What is the climate?
The climate is extremely varied due to geographical diversity. Tropical on the coasts and plains, it becomes temperate to subtropical in the Andean mountains and cooler at high altitudes. Seasons are defined by humidity rather than temperature (dry season and rainy season). The ‘dry season’ (December-March and July-August) is generally preferred for travel.
What to eat? The local gastronomy
Colombian cuisine is hearty and flavorful. Try theAjiaco (chicken and potato soup), the Bandeja Paisa (a typical dish from the Medellín region), the Arepas (corn cakes), the Caribbean fish ceviche and, of course, the Colombian coffee. Exotic fruits are also a delight.
