Separated by Panama, the Colombian coast is almost equally divided between the Pacific and Caribbean coastlines. While the former is barely touristy, the latter has long attracted visitors with gems like the magnificent colonial city of Cartagena, Tayrona National Park, the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (and its famous Ciudad Perdida), and the all-inclusive Caribbean hotspot of San Andrés Islands.
