Known as the Ciudad Perdida or the Lost City, this ancient site is therefore one of South America’s most remarkably concealed gems.

The growing foodie scene in Colombia is particularly exciting and locals are therefore rightly proud of their famous dishes. Try the national dish Bandeja Paisa, a carnivores dream Fritanga, a bowl of sancocho, try snacking Arepas, and of course South America favourite; Empanadas, which in Colombia have a unique twist… deep fried. Be sure to try some of this delicious food on your adventure holiday to Colombia.
