COLOMBIA
The Caribbean is one of the most culturally layered parts of Colombia, shaped by Indigenous, African, European, Middle Eastern, and other immigrant communities who arrived through its ports and made the coast their home.
Cartagena and Santa Marta were important gateways to the country for centuries, and that history of movement and exchange can still be felt in the region’s food, music, architecture, and open, welcoming character. Here, Colombia feels distinctly Caribbean—connected to the wider world while deeply rooted in its own traditions.
