Coffee is a beloved beverage in the USA, but have you ever wondered about the origins of the beans behind your magical morning brew? Often, the answer is Colombia. This country has so much to offer solo travelers, not least its Coffee Triangle region, where you can explore the tropical rainforests where coffee beans and towering wax palms grow, tasting Arabica and Robusta brews between walks on the lush estates.
Colombia boasts waterfall hikes for the active and white-sand beaches for those who wish to laze by turquoise water. All these activities welcome solo travelers, and you can often partake in tastings, island tours, and walks as part of a group.
Solo adventurers will love Colombia’s warm and friendly culture. The cosmopolitan city of Medellín is particularly famous for its welcoming people who go out of their way to be kind to visitors. Expect open social spaces (plazas) brimming with fountains, palm trees, and cafés serving delicious local cuisine like citrusy ceviche and mouthwatering savory pastries.
