Information about Colombia
After a long period of internal conflicts, it is now safe to visit Colombia. The capital, Bogota, is a metropolitan city, where shanty neighbourhoods and futuristic architecture sit side-by-side. The majority of the population lives in Bogota or in other “alpine” cities. As is typical in South America, Colombians share a passion for Caribbean dances. One of the most well-known exponents of this art-form is the famous singer/dancer, Shakira.

Q&A - Questions and answers about Colombia
- I would like to take a conversation-only course in Cali.“Currently, at the time of writing this, we do not work with any schools in Cali, but we do work with schools in other cities in Colombia such as Medellin or Bogota.
There are no group courses for conversation only, so the best option in your case is to book private classes.”Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Dec 15, 2022I am looking for a Spanish school, a cultural experience for myself, my husband, and our three kids ages 15, and 13 (twins). We would like to have experiences or other classes as well such as cooking. What would you recommend?“The school Babel International Language Institute in Cartagena can organize a family programme for you. Spanish lessons can be organized in groups or on an individual basis - depending on your current Spanish level. For the extra activities, it's possible to organize Salsa lessons, a day at the beach, a fruit tasting, a street food tour, etc.
It's also possible to organize Island hopping, scuba diving, snorkeling, and a day tour to a mountain town 2 hours from Cartagena.”Ana Carolina Dos Santos, LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 10, 2022FAQ about courses in Colombia
