighthouse. From there, visit the Puffin colony of Mykines, one of very few places where you can get up close to these arctic birds.

·Visit the historic village of Kirkjubøur, the southernmost village on Streymoy. Here is the country’s most important historical site with the ruins of the Magnus Cathedral from around 1300 and the Saint Olav’s Church from 12th century.

·Take to the sea on a RIB boat for a tour of Hestur Island, home to guillemots, puffins, black guillemots, shags, fulmars and eiders. You’ll be able to get as near as possible to the birds living under Loftið cliff, whose vertical wall measures some 1,200 feet.
