We decided we needed something epic to celebrate our 500th post on this blog, and what could be more epic than a list of 500 reasons we love Colombia?

Colombia is a country that has given us all so much, and we’re grateful to be able to give something back with this blog; to spread the word about Colombia and, we hope, encourage some would-be explorers to take the plunge and come and visit.

For this post our team of collaborative international writers took it upon themselves to come up with 100 reasons each. Needless to say, there was quite a bit of repeating going on, but we did our best to keep that to a minimum. This took a lot of time, so we hope you enjoy it. The truth is, there are hundreds more reasons to come and thousands more reasons that we love the country, but we could also boil it down to just one: Colombia is our home.

So thanks, Colombia, for making us all feel at home, whatever corner of the world we’re from.
