Colombia Has Diverse Cultures, Colombia

Displayed:   times.

To truly understand Colombia, visit more than one of Colombia's 'departamentos' (states) - each has a different landscape, distinct music, and friendly people who are quite willing to share their culture with tourists. You will find a diversity of culture that is rather astonishing - the people of Colombia range from descendants of freed slaves, who settled in isolated jungle and mountain areas, to 'paisas', residents of the Antioquia department, who trace their blood directly to Spanish settlers and now grow coffee and spectacular flowers. Diverse Indian tribes each have their own dress and way of life; and there are even cowboys, who live on the Llanos and hold harp-playing contests.
