Colombia is a stunningly diverse country, the second most biodiverse country on earth in fact. It’s also home to many landscapes and destinations that most people have never heard, and would never have imagined were in one country. Most travel guides only deal with less than 50% of the country (the armed conflict has historically limited the possibility of travel), so there are loads of magical places than most people would never believe were in Colombia. So here are just 21 Places You Won’t Believe Are In Colombia –  it really is hard to believe that all of these magical places are in just one country!? And the answer is, once again, Colombia!
